Bathrooms

The shower is clad with a playful, abstract array of white, gold, and black tiles.

Slats along the facade filter natural light into the master bathroom.

The floor tiles are from Popham Design in a custom palette, paired with handmade subway tile in an earthy, off-white color.

LumiPods feature Axor fixtures in a chrome steel finish by default, although other options are available.

“I like creating moments of drama in a home—like the red subway tiles in the powder room—that add impact without taking over the story,” Davis says.

A ladder in Skye's bathroom leads up to a secret passageway.

The spacious main bathroom (a former bedroom), joins marble, brass, and green elements. It is innovative for its use of "micro-spaces" that are subdivided and contained within the scalloping of the rear wall. They are meant to make each element feel special and separate, dividing a large room into smaller spaces that "hug you as you use them."

The principal bath is clad in hammered quartzite and white glass, and it features a custom marble tile floor.

A geometric, peach-colored tile in the master bathroom adds a joyful jolt to the home. The walnut cabinetry is an ode to the home's mid-century roots.

The bathroom maximizes space and efficiency with a European-style glass shower, full tile in the bathroom, and high-end fixtures. All Wheelhaus homes use shower and faucet fixtures that minimize the waste of water.

In the bathroom, glass divides the shower area and toilet for an open feel. The low-flow shower head by Nebia cuts water use by 65% compared to a traditional fixture.

Art of the bath: The new bathroom features a pattern of staggered tiles, inspired by an art installation that wrapped around a corner. “Corners are overlooked—you can use them to emphasize the space,” says Rudabeh.

“I had them take out some of the lines,” Chris says. “I’m a fan of ’60s Op art, and you get a 3-D effect if you lay them in the right way.”

Modern bathrooms were installed using natural materials and simple fixtures.

Think about proportion and size. For instance, are you swapping out your old one because it’s too small? Are you planning to install a new vanity in a tiny powder room and need to find something small enough that would fit?

Black-and-white tiles infuse an otherwise minimalist bathroom with style.

The architects made low-cost updates to the bathrooms in the Victorian terraced house.
