Family friendly design is baked into everything we do here at down2earth interior design. As a mom myself, I’m always looking for design solutions that are fun, but also durable, practical, and low maintenance. Vanities with drawers and baskets are a great way to keep kids' stuff organized at a height they can reach. A seamless ceramic top is easy to clean, even if kids smear toothpaste all around. monogrammed towels help kids keep their towels straight. And the bold custom color on the vanity provides a jolt of youthful energy. A small scale mosaic floor tile prevents slipping even if some water gets spilled on the floor. Safety first!

Este pequeño aseo de cortesía debía contrarestar con diversión lo que no tenía en proporciones. Jugamos con un papel negro de jungla para aportar profundidad en la parte alta, recurrimos al mayor contraste con el negro, que es el color amarillo, para marcar rotundamente el pequeño mueble del lavabo, y jugamos a llenar la parte baja con un mosaico de mármol natural blanco en espiga para que no quedase ninguna zona completamente llena. Aquí el Más es Más. Por supesto, la lámpara debía estar a la altura y este Camaleón de Seletti fue la elección perfecta. This small courtesy toilet was supposed to counteract with fun what it did not have in proportions. We played with a black jungle paper to provide depth in the upper part, we resorted to the greatest contrast with black, which is the yellow color, to emphatically mark the small vanity unit, and we played to fill the lower part with a marble mosaic natural white herringbone pattern so that no area was completely filled. Here More is More. Of course, the lamp had to be up to the task and this Chameleon by Seletti was the perfect choice.

Another view of the guest bathroom with a walk-in shower. The glass enclosure makes the space seems much larger. Love the wood look porcelain tile on the shower walls and the tan random marble mosaic shower floor. The double vanities make this guest bathroom easy to spread out and enjoy the visit. The beautiful polished Taj Mahal Quartzite counter looks great with the natural colors in the stones and tiles...and then we have the pop of color from the seashell wallpaper. Nice!

Small bath remodel inspired by Japanese Bath houses. Wood for walls was salvaged from a dock found in the Willamette River in Portland, Or. Jeff Stern/In Situ Architecture

The clients in this Minnetonka home dreamed of a sophisticated space that reflected their style and harmonized with the other rooms. Crystal frameless cabinets in an off-white high gloss UV lacquer float above a large format porcelain tile floor, Caesarstone counter-tops, polished nickel plumbing fixtures, and a decorative wall sconce replace worn finishes and lend an air of sophistication. Earthy, limestone tiled walls with the cream and taupe color scheme blend with other areas in the home. Storage solutions were a must as bottles originally cluttered the counter-top due to the lack of storage. Robern medicine cabinets hide clutter and an open shelf at end of tub provides display and storage area. The shower was expanded to the window and inside, the bathtub surround creates a small ledge for setting toiletries.

A world of relaxation is just steps away in your private bathroom with this masterpiece. More and more people now prefer to enjoy the beneficial and invigorating experience of a hotel spa in the comfort of their own four walls.
