Bed & Bath Design : Episode BDE-1211 -- More Projects »
Host Joan Kohn tours the luxurious master suite of Janet Carusos modified Georgian estate. Designer Karen Sugarman created a formal, neo-classical style for the bedroom, bath and dressing areas reminiscent of grand European hotels.
- The color scheme is soft and beautiful: pastel shades of pink, blue, green and yellow.
- Opulent fabrics of varying materials and colors add warmth and texture to the room.
- Cove lighting adds a soft glow above the ceilings dentil moldings. A crystal chandelier in the center of the room adds light in a grand style.
- The large bathroom, divided into smaller niches, uses traditional materials but has modern functioning. There are two separate water closets that contain sinks and vanities; hers is decorated in a soft, feminine style while his has walls upholstered with fabric imprinted with soldiers and lions.
- Between the two small bathrooms is a pedestal soaking tub, located in a bay window.
- The hexagon-shaped shower has brass fixtures and multiple shower heads. Its angular shape softens its presence in the room.
- An elaborate chandelier is the focal point of the bathroom lighting. It is augmented by wall sconces.
- Two closets located opposite the bath are large his and hers walk-ins.
