FROM THE PUBLISHER When one considers that it’s a space with an essentially concise purpose, and typically one of the smallest rooms in the home, it’s amazing that we’re able to publish upwards of 80 different bathrooms every year. In this issue, we cover a wide range of projects from across the country and around the world. @DavidJideas facebook.com/
We open with master suites, including a fairytale-inspired woodland retreat. This, our opening
TrendsPublishingUSA
story, is from designer Bill Cook’s own vacation retreat. As a focal point, a deep sunken tub is positioned directly in front of a large, traditional wood-burning fireplace – a double-sided design that is shared by both the bedroom and bathroom spaces. Smaller spaces, too, are examined – and you’ll see that physical constraints are no impediment to a talented designer’s imagination. These bathrooms offer maximum functionality, despite their compact presence. Children’s rooms, a special portfolio of bathroom vanities, and a number of glitzy powder rooms round out the issue. As usual, each of our editorials is augmented by a complete list of the relevant designers,retailers and products used in the project. So if you’re looking for inspiration for your new or remodeled bathroom; wondering what materials are best suited to your needs, and where to find them; or searching for a design scheme that is truly your own, you will find the solutions and more inside. Happy reading

Hideaway The concept of the master suite as a private sanctuary is explored in a variety of different ways in the homes featured on these pages
master suites
Enchanted wood Bathing by firelight is just one of the joys of this mountain home, which resembles a magical cottage from a children’s fairy tale It started with a tiny 1940s cottage in the woods and grew to become a storybook house that’s all about escape. Owner-designer Bill Cook of Vermilion Designs Interiors says that right from the start of this new home project he wanted to conjure up the magical fairy tale house of every child’s imagination. “This vacation home in the mountains, which replaces
the original cottage, sits on a promontory beside a lake, so the setting was already there. It is exactly the sort of place you expect to find Little Red Riding Hood’s grandmother.” Architect Michael Faust designed the house, which is much larger than the original weekender on site – to the extent that a huge part of the upper story is given over to the master suite.
“The interior was all about creating character and an aged feeling,” says Cook. “I wanted the house to look as though it had been there forever, so we introduced a lot of old timbers, including reclaimed wood from old barns.” “The gabled ceiling in the suite is so high, I wanted to bring it down visually by staining the wood in a rich, warm shade. It is almost as though
Preceding pages and these pages: The interior of this vacation home in the mountains is filled with items collected by owner-designer Bill Cook over many years. In the foreground is an antique Austrian settee made from deer horn and deer hide. The weathered leather trunk embossed with nailheads held papers dating back to the 1800s. A double-sided stone fireplace is the focal point of the main suite. The 17th-century screen above the bed is in painted leather.

the room is permanently lit by firelight – parts of the ceiling even have a charred look.” Antique shingles around the dormer window and boardand-batten walls painted in a spicy caramel shade also provide an appropriate backdrop for the rustic furnishings Cook has collected over the years. “One of the features I have always wanted is a fire that can be enjoyed from the bedroom
and bathroom. That is precisely what we have provided in the suite – the fire is open to both rooms.” To maximize this, Cook created a sunken tub lined with silver cross-cut travertine. The tub is positioned in front of the fireplace, and next to the shower, which in turn is lined with Appalachian stone – even the floor is pebbled. “I wanted a calm, spa-like
bathroom, so the colors in here are lighter than the bedroom. We also introduced pebble borders around the travertine to soften the look and feel.” The vanity cabinetry echoes the cabinets in a mini kitchen between the bedroom and bathroom. Old yardsticks, used vertically in the small kitchen, are laid horizontally on the vanity, providing a textural, weathered patina.
Facing page: Faucets for a large sunken tub in front of the fireplace are mounted into a half-wall that separates the bathroom from a mini kitchen area. Cook says there are many whimsical features in the suite – he loves to inject a sense of humor into his home interiors. Here, he added apothecary jars to the top of the mantel. There is also a bust of a pharmacist (previous page). Above left: The grotto-style shower is lined with local Appalachian stone.

Simple, pared-back interiors go a long way towards creating a sense of serenity. With its modern classic furniture, concealed window treatments and suspended ceiling, this master bedroom is a fine example. Architect James LaRue and interior designer Paula Ables collaborated on the design of the suite, which is in a new house built in the Texas hill
country contemporary style. “The dropped ceiling appears to float within the room,” says LaRue. “It conceals services, creates an interesting shadow reveal, and accommodates a variety of mood lighting, including LED strips and downlights.” Ables says the tranquil look is also enhanced by the muted neutral color palette. “The bathroom, however,
needed to be ‘an event’ in the words of the owners. They wanted this room to deliver something quite special.” With this in mind, the team created a large multi-spray shower. This is fully glazed so the owners can look right out through a large window to an attractive landscape. “The owners liked the idea of having individual shower fittings, which are defined by
mosaic tiled columns featuring a colorful mix of ZD Cashmere glass and stone mosaics.” The top half of the shower box is tiled with Teardrop glass tiles, while the base is Light Emperador marble, as are the vanity tops and tub surround. For further continuity, shaker-style wood doors on the vanity are stained to match cabinetry in the kitchen.

An adventurous approach to interior design is all very well, but when you are designing an interior for a house that will be sold, it can pay to be a little more circumspect. That was the idea behind this master suite designed by interior designer Jennie Dunlop, who says the interior needed to be in keeping with the scale of the home and its prestigious location.
“The house is at the top end of the market,” she says. “It has a contemporary architectural style, and we wanted to echo that inside, without making it too slick or minimal. The house needed to appeal to a wide range of buyers.” In planning the palette of colors and materials, Dunlop says she prefers to start at the floor and layer up from there. “For the bedrooms in this
house, I chose a charcoal-gray carpet, which adds a comfort factor and helps with sound insulation. And while the carpet is quite dark, it is still a neutral element that works well with many different colors. Here, it is teamed with warm white walls, which are a nice foil for the carpet.” Warm neutrals continue in the ensuite bathroom, which features expansive tiling.
Above left: A dark charcoal-gray carpet established the color palette for this master suite designed by Jennie Dunlop. Because the suite is in a house that will be sold, the palette was kept neutral, yet contemporary. Above: Furniture provided by DMI HomeStagers, which includes a mirrored chest, adds to the sense of glamour. Similarly, the organic shape of the freestanding tub ensures the look is not too slick or sterile.

Large limestone tiles were chosen for the flooring, while an accent wall features darker marble tiles with a highly distinctive veining. “This tile is a very rich, chocolate shade, which adds visual interest without being too bold,” says the designer. In contrast to the crisp lines of the bathroom and the contemporary tapware, Dunlop chose more organic forms for
the freestanding tub and the asymmetrical twin basins. The concept of pampering was also a design influence, the designer says. “In recent times there has been a noticeable trend towards more glamorous bathrooms with spa-like qualities,” she says. “The curves help to balance the hard lines and soften the look.” The tub is positioned in
front of the low window so that bathers can enjoy the harbour view beyond. The view is also reflected in one of the mirrors above the cantilevered vanity. “Floating the vanity above the floor makes the room seem more spacious – although it is already large. We also introduced drawers with recessed handles, to keep the look crisp and modern,” says Dunlop.

Peaceful retreat Ample natural light and a restrained color palette give this master suite a restful ambiance
These pages: This master bathroom forms part of a master suite by architect David Martin, working with designers from Barbara Scavullo Design and the owners. A vertical glass privacy panel shields bathers from the connecting corridor, while the translucent glass allows light to filter though both ways. The shower stall to the right features a limestone blade wall set between glass panels. A beige countertop and green subway tiles contribute to the subtle color palette.

In substantial houses, the master suite can be seen as the kingdom within a kingdom, taking up a large percentage of the floorplan. In this personal realm, there are often two design imperatives – privacy and a feeling of serenity. This master suite was designed by architect David Martin, in collaboration with interior designer Barbara Scavullo and the owners. The home is a contemporary farmhouse style, with gabled roofs, wood ceilings, and double ridge beams framing long skylights. However, in the bedroom, where light control is paramount, there are no skylights – they are only in the connecting corridor and bathroom, says Martin. “Instead, other approaches were taken to optimize a light, airy feel. For example, the ceilings are a light-toned plaster, not wood, and there are small windows above the soffit. “Access to the bathroom and bedroom is by a central corridor. This opens directly to the bathroom and while there is no door, a benchmounted glass privacy screen in the center of the room shields the tub but still allows light to filter both ways. This screen, together with the oval bathtub and freestanding wall that holds the shower controls, gives the bathroom a vertical, highly sculptural appeal.” A fixed mitered corner window further optimizes solar penetration, and outlooks, without the obstruction of hardware. Below this and almost out of sight, two operable windows provide cross ventilation. These are translucent to shield views from the ground level outside. Privacy from within the home is achieved by sets of pocket doors, one at the entry to the bedroom, and another closing off the entire master suite at the beginning of the circulation corridor. With the cool limestone floor, wall tiles and glass privacy wall offset by the warmth of the wood cabinetry, the bathroom achieves an easy material balance. Both rooms feature a muted palette, with an emphasis on soft, natural tones.

Eastern promises This contemporary master suite melds a variety of tactile surfaces with Asian design accents to create an individualistic retreat

When a love of all things Asian draws you to the East, and you enjoy the luxury of high-end resorts, it’s understandable that you might like to evoke that aesthetic in your own home. The clients on this project by Christopher Grubb, principal of Arch-Interiors, were looking for an expansive master suite with several nods to Eastern design and culture. The bedroom occupies the same footprint as before, but the new bathroom gains space from a disused deck, that became a walk-in closet. The original bathroom had included a corridor, two closets and a cramped vanity area, says Grubb.
“Once the two rooms were completely stripped back, we created an open-plan master bathroom and bedroom, separated visually by a stand of bamboo canes set in a bed of pebbles. Geometrically patterned shoji-style screen doors can also be drawn between the spaces when privacy is required.” The screen doors are repeated at the entry to the suite and Grubb took their serene lines as inspiration for the Asian-look dresser and cabinets that bring a natural warmth to the rooms. Wood also features on the hexagonal ceilings and the bedroom floor.

“However, this suite is not Asian-themed. It is more a contemporary design that includes artifacts and accents drawn from throughout the East to give it depth and nuance. “Some elements are decidedly modern. The stone tiles on the bathroom walls create the impression of a single large slab of stone with chisel marks runnings though it. “To help soften the bathing space, I installed a curved tub surround. The mosaic shower tile, which glistens even when dry, is repeated on two columns at the other end of the tub. These flank a full-height waterfall wall feature.”

A place by the river To complement an idyllic, marshland setting, this master suite appears to have evolved over time – much like cabins in a hunting lodge or fishing camp A peninsula in the marshlands of the South Carolina Low Country, with water on three sides, is an enviable location for a vacation home. Because the setting is so compelling and has a long history, the property owners Rick and Kathy Fairman, wanted their vacation home to reflect the local architectural heritage rather than the McMansion-style houses popping up elsewhere in the neighborhood. Interior designer Gregory Vaughan of Kelley Designs Inc says the house has a
32
board and batten exterior, and the rustic ambiance continues on the interior. “The master suite, for example, has painted butt boards on outside walls, and has been designed with the hunting lodge, fishing camp style in mind. Even the position of the suite – in a wing of its own off one end of the house – is designed to look as though the rooms could have evolved over many years. The bathroom, with its furniture pieces, could have once been a bedroom, with plumbing brought inside to provide facilities.”
search | save | share at my.trendsideas.com
Vaughan says the starting point for the design was a glass-fronted armoire by Four Hands, found at the Highpoint International Furniture market. Made from reclaimed wood, the armoire has a white interior, which appealed to Kathy. “She also loves the armoire’s hardware mechanism, where the bolts open with the pull of a long rod.” The other furniture, including two recessed medicine chests copied from old photographs, was custom manufactured by John Zoot of Wood Creations.
“John was able to translate our ideas with great attention to detailing – the medicine cabinets even have dark bronze latches that probably date back to the ’30s. Other hardware and the bronze faucets are also true to the design, and in keeping with the look of the clawfoot tub and the perceived era of the home. Vaughan says Kathy loves the idea of items gathering a patina. The hammered copper sinks will gradually change color, as the house itself will change as it settles in and weathers over time.
Facing page and left: A traditional fireplace adds a cozy ambiance to this master bedroom in a new rustic home beside the water in the South Carolina Low Country.

Styling a sanctuary When it comes to creating a personal spa retreat, the look of every element counts – it’s a concept Gessi takes to heart

As our homes increasingly open up to shared, highly social spaces, there’s a corresponding need for bathrooms to be transformed into inner sanctuaries – places for personal retreat and reflection. In such spaces, every element, from the super showerhead to the smallest soap dispenser, helps to achieve an aura of calm and personal expression. Leading Italian fittings and fixtures producer Gessi recognized the bathroom’s importance as a place of private wellness more than 20 years ago. The company also
recognized that the shower, as the center of our daily routine, should provide both an opportunity for exceptional relaxation and the same aesthetic pleasure as a treasured piece of art. Larry Allen, CEO managing director of Gessi North America, says Gessi has created a new style of living. “Gessi products are designed to be experienced,” he says. “They allow the user to enjoy personal spaces that offer a new sense of wellbeing.” To this end, Gessi has designed a spa

The Gessi Mimi collection is a transitional design that is carried through from the showerhead into faucets, basins, mirrors, towel racks, towel bars, benches and soap and lotion dispensers. Coordinating your bathroom fixtures and fittings imbues a sense of tranquility and helps to turn your bathroom into your own private wellness center.

Awaken your senses A long soak in a hot bath is all the more relaxing when you can engage all the senses with the ThermaSens™ therapeutic bath from BainUltra® Above: Slipping into the new ThermaSens™ bath from BainUltra is like immersing yourself in the calm and soothing waters of a lake. Designed to provide a sense of fulfillment and tranquility, the ThermaSens bath features three silent technologies that cater to your sense of sight, smell, touch and hearing.

In these busy times, it is crucial to be able to take time out to recharge your batteries. And often it is the simplest things that are the most restorative – like a lazy soak in a hot bath. BainUltra, the company that introduced the renowned Thermomasseur® air jet baths to the market, has taken the concept of bath therapy to the next level. The company says its new category of therapeutic bath, ThermaSens™, is the first to offer therapies supported by three of the most advanced technologies on the market, which are all designed to enhance a feeling of wellbeing and awaken your senses.

All of the technologies provide a quiet, peaceful sense of escape, with therapeutic benefits. For example, ThermaSens features AromaCloud™, an aromatherapy diffuser that is seamlessly incorporated into the deck of the bath. This releases a fine haze of essential oils that are readily absorbed. The soothing mist of the AromaCloud is combined with Chromatherapy for a harmonious synergy. A fully integrated light system lets you experience the energy vibrations and restorative power of the various hues. The third key technology provided in the
new bath is the WarmTouchShell™. Heating zones in the bath’s inner shell provide a warming touch to the parts of the body that need it the most. These zones are on the headrest, backrest and seat, where they quickly rise to over 101°F, creating a warm, cocoon-like sensation and a state of comfort and relaxation for the bather.

small spaces
Stretching out A variety of approaches ensures these bathrooms achieve a sense of airy spaciousness
Preceding pages and above: This reinvented bathroom by architect Alan Berman has a slender basin and repositioned toilet – design decisions made to create more space. Facing page: The floor consists of octagonal and square tiles married together. Originally, the smaller central squares were white. However to extend the green color palette, the central squares were painstakingly removed and replaced with green versions by the tiler.

The eyes are surprisingly easy to hoodwink. Choices of dimensions, tone or room layout can all greatly alter our perception of space. In this project by architect Alan Berman, and designers Juliana Codas and John Kristovich, the owners had expanded into the apartment next door. Bathrooms were typically Manhattan style – quite small – and they wanted to rejuvenate them. One is a guest bathroom, while the other is for their daughter, says Berman. “For the guest bathroom, we were able to remove a closet completely and move the toilet to that position, adding more usable space.

“The owners strongly favored the color green, so we introduced horizontal glass shower tiles in this hue and ran a border in the same tile around the top and bottom of the square wall tiles, drawing the room together. The horizontal glass tiles create the illusion of breadth.” “Specifying a pedestal sink rather than a full vanity also gives an impression of space,” says Codas. “We selected a narrow basin to further expand the usable floor area” The glass shower stall extends sightlines, and the mirror appears to double the size of the room, increasing the sense of openness.

A sense of playfulness was requested for the daughter’s bathroom – otherwise, the directive was to continue the emphasis on green. “To inject youthful energy into the design we opted for a decorative wall in an Ann Sacks tile,” Berman says. “This features glass ‘bubbles’ in a marble setting. We also introduced this tile as a border on the floor, tying the shower area into the greater volume of the bathroom.” Specified in exactly the same shade of green, the horizontal wall tiles alongside again give the feeling of a more generous space. “While this bathroom required the storage
of a full vanity, we played down its presence by cantilevering the unit off the wall and fitting wall-mounted faucets,” says Codas. As in the guest bathroom, a glazed shower stall and mirror help give the valuable illusion of spaciousness. “The glass bubbles contribute an adolescent charm and zest, but the look won’t date as the teenager grows up,” Berman says. save | share Search 38925 at my.trendsideas.com

Sometimes a straightforward approach can bring out the best in a bathroom. A simple material palette and division of use can evoke a sense of space and tranquility. This bathroom by architect Shaun Lockyer has a modest footprint but still achieves an expansive feel. Several factors contribute to this, says Lockyer. “Floor and walls are finished in travertine tiles – the uniform look is restful and spa-like, and enhances the sense of space. Countertops are in Italian marble and we specified standing basins to further the resort-like ambiance.”

The shower enclosure is at one end of the long, narrow space and the bath is set into a niche at the other, again accentuating the impression of plenty of room to move. “A wall-length mirror doubles the space visually, and the glass shower enclosure and semi-transparent, acrylic privacy screen avoid blocking extended sightlines,” says Lockyer. Lighting design makes its contribution to the spa-like feel. A set-back ceiling allows light to filter in from above, and placing the glass louvers high up addresses privacy issues – the house is in close proximity to its neighbors.

Light box Diffuse light not only pours into this remodeled, marble-lined bathroom – it also floods a dark hallway on the other side of a translucent glass door
Bathrooms may be private spaces, but sometimes they are right in the sightline of a major axis through the home. This small bathroom is at one end of a dark passage immediately off the entry hall. Its position was a key factor determining the design of the remodeled space by architect Gregory Thomas of CG&S Design-Build. “Since the only natural
52
light into the hall is through the door of this bathroom, we needed to ensure the light could still penetrate,” he says. “The bathroom also had to look beautiful when glimpsed from the entry hall.” The former cubicle-style layout was rearranged to achieve this. A new large glasswalled shower beside the existing window occupies the full width of the room.

“The entire bathroom is flooded with diffuse light from the translucent glass in the window,” says Thomas. “The light shines through a translucent glass door into the hallway, yet the bathroom still provides plenty of privacy.” Calacatta Gold marble wraps the bathroom, with deep recesses in the walls providing glass shelving and storage for linen and other items.
“The walls either side of the door were thickened to accommodate these recesses,” says Thomas. “The extra depth also helps to block the toilet from view – we tucked it around the corner from the door.” To introduce a sense of substance, the vanity has an extra-deep custom quartz top with integral basin. The quartersawn cherry cabinetry, which has a clear finish, also
conveys a look of solidity and permanence. The vanity is cantilevered, which helps make the room appear more spacious. The marble tiles on the walls and shower are a large format, while hexagonal mosaics in the same marble provide a non-slip floor in the wet area. save | share | plan Search 42583 at my.trendsideas.com

Watery embrace An emphasis on curves and layers give this powder room a surreal presence, yet functionality is optimized at every turn Above: This bathroom by Elina Katsioula-Beall of DeWitt Designer Kitchens accentuates soft lines and layering.

There are no straight lines in nature so why design a room that’s dedicated to pampering the curvaceous human form in a linear style? This other-worldly bathroom was created by designer Elina Katsioula-Beall for owner Chris Newton, who requested a design celebrating curved lines, with a generous use of bamboo. The original bathroom had a galley-style layout and was modest in size. To gain valuable space, the side walls were pushed back by six inches, and all shower services, the toilet cistern and a retractable storage tower were set into an adjacent room, says Katsioula-Beall.

“We replaced the existing tub with a large steam shower with an S-shaped enclosure, door and soffit, and a concave bench, custom shaped to Newton’s body,” says Katsioula-Beall. The softened lines continue throughout, and can be seen on the S-shaped vanity which transforms into one of two curved half-walls that enclose the toilet area. In addition, the vanity mirror meets the marble wall in an organic line, top and bottom. This extends into the shower enclosure. Even the lighting track follows a snaking line.

use of curves might seem indulgent in a limited space, here everything is set out to maximize use. For example, the half-wall that arcs around the toilet makes extra room available on the vanity countertop. Besides interwoven flowing forms, layers add to the room’s sense of mystery. As well as the suspended glass vanity top, there are niches cut into the various wall planes, to accommodate a floating full-length mirror, a warming ladder, a towel rack, and toilet rolls. “The builder who created this room for us, Michael McAlister, also works in special

effects in Hollywood, and knew how to bring the design together in an exciting way,” says Katsioula-Beall. “For example, the glass sink is lit through the drain with a green LED light, and the shower bench has chromatherapy fiber optics set beneath it.” Perhaps the most natural aspect of the space is the use of bamboo, seen on the curved vanity front and the end of the pull-out storage tower. save | share | images Search 42609 at my.trendsideas.com

Interior designers are often asked to create a contemporary interior, but invariably this is with a soft edge. For this bathroom renovation, however, there was no softening required – the owner wanted a slick, sharp, edited look. Designer Shelly Handman says the new bathroom replaces a Japanese-styled room with a huge soaking tub that took up most of the space. The bathroom was also very enclosed and compartmentalized. “The new owner wanted a much more open, flowing space, and it was important to bring light into the long, dark hallway leading to the

bedroom,” Handman says. “Consequently, the existing walls were replaced with very sleek Mondrian-style glass and steel partitions that pay homage to the subtle Deco styling that can be seen in the baseboards and mouldings. “We played with different glass opacities within the space – the glass beside the hallway is sandblasted to allow plenty of diffuse light to pass through. To provide more privacy in the toilet room, these glass walls are laminated, while the shower walls are clear glass.” Sharp contrast is created between the powdercoated black steel and the crisp, white

In the shower and toilet, the walls feature gray backpainted glass that makes a glossy contrast to the honed marble floor tiles.

children’s bathrooms
Over the rainbow The imagination runs wild in these children’s bathrooms, where innovation is the order of the day
Only young once Bright, cheerful and highly original – there’s no excuse for children not to spend time in these fantasy bathrooms

Just as a homeowner has a say in the design of their house, so children enjoy having an input into the design of their bedroom suite. This suite belongs to a child who came up with the idea of a rainbow theme. This request was passed on to designer Royston Wilson, who carried out the interior design of the whole house, which has a French Chateau style.
“The rainbow created the focal point, from which everything else in the bathroom could radiate out from,” says Wilson. “We thought, how wonderful it would be for a child to lie in bed and catch a glimpse through the doorway of the sun peeping out from behind the rainbow.” Wilson says the space was not without its challenges, however. During construction,
the ceiling height had to be lowered by 12in, so the rainbow needed to move down the wall, which impacted on the mirror and lighting. “The mirror was redesigned as a collection of circles that represent bubbles, which could be positioned so they don’t conflict with the rainbow. The planned bubble light fixture was changed to a shorter crystal style with LED downlights,
so it still looks like floating bubbles.” To make room for a bathtub that was a late request, the team took some space from the adjoining balcony, rebuilding the exterior wall. “The specially ordered Bisazza tiles were reconfigured to fit the changed space, and the ceiling painted blue. The final result is a bathroom that appeals to the child in us all.”
Preceding pages and facing page: Colorful Bisazza mosiac tiles create a brilliant rainbow in this child’s bathroom, designed by Royston Wilson. To make space for the bathtub – a late addition – the room was pushed out towards the balcony and a new exterior wall built. Above: The cantilevered vanity has a Mountain Bluebird Staron top that complements the blue in the tiles and the dark blue ceiling that resembles the sky above.

Another bathroom in the house is fit for a princess. Wilson says the only instruction from the daughter of the house using this suite was to use the color pink. “We researched plumbing products and found a fuchsia pink mixer and faucet. We also discovered the new Laufen Mimo collection, offering a handbasin collar and toilet seat in a bubblegum pink shade.”
The designer then created a dramatic pink-fronted vanity cabinet, which is cantilevered from the wall. “We positioned the vanity opposite the door so this would provide the most visual impact – it is the first thing you see when you enter,” he says. The vanity features pink, heart-embossed drawer fronts in a new Laminex product – 3D Forms & Illusions in the color
Lovely. Further embellishment is provided by diamante-style handles that catch the light. “We introduced an unusual glossy white tile to the vanity wall for added pizzazz,” says Wilson. “The tile has a textural wave pattern that is highlighted by LED lighting around the vanity mirror. The designer says the pink elements can be changed out easily if required in the future.

Fuchsia pink metallic paint was used on the ceiling. The D-shaped bath is semi freestanding, with one side fixed to the wall for ease of cleaning.

Out of a fairy tale The personality of each child shines through in the colorful customized bedrooms in this remodeled home
Children love to have their own space, and it’s all the more special if they get to have a say in how it looks. That’s precisely the way it worked for the family living in this extensively remodeled home – each of the four children had their own appointment with interior designer Kimberly Grigg of Knotting Hill Interiors. “Each child was able to tell
72
me their likes and dislikes and favorite colors, and discuss what was important to them,” the designer says. “The only overriding theme requested by the owners, was that we choose the sustainable option wherever possible.” The soft lavender and green bedroom on the previous pages belongs to the eldest daughter, who loves horse riding and is an avid reader.

“This daughter had stayed at the Michelangelo Hotel in New York and also loved the idea of vintage furnishings with an edge,” says Grigg. “We provided her with lots of places to curl up with a book – on the chaise, the window seats or on the bed, which has two swing-arm lamps. There are also lots of bookshelves and two recycled nightstands that we painted green.”
The designer introduced chocolate brown as an accent, and added a Greek key pattern to keep it a little edgy. Another daughter, whose favorite color is red, wanted bunk beds and a “fort” for her bedroom. Grigg created a canopy above the top bunk to provide a sense of enclosure, and softened the red accents with pale aqua blue. A ceiling rose was hand-painted with
flowers that mimic the fabric in the drapes. For the two younger girls, who share a Jack and Jill bathroom, fresh pink, lemon and green tones were specified. “We attic shopped for these rooms,” says Grigg. “The tulle for the canopy in the green room was found in a backroom in our shop, and an old shelf became the crown. Existing furniture in the lemon room
was repainted in a bubblegum pink. These bedrooms are also linked by the subtle striped painted walls – one vertical and one horizontal. While the ceilings in the other rooms are colored, these bedrooms have off-white ceilings to counter the busier pattern on the walls.” save | share Search 42620 at my.trendsideas.com

In their original bathroom, the owners shared a single vanity, but rearranging the layout created space for one each. Placing the vanities on either side of a corner separated by decorative shelving provides privacy. Kohler Caxton basins are teamed with Dornbracht Tara faucets in Platinum Matte. The vanity tops are honed marble and the dark-stained maple cabinets are by Grabill Cabinetry. Search 18344 at my.trendsideas.com

Glamour and glitz Exotic finishes, sparkling highlights and a coffered ceiling create a mood of pampered seclusion in this powder room The powder room offers an opportunity for hosts to send a wordless assurance to their guests – you are important. The attention to detail lavished on this often small space is all about pampering and luxury. This rather grand powder room forms part of a wholehouse remodel by interior designer Iris Dankner. The owners had asked for a glamorous aesthetic throughout the
interior and this extends to the powder room, says Dankner. “I designed a coffered ceiling to set the scene and introduced the textural appeal of Venetian plaster on the wall above a dado rail. The rail itself is made of tiny onyx tiles, which are repeated in larger format on the lower wall. “The floor is also finished in onyx, in the same small tile format as the dado rail.”
Dankner chose a mirrored console for the vanity base, which supports a freestanding onyx bowl. An antique chandelier in Venetian glass and a mirror with an embellished frame contribute to the glamour and sense of private luxury. save | share Search 38914 at my.trendsideas.com

A renovation project in a house by a noted architect and designer brings an opportunity to reinterpret their motifs in the new design. When reworking this powder room in a home by noted architect David Adler, interior designer Susan Brunstrum of Sweet Peas Design says she was inspired by Adler’s love of eclecticism. “Geometric themes play a unifying role in this design. I repeated the diamond pattern Adler used on the hand-planked door on the metallic, multi-level ceiling which hides the many pipes and varying ceiling heights.” The diamond motif can be seen again on

Finally, 133,000 paint dots were applied individually by syringe!” Other features of the space include pop-art portraits of the original architect and his sister, interior designer Frances Elkins. save | share | images Search 42597 at my.trendsideas.com

Powder rooms always pose their own design challenges, especially in apartments where they are likely to be internal rooms. This new powder room, designed by architect Alan Berman and the design team at Archetype Design Studio, with direction the client, replaces the original bathroom that dated back to the ’50s. “The owner wanted the

new powder room to feel less enclosed,” the designer says. “It also needed to have a much more modern look and be as light and airy as possible, given that it has no windows.” Project manager Ingrid Rancier says the room was gutted and slightly enlarged. The walls were clad in white tiles with a textural finish that adds visual interest and reflects light.
“White walls and ceilings always help to make a space seem larger and lighter,” she says. A new beveled mirror also reflects the light from two sconces and a ceiling lamp. With its square edges and negative detailing, the vanity has a contemporary aesthetic. A calming Zen influence is evident in the shaped sides and dark wenge wood finish.
The cabinet doors feature a subtle pattern of plants and leaves that keeps the look soft. Laid on the diagonal, the Lite Emperador marble floor tiles have a matching border. “The diagonal pattern creates a sense of movement, so the flooring doesn’t look too staid or square” says Berman. “It doesn’t appear to be restrained by the walls, which makes the room seem larger.”
Facing page: With its floor-to-ceiling glossy white mosaic tiles, this remodeled powder room reflects plenty of light. Accessories include glass shelves and sconces with a rustic gold finish. Brown-toned Lite Emperador marble floor tiles were laid on the diagonal to enhance the sense of space. They also ensure the room doesn’t look boxed in.

Windowless and enclosed, the powder room offers designers a chance to break with a home’s overall decor for a more playful, individual air. This modest space has been remodeled by Jennifer Corredor of J Design Group as part of a condominium refurbishment. Several elements combine to give this central, yet almost hidden powder room a one-off aesthetic, says Corredor. “To complement the existing wave-shaped wall I introduced a textured pebble tile surface, with a contrasting smooth marble feature wall. I set the vein of the stone two ways for interest. “The focus of the room, however, is the sink.

This is carved from a solid marble slab, sourced from Italy, and weighs over 800lb.” The wider decor combines the classic and modern and this theme is echoed subtly here. “An ornate mirror adds a touch of the exotic, while the sculptural toilet, also circular, offers a more minimalist, high-tech presence. “The curved wall and pristine white marble floors draw you into the space,” says Corredor. save | share Search 39153 at my.trendsideas.com
