The bathroom in this charming 1930s home, last remodeled in the 1960s, was ready for a thoughtful transformation. Drawing inspiration from the home’s historic character, the homeowner envisioned a space that blends timeless elegance with modern functionality. Key priorities included a luxurious shower, upgraded plumbing fixtures, the addition of a skylight to welcome natural light, improved lighting solutions, and enhanced storage options. The design features unique, statement-making tiled floors and large tiled shower, stunning wallpaper that brings a touch of glamour, and carefully curated details to honor the home’s vintage charm while elevating the space for contemporary living.

Custom Tile Floor
The homeowner drew inspiration from a photograph of classic historic bathroom tile, envisioning a striking black-and-white border paired with a hexagonal tile for their new bathroom. To bring this vision to life we collaborated closely with the homeowner and tile installer, designing a custom pattern that is timeless. The bathroom’s irregular shape presented unique challenges, particularly in navigating the corners, but careful planning and creative problem-solving allowed us to maintain the consistency of the design throughout the space. The result is a beautifully tailored floor that honors the homeowner’s inspiration while enhancing the overall character of the room.
Elegant Tile Shower
Taking cues from early 20th-century design and continuing the black-and-white theme established by the floor, we crafted a larger, elegant shower featuring classic 3×6 white subway tiles accented with a black pencil tile liner. The client’s wish list included a deeper tub, a wall-hung sink, and timeless gold plumbing fixtures, which we thoughtfully integrated into the design. To enhance functionality, we incorporated a new recessed medicine cabinet, providing additional storage while maintaining a clean and cohesive aesthetic. The final look is a space that seamlessly blends vintage charm with modern practicality.
Vibrant Floral Wallpaper
This wallpaper is an absolute dream! To create a striking focal point in the newly remodeled bathroom, we paired a beadboard wainscot with bold trim and a vibrant floral wallpaper that adds a dramatic and lively touch. Every detail was thoughtfully considered. From matching the switch covers and bath accessories to coordinating with the elegant plumbing fixtures, all working together to create a cohesive and polished design. The result is a space that exudes charm, personality, and a perfect balance of historic and contemporary elements.
