Spa-Inspired Primary Bath – Highland Park, IL

Designer: Diana Burton

The Setup

Just like the kitchen remodel downstairs, we weren’t really retooling the overall layout for this master bathroom. The existing floor plan was a mindful match for the owners’ needs.  The idea was to update the space and take it to the next level – we’re talking tranquility, luxury and a nook for making that first cup of the day! 

Design objectives:

  • Keep existing layout
  • Create a serene, spa-like feel
  • Use a monochromatic, soothing palette with lots of texture

The Remodel

The challenge was in selecting materials in a monochromatic palette that would all work in harmony. 

Design solutions:

  • Light Shou Sugi Ban look tile on floor creates a quiet backdrop and textural interest
  • Dimensional tile in shower adds drama
  • Stone herringbone offers contrast to other lighter materials

The Renewed Space

The clients love their fresh, neutral bath and feel confident the finishes will endure over time.
