In her dream bathroom, Cyndi describes that a huge soaking tub would be a must. “For me, a bubble bath is one of the best ways to close out my day with mindfulness,” she says. In addition, she would have a “really nice organizational unit by the tub and utilize it as a masking station,” while mixing “lush greenery with airy colors and surfaces” for a “simple yet stylish” aesthetic.

In the angular primary bathroom, “there’s a lot of levels, there’s a lot going on,” says Carine. “ Plaster felt like a really natural element that went with the architectural style of the house, but then it also sort of neutralised the busyness of all the things that were going on.” Travertine parquet tiles line the floor.
