Luxurious Master Bathrooms

The relaxed, peaceful feel of the master bedroom flows right into the bath by means of ample tilework in varying shades of gray and brown. Found on the floors, along the walls as wainscot, and as the tub surround, this material unifies the area. Small, tightly spaced half-round tiles enhance the shower area.

Instead of a basic doorway between the master bedroom and bath, the architects designed a glass wall as a divider, with grommeted curtain panels that can be pulled for privacy. The glass wall visually enlarges the space and adds a sense of calm to the dramatically stenciled room. The large floating bathtub invites relaxation and serenity.

The upstairs master suite showcases a modern barn door, which slides along a track to close off the bath. Because the exterior architectural style of the house borrows from farmhouse vernacular, with board-and-batten siding and a galvanized roof, the barn door is a fitting interior detail. The bright saffron color ties in with the saffron-and-gray bedding and updates the look.

You don’t always have to install the bathtub flush against a wall. Instead, enclose it with wood for an innovative, freestanding option. A sturdy, low wooden box was designed for housing the tub. To give the floor visual interest, large square tiles were cut into 2-inch-wide strips and laid in a herringbone design. The tile pattern was also applied on the wall behind the tub.
