From Our Scrapbook: Favorite Bathrooms In the Western Suburbs

Dramatic Colors in a Theatrical Setting

This space saving two-wall arrangement puts all the essentials close at hand, yet assures individual grooming space for two in a dramatic setting highlighted by dark wood vanities, luxurious granite, built-in storage, dramatic lighting, and the glitter of metals and glass. A glass-walled shower completes the amenities, and the layout even makes room for a corner TV — a boon for both busy morning grooming routines and leisurely pampering.

Now, That’s Some Shower!

This may be the ultimate indulgence for a home spa — a shower with multiple spray heads, a built-in seat as well as integral niches for all those necessary products. It also has a convenient bar that keeps terrycloth towels always within reach, and a fixed wall of glass that lets in the light and makes the shower a part of the larger space.

Cloaked in beautiful travertine and accented with rich granite, oil-rubbed bronze faucets and traditional wood vanity, this master bath incorporates the ultimate in luxury. It even has space for a comfortable lounge chair, adding to the spa experience in an at-home setting.

Give a Nod to Tradition

If you have a traditional master bathroom in your home, but you’d like to give it a facelift, there’s no need to change the character of the space completely. Some of our favorite remodel projects rely on the layouts, shapes and colors of the past. Personal preference and good taste are expressed in many ways. Here, soothing colors, familiar white furniture-style cabinets and traditional fixtures are well suited to a modern lifestyle.

The Beauty of Modern Minimalism

Sparkling modern vanity sinks highlight the countertop of this dual-station vanity with a simplistic melding of function and beauty. The architectural effect of the counter edge adds a graphic beauty, repeating the lines of the fixtures, and the taller faucets stand like sentries ready to spring into action. Lighting is simple, and the dark wood frames of the mirrors repeat the tones of the wood vanity. This is a functional space, to be sure, imbued with an almost Zen-like quality, perfectly executed in soothing sand tones.

Drama Queen

Any powder room worth having should evoke a response. This is the place to make a statement! And this one speaks volumes in terms of sophistication, materials, colors, and texture that are sophisticated and artful. We love the simple round shape of the above-counter vessel, accented by a tall faucet in a bold finish and the simple frame of the mirror and the layered display of framed art.

We enjoy the detail of the twin wall sconces with their crisp white shades atop slender columns of black and polished crystal. And we love the reflection in the mirror that shows the convenient location of this essential room!
