Before + After: From Blah to Boutique Hotel Bath
Bright blue cabinetry, massive slabs of Carrara marble and a classic Chinoiserie fabric take this once-glum master bathroom from ho-hum to “hmm, would it be weird to throw a cocktail party in here?” The before and afters — from cramped and drab to airy and luxurious — are jaw-droppers.

White and Blue Master Bathroom With Hexagon Tiles
This master bathroom, part of a 50s ranch-style home, was gutted to open up its dark, cramped spaces. Now, pale gray marble and white walls set a bright, airy feel, punctuated by the zip of blue cabinets. For more storage, the designer added a shallow cabinet tower.
