In a standard 5' wide room, this bathroom incorporated many of your tips - but also the overscaled tiles with huge leaf pattern added a subtle texture while keeping the monochromatic theme.. A wood ledge helps distance the tub from the wall and creates a feeling of larger space.

This bathroom boasts two gorgeous integrated Tinos Green marble vanity sinks! The craftsmen at First Class Granite have many years of experience working on custom countertop projects that involve unique design solutions and out of the box thinking. These integrated vanity sinks are an incredible design statement crafted with care at First Class Granite's workshop!

The design of this remodel of a small two-level residence in Noe Valley reflects the owner's passion for Japanese architecture. Having decided to completely gut the interior partitions, we devised a better-arranged floor plan with traditional Japanese features, including a sunken floor pit for dining and a vocabulary of natural wood trim and casework. Vertical grain Douglas Fir takes the place of Hinoki wood traditionally used in Japan. Natural wood flooring, soft green granite and green glass backsplashes in the kitchen further develop the desired Zen aesthetic. A wall to wall window above the sunken bath/shower creates a connection to the outdoors. Privacy is provided through the use of switchable glass, which goes from opaque to clear with a flick of a switch. We used in-floor heating to eliminate the noise associated with forced-air systems.

Gorgeous sage green paired with a green and brown designed quartz give this bathroom the ultimate spa feel. Tall linen towers set right on the counter provide functionality and an elevated sense of space. Black matte fixtures throughout with gold accents add to the rich feeling.
