Style With Simplicity

Create a uniform and visually pleasing environment by continuing the tile from the floor to the tub. Use a blend of warm taupe and gray hues to evoke a spa-like feel. In this bathroom by Gary Lee Partners, simple cabinets in a dark finish balance the neutral-colored countertop. Large mirrors are used to reflect the light that enters this room.

Apply Your Personal Touches

Before selecting a soaking tub to go with an oversized shower keep in mind the features that enhance the experience for you. Choose from therapeutic lights, rain showerheads or jets that control angles and pressure. In this design by Pepe Calderin Design the homeowners selected an overflow tub feature. Design your bathroom around your needs. Photo courtesy of Barry Grossman

Integrate Materials

Proportion and scale are essential to the success of this design. The oversized window, mirror, countertop and sink complement the proportion of the large stone slabs and tiles. Pepe Calderin Design created a well-balanced design by integrating an embellished stone with accents of a neutral-colored stone. Photo courtesy of Barry Grossman
