The owners of this home were looking for a fresh, modern update to the two existing non-descript bathrooms. After reviewing options for layout and materials, the decision was made to keep the palette consistent for both bathrooms; as such, these are designed as variations on the same theme: An exploration of contrast in color and textures.

In both bathrooms a simple palette of bamboo, white, and grey are augmented in special locations- the backsplash at the sink and the seat in the shower- with bold red tile. In both bathrooms, mirrored bamboo medicine cabinets above the sinks conceal indirect lighting. In the lower bathroom, a bamboo shelf is practical, holding vases and candles, and provides a strong visual horizontal line that works in tandem with the vertical mirror at the sink.

The trimless glass shower enclosures make the small spaces feel larger by limiting noticeable divisions between the various functions. The tile in the showers extends to the rest of the room as a wainscot, which also makes the room appear larger and cohesive.

The shower's long narrow stone tile is sleek and simple, while the niche's dark pebble back wall, similar in color, provide contrasting texture. The glass mosaic tile backsplash at the sinks adds texture while making a visual connection to the color of the shower seats.
