From the designer:
The brief
The owners wanted a luxurious ensuite that has the feeling of a retreat or a resort.
It was to use beautiful natural materials, offer an element of calm and be a place to pamper.
The response
Our homeowners’ love of crystals inspired the choice of vanity bench top surface.
We used a single concrete vessel basin in a deep navy to complement the smokey tones of the quartz.
Textured glass pendants in rust and amber tones bring warmth to the room along with the travertine floor tile which is used on the floor and shower walls.
The travertine tile mirrors the wallpaper from the adjacent master bedroom, allowing the spaces to feel connected.
A ledge was built into the shower to provide storage and a minimalist feeling.
The reeded glass shower screen was used to further enhance the calm and luxurious feeling and provides privacy.
