Since 2009, I’ve been working in the interior design industry. I’ve interned for a hospitality design company, worked in various furniture and fabric showrooms, and been an interior designer for a design-build firm. I decided to hang out my shingle and launch m studio interior design in 2015. And now I get to do what I love best: Design homes that are totally customized to the clients I work with!
In our fast-paced world, finding moments of tranquility and relaxation can be a challenge. However, with thoughtful design and a focus on mindfulness, even the busiest of spaces can become havens of peace and rejuvenation. Let me share with you our award-winning primary bathroom, where modern sophistication meets earthy elements to create a spa-like retreat tailored to the needs of its owners, our fun-loving and down-to-earth clients. Below is just a glimpse of where we started!
The journey of this bathroom began with a desire for a space that could seamlessly integrate into the homeowners’ busy lives while offering moments of respite and calm. With a commitment to minimalism and functionality, we set out to transform the outdated and underwhelming room into a modestly lavish bathing suite that exuded serenity and ease.
Despite the challenges posed by the limited space, we managed to create a harmonious environment that catered to the homeowners’ needs. By strategically reconfiguring the layout and maximizing the available space, we were able to incorporate must-have features such as a freestanding tub, a spacious shower, and dual sinks without compromising on comfort or style.
One of the standout features, and perhaps an element becoming a trademark of mine, is the wood-looking accent wall that anchors the freestanding tub, instantly drawing the eye and setting a tranquil tone upon entering the room. Paired with brushstroke-like wall tiles and polished nickel fixtures, the space exudes warmth and sophistication, inviting relaxation and reflection.
In keeping with the theme of mindfulness and simplicity, the design incorporates clever storage solutions to minimize clutter and promote a sense of calm. From tiered pull-outs and open shelving for towels to recessed medicine chests above the sinks, every element serves a purpose, contributing to the overall sense of harmony and balance.
But perhaps the most striking aspect of this bathroom is its seamless integration of natural elements with sleek, modern design. From the wood grain movement in the cabinetry to the irregularity of the pebble stone flooring, every detail is carefully curated to evoke a sense of connection to the natural world, fostering a deeper sense of relaxation and well-being.
In essence, this primary bathroom is more than just a functional space—it’s a sanctuary where our clients can escape the demands of everyday life and indulge in moments of self-care and rejuvenation. By embracing the principles of mindfulness and simplicity, we’ve created a space that not only meets practical needs but also nourishes the soul, proving that luxury can indeed be found in the simplest of forms. This space reminds us of the importance of carving out moments of tranquility and self-care, proving that luxury and relaxation CAN go hand in hand.
