This bathroom was ‘phase 2’ of an earlier whole house renovation that we’d designed many years earlier. The ensuite design had to fit with the styling of the earlier extension, but was in the older, original part of the Edwardian home. It’s also a very small room measuring only 2m x 2m, with 2 existing doorways limiting wall space. The owners’ love of colour, texture and pattern led to the feature wall tiles being the starting point for the room. A plain white star tile has been instantly elevated with the use of a warm coloured grout. This is contrasted with the large format, flecked porcelain tile below. A hardwood recycled benchtop on the vanity continues the same benchtop material from the kitchen and family bathroom, as does the wall light to the side of the mirror - in this case being from Robert Gordan Interiors. Space and storage were key to this room functionally working. The sizes of the shower and vanity had to be millimetre perfect, and putting the sink on one side of the vanity freed up full drawers for storage. A semi recessed shaving cabinet and shower niche maximise storage without taking up extra room, as does the integrated toilet cistern.

Mosaic features, when used sparingly or as focal points, can become captivating design elements. The intricate patterns and meticulous arrangement of mosaic tiles showcase attention to detail and craftsmanship, elevating the bathroom's overall appearance. Grey surfaces, particularly when combined with glossy finishes, can play with ambient light, enhancing the bathroom's atmosphere. Light reflection and shadow interplay add a layer of complexity that adds to the overall sophisticated feel.

Grey is a neutral color that exudes timelessness and versatility. Its calming and understated nature lends an air of elegance to the bathroom, allowing other design elements and features to stand out while maintaining a cohesive and polished look. The vessel basin's elevated position draws the eye and adds a unique visual element that can elevate the overall design and style of the space. Modern interior design trends lean toward unique and innovative elements that break away from convention. Vessel basins align with this trend, offering a departure from traditional bathroom fixtures and designs.

Bathroom - country bathroom idea in Calgary

The use of different shades of grey, ranging from medium to dark, creates a subtle yet effective contrast that adds depth and dimension to the space. This contrast is pleasing to the eye and imparts a sense of refined aesthetics. The use of Brushed Stainless Tapware and Towel Rails work in with the monochromatic colour scheme. This consistent palette contributes to a sense of order and sophistication, creating a soothing and visually appealing environment.

The use of different shades of grey, ranging from light to dark, creates a subtle yet effective contrast that adds depth and dimension to the space. This contrast is pleasing to the eye and imparts a sense of refined aesthetics. Grey is a neutral color that exudes timelessness and versatility. Its calming and understated nature lends an air of elegance to the bathroom, allowing other design elements and features to stand out while maintaining a cohesive and polished look. Grey on grey design can lend itself to a minimalist approach, where less is more. This restraint in design, coupled with the subtle color palette, contributes to a sophisticated and refined atmosphere.

The brushed stainless finish has a subtle, refined appearance that exudes understated elegance. It doesn't have the high shine of polished finishes, which contributes to a more subdued and sophisticated look. The brushed finish scatters light rather than reflecting it directly, creating a softer and more diffused appearance. The brushed texture adds depth and tactile interest to the tapware. This texture contributes to a more luxurious and high-end feel, enhancing the overall sophistication of the space. Its simplicity adds a sense of modernity and sophistication to the bathroom.
