THE SETUP This client lives in a great high-rise condo in downtown Chicago. Alicia has already remodeled a few areas of her home, including her kitchen and home office. The bathroom is one of the last big places the client wanted to update. The existing bathroom had a large, outdated whirlpool tub in the corner. It was a darker space that had a lack of natural light. There are no windows (due to the bathroom’s location within the high-rise building). So, the idea was to brighten up the space and give the client an updated, elegant primary bathroom that is more her style and tailor-made for her routines. Design Objectives: - Make the space brighter. - Create different daily routine stations to maximize functionality while keeping things clutter-free – a makeup station, a blow-dry station, and a sink-needs station. - Achieve the client’s specific style and function needs while also keeping the look and design open to future possibilities: different users of the space/resale clients. Design Challenges: - Toilet cannot be moved. (In a high-rise, you can’t really move plumbing around too much when reimagining a space) - Existing bathroom had a soffit that hid a lot of electrical wiring, so completely removing the soffit wasn’t an option. - The blow-dry station needs to accommodate the client’s preference for standing up. - Finding a place for the make-up station, which the client wants oriented for sitting. - Create storage within the shower that can eliminate the clutter of personal care products that are actually needed every day. Do this, while keeping the client’s favorite things about the existing shower: the shower bench, a tub filler faucet (for rinsing shaving cream when shaving legs) and a low niche for placing her foot when shaving her legs. THE RENEWED SPACE Design Solutions: - Extended a bit of wall near the toilet to give the commode its own area within the space, but without closing it off into a claustrophobic WC. - Worked within the reality of the existing soffit situation, reshaping it to align with the new shower. Can lights were also added. Installed a beautiful ceiling light fixture that works within the new soffit shape, commanding attention and adding light, as if the sofit shape was chosen for it. - Created a nice, furniture-looking 42”-high cabinet with pullout drawers to be the blow-dry station, complete with a mirror and a nice top. The pullout drawers are all powered, concealing a Dyson dryer and curling iron (and all the accoutrements) while keeping them plugged in, which is ideal for easy usage and put away. A stylish mirror on the wall above the cabinet, and proper lighting, make this the perfect blow-dry station. The top has a grommet that can accommodate a power cord should the client ever want to have a powered device on top of the cabinet. - Put the sit-down makeup station where the tub used to be, putting the mirror back into a new recessed wall just a bit, allowing the area to have more room. - Created a niche in the shower’s inner wall so that you can’t see it unless you are literally inside the shower. At the client’s request, it also has a hook so she can hang her loofa. Hiding the utility niche in this way allowed us to use the full main wall of the shower as a canvas for a beautiful accent stripe of raised decorative tile. The new shower has her old favorites, too: the tub filler, foot niche and bench. Alicia’s client loves her new primary bathroom, especially the blow dry area. It is very accommodating for her, as a tall lady, while being very easy to use. The drawers store everything. Being powered, they make using already-plugged in appliances very easy to use and put away. Her previous makeup station was a freestanding vanity with a single drawer, so beauty products were all over the surface top. With her new makeup station, everything is nicely tucked away and organized in drawers. The new lighting is fantastic and the colors are light and soft. The clients loves the overall look and feel of her new bathroom and raves about how well the functionality-minded design makes her morning routine – and her life – easier and enjoyable!

Welcome to a harmonious blend of warmth and contemporary elegance in our latest bathroom design project. This thoughtfully curated space balances modern aesthetics with inviting elements, creating a sanctuary that is both functional and visually appealing. Key Design Elements: Brushed Bronze Brassware: The bathroom features brushed bronze faucets and fixtures, adding a touch of sophistication and warmth. The muted golden tones bring a sense of luxury while seamlessly integrating with the overall design. Metallic Feature Wall Tile: A striking metallic feature wall serves as the focal point of the space. The reflective surface adds depth and visual interest, creating a dynamic backdrop that complements the brushed bronze accents throughout the room. Walk-In Wet Room Tiles Shower: The shower area is transformed into a luxurious walk-in wet room, enhancing both accessibility and style. Large, neutral-toned tiles create a seamless and spa-like atmosphere, while the open design adds an element of modernity. Round LED Backlit Mirror: A round LED backlit mirror takes centre stage above the basin, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits. The soft, diffused lighting not only serves practical purposes but also contributes to the warm and inviting ambiance of the bathroom. Wall-Mounted Basin Unit and WC: The basin unit and WC are elegantly integrated into a wall-mounted design, optimizing space and contributing to the contemporary aesthetic. Clean lines and minimalist forms maintain a sense of simplicity, creating a serene atmosphere. Colour Palette: A warm and neutral colour palette dominates the space, with earthy tones and soft hues creating a calming environment. This palette enhances the inviting feel of the bathroom while ensuring a timeless appeal. Accessories and Finishing Touches: Overall Ambiance: The resulting bathroom design exudes a sense of contemporary elegance with its brushed bronze accents, metallic feature wall, and modern fixtures. The warm and inviting atmosphere ensures that this space is not just a functional area but a retreat where one can unwind and indulge in a luxurious bathing experience. This project represents a seamless fusion of functionality and aesthetics, where every design element is carefully chosen to create a bathroom that is both a practical space and a visual delight.

Le projet Croix des Gardes consistait à rafraîchir un pied-à-terre à Cannes, avec comme maîtres mots : minimalisme, luminosité et modernité. Ce 2 pièces sur les hauteurs de Cannes avait séduit les clients par sa vue à couper le souffle sur la baie de Cannes, et sa grande chambre qui en faisait l'appartement de vacances idéal. Cependant, la cuisine et la salle de bain manquaient d'ergonomie, de confort et de clarté. La partie salle de bain était auparavant une pièce très chargée : plusieurs revêtements muraux avec des motifs et des couleurs différentes, papier peint fleuri au plafond, un grand placard face à la porte... La salle de bain est maintenant totalement transformée, comme agrandie ! Le grand placard à laissé la place à un meuble vasque, avec des rangements et un lave linge tandis que la baignoire a été remplacée par un grand bac à douche extra-plat. Le sol et la faïence ont été remplacés par un carrelage effet bois blanchi et texturé, créant une pièce aux tons apaisants.

Warm Bathroom in Woodingdean, East Sussex Designer Aron has created a simple design that works well across this family bathroom and cloakroom in Woodingdean. The Brief This Woodingdean client required redesign and rethink for a family bathroom and cloakroom. To keep things simple the design was to be replicated across both rooms, with ample storage to be incorporated into either space. The brief was relatively simple. A warm and homely design had to be accompanied by all standard bathroom inclusions. Design Elements To maximise storage space in the main bathroom the rear wall has been dedicated to storage. The ensure plenty of space for personal items fitted storage has been opted for, and Aron has specified a customised combination of units based upon the client’s storage requirements. Earthy grey wall tiles combine nicely with a chosen mosaic tile, which wraps around the entire room and cloakroom space. Chrome brassware from Vado and Puraflow are used on the semi-recessed basin, as well as showering and bathing functions. Special Inclusions The furniture was a key element of this project. It is primarily for storage, but in terms of design it has been chosen in this Light Grey Gloss finish to add a nice warmth to the family bathroom. By opting for fitted furniture it meant that a wall-to-wall appearance could be incorporated into the design, as well as a custom combination of units. Atop the furniture, Aron has used a marble effect laminate worktop which ties in nicely with the theme of the space. Project Highlight As mentioned the cloakroom utilises the same design, with the addition of a small cloakroom storage unit and sink from Deuco. Tile choices have also been replicated in this room to half-height. The mosaic tiles particularly look great here as they catch the light through the window. The End Result The result is a project that delivers upon the brief, with warm and homely tile choices and plenty of storage across the two rooms.
