Bathroom

The couple each had their own wish lists. Hers was focused on aesthetics and was very clear: a contrasting combo of dark and crisp-white tile along with warm wood, soft bronze plumbing finishes, and an elegant soaking tub. His list was all about the shower. He wanted to match the experience of a luxury hotel shower. Design objectives: -Open up the space and omit heavy millwork details -Furniture-style vanity in a warm wood finish -Classic neutral palette -Ample storage for toiletries and towels -Luxurious modern technology, especially in the shower THE REMODEL “I’m not good at coming up with ideas,” the homeowner focused on the shower told us. “I like it when someone taps into my idea and gives me the options of what I’m looking for. That’s what Diana did for me and the shower while making my wife’s clear vision for everything else happen.” Once the goals were clear, Diana identified the project’s challenges and solutions so the Drury Design installation team could make the remodel a reality. Design challenges: -Expand and open up the shower in a way that lets in more light -Continue crown molding from the rest of the home – solve for how this could work around the shower -More storage solutions in the same space -Create an elegant, streamlined look that unifies all of the new elements Design solutions: -Adding a soffit above the shower area allows crown molding to flow continuously -Large Robern medicine cabinets offer convenient eye-level storage while freeing up vanity space. The mirrors on both sides of the inner medicine cabinet make them bright and sleek without having to be lit. -Open elegance – spacious tone and feel created by free-standing tub highlighted by a large wall mirror and oversized sconces -White quartz with black and bronze veining ties all the materials together -Warm, contrasting character of walnut adds a nice infusion of nature into the spa-like space THE RENEWED SPACE This elegant bathroom is all about symmetry and well-thought-out details. A classic, spa-like appeal emanates from simple beveled subway tile, herringbone patterns in the floor and shower niches, and the gorgeous walnut vanity. The result is a beautiful bathroom that checks all the boxes from the homeowners’ original wish lists.

Both eclectic and refined, the bathrooms at our Summer Hill project are unique and reflects the owners lifestyle. Beach style, yet unequivocally elegant the floors feature encaustic concrete tiles paired with elongated white subway tiles. Aged brass taper by Brodware is featured as is a freestanding black bath and fittings and a custom made timber vanity.

Photographer Derrick Godson For the master bedroom I designed an oversized headboard to act as a back drop to this modern masculine bedroom design. I also designed a custom bed base in the same leather fabric as the headboard. Designer bed linen and custom cushions were added to complete the design. For the lighting we chose statement drop pendants for a dramatic stylish effect. The bedroom includes designer textured wallpaper, mirror bedside tables, remote controlled blinds and beautiful handmade curtains and custom poles. We also opted for a rich wool carpet and made to order bed end bench. The en-suite was created in a complimentary colour palette to create a dark moody master en-suite which included a double sink vanity and a spa shower. Bespoke interior doors were designed throughout the home.

The brief was for an alluring and glamorous looking interior A bathroom which could allow the homeowner couple to use at the same time. Mirrors were important to them, and they also asked for a full-length mirror to be incorporated somewhere in the space. The previous bathroom lacked storage, so I designed wall to wall drawers below the vanity and higher up cabinetry accessed on the sides this meant they could still have glamourous looking mirrors without loosing wall storage. The clients wanted double basins and for the showers to face each other. They also liked the idea of a rain head so a large flush mounted rainhead was designed within the shower area. There are two separate access doors which lead into the shower so they can access their own side of the shower. The shower waste has been replaced with a double drain with a singular tiled cover – located to suite the plumbing requirements of the existing concrete floor. The clients liked the warmth of the remaining existing timber floor, so this remained but was refinished. The shower floor and benchtops have been made out the same large sheet porcelain to keep creating a continuous look to the space. Extra thought was put towards the specification of the asymmetrical basins and side placement of the mixer taps to ensure more usable space was available whilst using the basin. The dark navy-stained wire brushed timber veneer cabinetry, dark metal looking tiles, stone walls and timber floor ensure textural layers are achieved.

Custom master bath renovation designed for spa-like experience. Contemporary custom floating washed oak vanity with Virginia Soapstone top, tambour wall storage, brushed gold wall-mounted faucets. Concealed light tape illuminating volume ceiling, tiled shower with privacy glass window to exterior; matte pedestal tub. Niches throughout for organized storage.

This bathroom was designed with the client's holiday apartment in Andalusia in mind. The sink was a direct client order which informed the rest of the scheme. Wall lights paired with brassware add a level of luxury and sophistication as does the walk in shower and illuminated niche. Lighting options enable different moods to be achieved.

The hall bath is also slightly larger than the original footprint, and has an entry from a bedroom and the hall.
