Designer Walnut Lily took on the challenge of creating a luxurious guest bath experience for their clients. The homeowners’ vision was to blend a moody, masculine vibe with a warm and welcoming feel in just under 100 square feet. The bathroom door is directly across from the lower-level entrance, so the bathroom needed to look like a work of art instead of a bathroom. The dramatic, rich blue tile on the shower wall is a show stopper. The frameless glass door and golden grout showcase the herringbone pattern of the tile and complement the brushed gold hardware.

The homeowners were seeking a dramatic look for their small powder room but didn’t want to overwhelm the room’s 25-square-foot layout. ADJ Interiors struck the perfect balance between size and style by pairing beautifully bold faux finish marble walls with a simple walnut vanity. The contrast of the two helps to create depth and drama while maintaining a sense of calm and tranquility. The vanity features slabbed doors and a quartzite counter. The floating mirror flanked with crystal sconces have a minimalist feel to complement the statement walls.

This 30-square-foot powder room was in need of a refresh, and the family’s lively and colorful personalities provided plenty of inspiration for Youtopia Designs and Home Maintenance Solutions. The designers chose a matte porcelain tile that simulates Calacatta marble for the flooring, which helped neutralize the matte black picket tile that lines the bottom half of the walls. A sumptuous floral print wall mural covers the top half of the walls brightening up the small space. The mural serves as the statement piece and is accentuated by the lacquered turquoise vanity.

Styles come and go, but gold will always captivate, albeit through different shades, cuts or intensities. The precious metal has been around for ages and has symbolized everything from the mighty wealth of countries to an individual’s cultural influence. Designer, Ken Stuckenschneider, and owner of Stuckenschneider Decoration & Design tapped into the Midas touch to create an element of interest. But he also created a touch of novelty, casting the shiny and glistening material as the leading star of this old Hollywood-inspired bathroom.

1. Bold Black and White By Colordrunk Designs. This bathroom was designed as a Jack-and-Jill bath for two young girls. The designer went bold with the pink vanity (Benjamin Moore Pink Ladies). To break up the bold color, the designer chose a feminine Quadrille wallpaper custom colored in black and white.

Classic

I believe that bidets are a classic in design. They have been a standard in Europe for many, many years and should be a standard in the United States as well. They are quite refreshing and so easy to use. Tom Manche, Tom Manche Interiors, LLC.
