PEOPLE'S PICK BATHROOM
Artist's Retreat
This bathroom/bedroom suite is a true artist's retreat. The
homeowner is an attorney by day, but her true passion is
creating unique and colorful works of art. She wanted their
primary bedroom suite to reflect a clean and contemporary
gallery-type feeling, while adding the functionality she needed
for daily use of the space.
She requested to increase her closet space as well as add a
soaking tub; however, the square footage of the bedroom suite
could not be expanded, thus creating a challenge of adding
function and additional storage within the existing space.
A wet room was created consisting of a soaking tub and
shower positioned behind a floor-to-ceiling Starphire glass
panel. A wall-hung commode was specified to further open-up
the visual floor space of the wet room while also reinforcing the
clean lines of the design. The wet room is anchored by a custom
mosaic tile backwall featuring the client's own artwork.
The vanity and closet space, which is accessed directly off of
the main bedroom, needed to flow cohesively with the desired
white and gold color scheme. High-gloss white cabinetry and a
crisp white quartz countertop mesh beautifully with the satin
gold fixtures, hardware, lighting, and sliding closet door frames.
Custom mirrored cabinets maximize every square inch of
storage space above the vanity top while doubling as a functional
three-way mirror.
Mirrored recessed storage cabinets were also positioned
above the commode and behind the full-length mirror for jewelry
storage. Satin glass and acrylic panels were back-painted and
inserted into brushed brass frames to conceal the carefully
positioned closet cabinetry. LED lighting was positioned in the
toe kick, behind the closet sliding doors and in the newly
designed bedroom tray ceiling. The renovated space creates a
calming retreat while maximizing storage and function. Most
important, it reflects the unique and creative client giving her a
space that is truly one of a kind.
