For maximum lifestyle and resale value, the basement was renovated with a full bath, for both guests and the fitness enthusiasts. The new bath follows the same urban design with black wall hung cabinetry and a reclaimed walnut countertop. The black paned shower door welcomes guests into an oversized shower with stunning oversized porcelain tiles, black fixtures, and a wall-to-wall niche.

This bathroom has zero storage before we remodeled it. We added a freestanding vanity with drawers to replace the pedestal sink that was there before.

The original bathroom consisted of an oversized, built-in jetted bath that consumed more real estate than needed by today’s standards. The tiny shower was in a separate room next to private the water closet. The clients wanted to keep the private water closet but craved more counter space. The only natural light in the room was a large picture window above the tub. We decided to forgo the tub in Lieu of a larger shower. We utilized the extra space in one of the closets. The window was frosted to allow the natural night to enter the room without compromising privacy. The removal of the wall allowed an 8-foot expanse for double sinks divided by a linen tower. Cabinets are painted in charcoal and provide a natural contrast to the white quartz counters. The client’s aversion to multiple finishes was soothed by providing matte black fixtures, and lighting.

Solution: Wall-mounted everything! Free up more floor space and give the illusion of a far bigger room by negating any pedestal items from your bathroom. Wall-mounted suite items and storage are the key here and, as an added bonus, look terrifically contemporary.

Next door to the laundry is guest bath. We opened up the shower area, re-tiled in a stunning picket tile and mosaic floor. We kept the room open and clean with an iron pedestal sink and framed mirror. The room is clean, contemporary, and lasting.

This small space transforms into an exotic getaway. Mandala wallpaper begins a journey across continents. Wall sconces with ornate gold mandalas over white stone bases and a Moorish shaped mirror accentuate the design without overwhelming it. A black vanity pulls the intricacies out of the wallpaper, allowing a back and forth design conversation. White chevron floors remind us of hand paved roads, but keep us here, present and cool with clean lines and timeless pattern.

To break up all the white tile, a black border was included to define the shower space, and outline the room.
