Wish List Comes True
These homeowners wondered if they could fit all they wanted into their narrow master bath: whirlpool tub for two, steam shower with ample bench, double vanity, expansive closet... Our answer: "Yes, you can—and more."
Rather than risk frozen pipes by placing plumbing in an exterior wall, we crafted a deft solution: An aqua-blue mosaic adorns a pillar that conceals the shower’s inner workings and keeps them safe. Frosted panels provide shower privacy — without sacrificing a clear sight line in the room.
The glass-walled steam shower anchors the long, narrow space. Further keeping the mood tranquil: undulating while tile on the walls, stainless and chrome accents, and rich gray floor tiles that offer an unbroken threshold to the master bedroom. The gleam comes from a balanced combination of recessed overheads and bright vanity light bars.
On one side of the shower, the tub; on the other, a double vanity. Along the wall runs a long closet with translucent sliding-glass doors. Behind the vanity, a recess lets in morning light and carves out space for the laundry area.
