The solution

The goal of this design is to give the clients a space of casual elegance and sophistication. • This is achieved in the bedroom by utilizing a

neutral color palate of warm greys and rich wood tones and adding textural accents like natural fiber rugs, a beside lamp with a pearlized glass base, and flax-linen curtains. As well as two beautifully upholstered chairs adding a dark grey and a pop of blue with a bold pattern.

• The color palate continues into the bath and closet where the floor is a glazed porcelain tile that is reminiscent of wood and the shower features a highly textured, large porcelain tile and the room is then wrapped in a mosaic tile of glass and slate adding color and texture. The cabinets are a dark, quarter sawn oak with a beautiful volga blue granite and all fixtures are a beautiful brushed nickel.

The solution (continued)

• There is plenty of light provided in the bath and closet space thanks to a glass block ribbon window that wraps around the shower, a large single-hung casement window over the tub that will also help with ventilation as well as a door that leads out onto the backyard deck that includes an internal blind for privacy.

• The closet is completely custom designed and built for the space with plenty of hanging, shelf, and drawer space for clothes and an entire section devoted to shoes.
