So I’ve been researching design options for the master bath of a client, a fellow “spa style” aficionado.  And today I share with you a few cool ways we’ve found to make the “spa” happen…..

…..All whites – a simple white tile on the floor, wrapping up onto the counter adjacent, and picked up in the walls, drapes and porcelain sinks.  Accented with a simple plank sink counter/shelves…..

…..All whites in a more “traditional” vein, with a more functional wood counter with storage.  Add luxury with an upholstered chair and a dreamy white parchment chandelier…..

…..Or if you like a traditional travertine stone as your base, install it “plank style” and wrap it up the sides of the tub and wall wainscot thus…..This one’s counters combine the luxury feel of freestanding furniture, without sacrificing all of the storage…..

…..You can use a traditional material, such as this carrera marble, but in an unexpected way, as above:  Very clean and modern, wrapping almost all surfaces, alternating the plank with the large slabs for interest.  Love the little chrome stool perched in the corner….

…..And last but not least, concrete tile!  For an urban zen appeal.  Love the counterbalance with the stone and rich woods.  Also love the functional tall cabinet flanking the slab sink counter (aesthetic meets practicality at last!  That would be spa in all ways!….. )
