Bathrooms

Don't neglect the faucet. It’s important to remember that faucets aren’t always included in a new vanity, which may require a bit of research and coordination.

This bathroom, tiled in bright blue mosaic to offset the home’s limited materials and color palette, calls for a simple vanity. The sinks, toilets, and tubs are by Villeroy & Boch, while the faucets and towel rails are by Grohe and Avenir, respectively.

An IKEA vanity has Semihandmade cabinet doors, with a Kohler Elate deck mounted faucet at the sink. Nemo Strada floor tile complements Popham cement tiles in the shower, now lit by a skylight.

Classy, streamlined and modern, vanities with under-mount sinks such as this Duravit D-code sink are ideal for smooth, retrained aesthetics.

The master bathroom of this North Carolina home features very contemporary, custom made concrete countertop with integrated trough sinks.

White walls, a luxurious marble double-sink, and an area rug give this bathroom an inviting atmosphere. “The natural light, open spaces, and light color palette make it a great place to wake up in the morning,” Flournoy says of his home. The sink is from Restoration Hardware and the rug is from West Elm.

Though not as popular as they used to be, the classic ceramic pedestal sink can elevate bathrooms with more traditional or heritage design concepts. They harmonize will with subway tiled walls and clawfoot bathtubs.

In the bathroom of “Mad Men” actor Vincent Kartheiser’s “Japanese-inustrial style” Hollywood home is an irregular-shaped sink of raw stone adjacent to the shower and soaking tub.

To save money, Bruce and Connie together performed both site work and interior finish work, including Connie's tiling of Stephanie's bathroom.

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

Maldonado partnered with Daltile to use matte one-inch keystone tile in a different tone for each bathroom, and suite 302 features a blue color. The orange surface is by Shelfology, and the soap bottle is Cloud 9 Clay.

Penny tiles in two colors cover the walls in the wet room on the second floor where wall-mounted plumbing fixtures preserve countertop space atop the solid brass sink.

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

The bathrooms in Yoder’s townhouse feature Geberit polished chrome dual flush plates.

The WC shares a wall with the main bathroom and a Geberit “back-to-back” connector was used to save on installation and materials costs.

A Geberit Sigma dual flush plate in Alpine White was chosen to complement the “light and white” look.

Bier and his team have a passion for rich texture and expressive materials in the bathrooms they design. Geberit concealed in-wall systems allow the palette to take centerstage, and the brand also offers flush plates in a variety of finishes and designs—sleek brushed metal, glass, and stone—to complement any scheme.

The home is defined by its breathtaking views over the surrounding mountains, and this was a major driver of the design—even in the bathrooms, which feature carefully considered picture windows. “Maximizing the panoramic mountain views and harmoniously integrating them into the interior spaces was a key priority,” says the designer.
