What a great shower! frameless shower doors, an alcove to store shampoos and other shower items. The corner seat is very functional and very convenient. Beautiful white and soft yellow master bath. Dave Adams Photogropher

Main Bathroom – Greys & Timber Warmth This main bathroom comes with all the right moves. Firstly, the soft grey and white terrazzo. Taken from the floor to halfway up the wall. A tile that creates interest yet is not busy. We love how the niche is from the same tile, creating a flow and the eye is not distracted. The niche is lit with an LED strip, which we love. Who doesn’t love extra lighting to create mood and ambience. The niche is finished with black trim to match the accessories. This isn’t a large space so by laying the subway tile in a vertical block your eye is drawn up, elongating the room, and making it appear larger. The black vertical towel rails keep with the theme along with the freestanding black bath mixer. The freestanding bath was a great choice, it is allowing the bath to command the room, standing as a statement. An insert bath which would have had to cling to the walls and would have gotten lost with the terrazzo tile. The shower comes with its own lit niche, vertical shower head and farmless shower screen. Tiles match the rest of the room, continuing the vertical subway and terrazzo. As a main bathroom storage is always front of mind. A custom vanity has been created to fit the space, timber veneer finish adds warmth to the room, along with the white Caesarstone top. The shaving cabinet is custom built with a mirror running the full length which reflects the light from the opposite window. Making the space appear bigger and brighter.

In this 90's cape cod home, we used the space from an overly large bedroom, an oddly deep but narrow closet and the existing garden-tub focused master bath with two dormers, to create a master suite trio that was perfectly proportioned to the client's needs. They wanted a much larger closet but also wanted a large dual shower, and a better-proportioned tub. We stuck with pedestal sinks but upgraded them to large recessed medicine cabinets, vintage styled. And they loved the idea of a concrete floor and large stone walls with low maintenance. For the walls, we brought in a European product that is new for the U.S. - Porcelain Panels that are an eye-popping 5.5 ft. x 10.5 ft. We used a 2ft x 4ft concrete-look porcelain tile for the floor. This bathroom has a mix of low and high ceilings, but a functional arrangement instead of the dreaded “vault-for-no-purpose-bathroom”. We used 8.5 ft ceiling areas for both the shower and the vanity’s producing a symmetry about the toilet room door. The right runner-rug in the center of this bath (not shown yet unfortunately), completes the functional layout, and will look pretty good too. Of course, no design is close to finished without plenty of well thought out light. The bathroom uses all low-heat, high lumen, LED, 7” low profile surface mounting lighting (whoa that’s a mouthful- but, lighting is critical!). Two 7” LED fixtures light up the shower and the tub and we added two heat lamps for this open shower design. The shower also has a super-quiet moisture-exhaust fan. The customized (ikea) closet has the same lighting and the vanity space has both flanking and overhead LED lighting at 3500K temperature. Natural Light? Yes, and lot’s of it. On the second floor facing the woods, we added custom-sized operable casement windows in the shower, and custom antiqued expansive 4-lite doors on both the toilet room door and the main bath entry which is also a pocket door with a transom over it. We incorporated the trim style: fluted trims and door pediments, that was already throughout the home into these spaces, and we blended vintage and classic elements using modern proportions & patterns along with mix of metal finishes that were in tonal agreement with a simple color scheme. We added teak shower shelves and custom antiqued pine doors, adding these natural wood accents for that subtle warm contrast – and we presented! Oh btw – we also matched the expansive doors we put in the master bath, on the front entry door, and added some gas lanterns on either side. We also replaced all the carpet in the home and upgraded their stairs with metal balusters and new handrails and coloring. This client couple, they’re in love again!

This is the new Master Bath on the Master Bedroom addition. Notice the free standing sink with storage for the towels. A beautiful cabinet also for storage and the wood matches the frame of the mirror An added touch is the white wainscoting below the soft yellow walls. Dave Adams Photographer

The Geberit Monolith comes in two versions: an in-wall system compatible with a wall-hung toilet (shown here), and a floor-mounted version compatible with existing floor-mounted toilet plumbing.

Beautifully crafted bathroom furniture.

On the opposite wall, the chimney breast is mirrored to reduce the “closed in” feeling, with an angled wall where there is a pedestal basin. Photo's by Ben Wrigley Photohub
