A graceful stone-look shower naturally fits this relaxing bathroom with stone wall tiles and dark porcelain flooring. A brushed-nickel sconce illuminates the interplay of dark and light tones. http://www.lowescreativeideas.com/indoor-spaces/bathrooms/bathrooms.aspx

This apartment combination connected upper and lower floors of a TriBeCa loft duplex and retained the fabulous light and view along the Hudson River. In the upper floor, spaces for dining, relaxing and a luxurious master suite were carved out of open space. The lower level of this duplex includes new bedrooms oriented to preserve views of the Hudson River, a sauna, gym and office tucked behind the connecting stair’s volume. We also created a guest apartment with its own private entry, allowing the international family to host visitors while maintaining privacy. All upgrades of services and finishes were completed without disturbing original building details. Photo by Ofer Wolberger

This jewel box bath features gloriously variegated stone. Such stone can be very challenging to work with - this designer spent more than two full days specifying where each and every piece would go to create the flowing naturalistic patterns you see here.
