Bathrooms

A little panel of wallpaper against sunny yellow tile feels fresh without being twee.

Another one of the bathrooms comes with an oversized shower wrapped in red subway tile.

This marble slab holding bathing fixtures in this home is a great example of a simple yet striking way to change the dynamics of a space.

The shower is encased in mirrored, one-way glass that provides privacy while preserving views out to this Amsterdam canal.

After: The new bathroom is straight out of Laura's Pinterest dreams, with stacked white ceramic tile (from Zia) and matte black fixtures (from AF Supply). She plans to add more plants to make the space even more serene.

Houle designed the ofuro tub in the master bath to mesh with the home’s tallowwood wall paneling. The Ikea sink is outfitted with Vola faucets.

The lower-level bathroom enjoys a door to the outdoors so the family can enter directly after surfing. Green Emser tiles are arranged in a unique alternating pattern, and the shower floor is from Concrete Collaborative.

After: Alexandre found the bathroom light fixtures while visiting the countryside outside of Sao Paulo: "When I passed a house that was being demolished, I saw these lamps in the rubble and asked if I could pick them up."

In the en-suite bathroom of a California vacation home, the walls and the shower are coated in tadelakt, reflecting the owners' inspiration from the local landscape and travels abroad.

Step through the plaster arch, close the curtains, and gaze out to the cactus garden (wine optional).

The first phase of the remodel enlarged the footprint in the main bathroom, which pairs marble hex tile on the floor with Fireclay tile on the walls. The mirrors were $506 from Rejuvenation, and the sconces are by Nino Shea Design ($660 for three).

Hexagonal penny tile ascends from floor to ceiling in the skylit primary bathroom.

The second-floor hallway bathroom is the largest in the house. “That was more of our dream bathroom,” the clients say. “The fixtures are very historic looking, and felt true to the house.”

Rounded, sculptural fixtures resonate with the soft curve of the segmental arches.

The skylight illuminates the Vieques bathtub designed by Patricia Urquiola.
