This is an example of a contemporary bathroom in New York with an undermount sink, an alcove shower and marble benchtops.

The clients desired a vintage ‘farmhouse-style’ bathroom. We enlarged the bathroom by removing the walls around the hallway closet. This added a few more feet to the very tight bathroom. We changed the alcove bath to a more spacious and elegant cast-iron soaker tub with classic bath and shower plumbing fixtures. At the time of this photograph, the white shower curtain had not been installed. We designed the traditional vanity and had our cabinet-maker create this beautiful storage unit and medicine cabinets out of solid wood. We sourced the small hexagon floor tile as well as the elegant Carrera Marble counter top. A calming palette of neutral greys with the bright cabinetry creates a cozy bathroom full of character and charm. Materials used: A traditional custom-made white wood double vanity, custom-made mirrored medicine cabinets, marble counter, top-mounted rectangular traditional sinks, 1 inch marble hexagon floor tile, dark gray 3 x 6 subway wall tiles, traditional claw-foot cast-iron free-standing tub and shower, classic chrome and frosted glass wall sconce, traditional chrome plumbing fixtures, pale grey Sherwin Williams paint.

A custom sink vanity and medicine cabinet updates the bath and adds much needed storage. Calacatta marble sink counter and hexagon mosaic floor were chosen to compliment the flat's Craftsman style. The client's opted to keep the existing deep 1920's tub and we added the subway tile, a new window and glass enclosure. The light fixtures and tub/shower plumbing fixtures, fittings and cabinet hardware are all in a polished nickel finish reminiscent of flats of this era.

This ensuite bathroom in the main bedroom of the modern extension is dominated by the large skylight. A wonderful bright space with large format tiles used on floor and walls.

The bathroom was completely gutted. It originally contained the laundry which was closed off and the access made from the landing. There is an overhead rain shower and also a standard shower head from the wall. Because the apartment was a penthouse we decided to install a skylight which you can see mirrored. This decision was one of the best made for the bathroom which was internal. Floor tiles 300x300 ceramic Urban Mocha, Laminex Espresso cabinets, Carrara marble top, drawers with full pull out function, glass tiles made from selection of three colours; chocolate (30%), taupe (35%) and cream (35%), overhead rain shower, standard wall mounted adjustable shower head, heated towel rail, underfloor heating

En suite Bathroom for the master bedroom. Using a off the shelf vanity cabinet to help keep cost down but still look stylish, elegant and custom. Harder to do but you just need to have the right contacts and look outside the box. Traditional wall sconces are great for lighting your face when shaving or putting on makeup. Also essential was another light positioned directly over the basin bounces light up onto your face. The vanity and the shaving cabinet provide plenty of new storage.
