photos by Pedro Marti The owner’s of this apartment had been living in this large working artist’s loft in Tribeca since the 70’s when they occupied the vacated space that had previously been a factory warehouse. Since then the space had been adapted for the husband and wife, both artists, to house their studios as well as living quarters for their growing family. The private areas were previously separated from the studio with a series of custom partition walls. Now that their children had grown and left home they were interested in making some changes. The major change was to take over spaces that were the children’s bedrooms and incorporate them in a new larger open living/kitchen space. The previously enclosed kitchen was enlarged creating a long eat-in counter at the now opened wall that had divided off the living room. The kitchen cabinetry capitalizes on the full height of the space with extra storage at the tops for seldom used items. The overall industrial feel of the loft emphasized by the exposed electrical and plumbing that run below the concrete ceilings was supplemented by a grid of new ceiling fans and industrial spotlights. Antique bubble glass, vintage refrigerator hinges and latches were chosen to accent simple shaker panels on the new kitchen cabinetry, including on the integrated appliances. A unique red industrial wheel faucet was selected to go with the integral black granite farm sink. The white subway tile that pre-existed in the kitchen was continued throughout the enlarged area, previously terminating 5 feet off the ground, it was expanded in a contrasting herringbone pattern to the full 12 foot height of the ceilings. This same tile motif was also used within the updated bathroom on top of a concrete-like porcelain floor tile. The bathroom also features a large white porcelain laundry sink with industrial fittings and a vintage stainless steel medicine display cabinet. Similar vintage stainless steel cabinets are also used in the studio spaces for storage. And finally black iron plumbing pipe and fittings were used in the newly outfitted closets to create hanging storage and shelving to complement the overall industrial feel. pedro marti

Spiegelschrank mit Regal

hansen innenarchitektur

Im Bad der 4-köpfigen Familie sollte Platz für Handtücher und Schrankraum für die Toilettenartikel aller Familienmitglieder geschaffen werden. Erreicht wurde das mit einer Kombination aus Regal und Spiegelschrank, die über die gesamte Breite der Vorwand geht. Das Eichenholz des Regals macht das Bad wohnlicher und nimmt das Material des angrenzenden Bodens im Flur auf. Ein umlaufender Rahmen verbindet die beiden Teile miteinander. Für eine gleichmäßige Beleuchtung am Waschbecken sorgen mattierte Streifen in den Spiegeln mit dahinterliegender LED-Beleuchtung. Im gleichen Schrank sind außerdem Steckdosen für die elektrischen Zahnbürsten der Familie installiert. Eine weitere LED-Leuchte ist in die Deckplatte eingelassen und schafft atmosphärisches, indirektes Licht.

This small space needed a broad visual footprint to feel open. everything was raised off the floor.; wall hung toilet, and cabinetry, even a floating seat in the shower. Mix of materials, glass front vanity, integrated glass counter top, stone tile and porcelain tiles. All give tit a modern sleek look.

Rock Crystal Bath

Nancy Finneson | DeMane Design

This inviting bath is ingenious with its creative floor plan and use of materials. The owners requested that this space be functional but also distinctive and artistic. They didn’t want plain Jane. The remodel started with moving some walls and adding a skylight. Prior it was without windows and had poor ventilation. The skylight lets in natural light and fresh air. It operates with a remote, when it rains, it closes automatically with its solar powered sensor. Since the space is small and they needed a full bathroom, making the room feel large was an important part of the design layout. To achieve a broad visual footprint for the small space and open feel many pieces were raised off the floor. To start a wall hung vanity was installed which looks like its floating. The vanity has glass laminated panels and doors. Fabric was laminated in the glass for a one-of-kind surface. The countertop and sink are molded from one piece of glass. A high arc faucet was used to enhance the sleek look of the vanity. Above sconces that look like rock crystals are on either side of a recessed medicine cabinet with a large mirror. All these features increase the open feel of the bathroom. Keeping with the plan a wall hung toilet was used. The new toilet also includes a washlet with an array of automatic features that are fun and functional such as a night light, auto flush and more. The floor is always toasty warm with in-floor heating that even reaching into the shower. Currently, a simple console table has been placed with artwork above it. Later a wall hung cabinet will be installed for some extra storage. The shower is generous in size and comfort. An enjoyable feature is that a folding bench was include in the plan. The seat can be up or down when needed with ease. It also has a hand shower and its own set of controls conveniently close at hand to use while sitting. The bench is made of teak (warm to sit on, and easy care). A convenient niche with shelves can accommodate numerous items. The glass door is wide for easy access with a curbless entry and an infinity drain was used so the floor seamlessly blends with the rest of this space. All the finishes used are distinctive. Zebrano Marble, a very striking stone with rivers of veining, accents the vanity and a wall in the shower. The floor tile is a porcelain tile that mimics the look of leather, with a very tactile look and feel. The other tile used has a unique geometric pattern that compliments the other materials exquisitely. With thoughtful design and planning this space feels open, and uniquely personal to the homeowners.

Mid-sized Bathroom Design Ideas with Glass-front Cabinets

If you’re looking for bathroom ideas, look no further than Houzz. Our image gallery brings you a large range of photos with inspiration for your viewing pleasure, and not only that - you can also save your ideas in ideabooks and find the professional that has done the job. When planning your bathroom design or update, start by collecting images of designs you like and take it from there. Whether you are designing your bathroom from scratch, redesigning, updating or simply decorating, you’ll be sure to find ideas for every possible scenario. And once you're ready, you can find the architect and/or builder to get the job done. But let’s start with the bathroom design basics.

How to Plan Your Bathroom Design

A good bathroom design brings together beauty and functionality. It reflects your personality in its style, colours, fittings and fixtures, but serves your needs to a tee both when you’re getting ready for work in the morning and when you want to wind down in your bathtub after a long day.

1 Collect Bathroom Ideas to Decide on Your Layout

Firstly, consider your space. Is it rectangular or are you working with a long, narrow room? This will determine how many wet walls you can accommodate, and if a bathtub can fit. For example, in a narrow room a freestanding bathtub may not work, and a one-wall layout that lines up shower, toilet and vanity on the same wall will make sense in most cases. (It’s also the most budget-friendly option in terms of plumbing). Maybe separate rooms for toilet and shower make sense? Maybe you want to work with a window above a bathtub or in the shower. You may live in an old house where you can keep some of the original character of the home, or you may be working with a small apartment space. All these considerations are vital in deciding on which layout will work best for you. Have a look at some popular ideas to get started.

2 Consider How You Use Your Bathroom

Once you’ve gathered some inspiration, have a think about who is using the room, and how they will be using it. A single guy needs a lot less storage than a teenage girl, and a family bathroom may need to consider elderly family members. Making your bathroom wheelchair accessible could save you thousands down the line. You may also want to accommodate a washer and dryer in the bathroom, since it’s where clothes are taken off frequently. Also consider safety and cleaning. Ensure no-one will slip and hurt themselves, and consider that many little tiles will make for many little nooks for grime to accumulate, whereas big surfaces like a sink that is integrated with the vanity counter, or a big mirror will make wiping down the surface much easier than having sinks sitting on top or an intricately designed mirror.

3 Your Style Determines The Colours and Fixtures You Choose

When looking at bathroom photos on Houzz, you’ll probably lean towards a certain style pretty soon. Are you into rustic charm, modern beach house style or a mix of styles? This will determine if you opt for whites, greys and blues or if you go for dark cabinets, black floor tiles or bronze fixtures. Specifically, you want to consider:

Tiling

Are you going to tile floors and walls? There’s so many possibilities, from your choice of tile to how they are laid. If you’re budget conscious, you may want to consider a wallpaper or paint for certain areas. A simple grey tile can make room for other elements to shine, while mosaics or a subway tile can make a great feature wall.

Lighting

Lighting doesn’t only look pretty, but can impact your bathroom experience significantly. The mirror is a special area you want to light well, so that you don’t miss any hair when shaving or can apply that perfect line to your eye.

Furniture & Fixtures

Pay attention to how colours of cabinets and floor can impact a room. You may want to consider a wooden floor for something different and pair it with simple white vanity and cabinets, or you may want to go for the steampunk look with bronze tubes and black walls. Consider what type of shower, bathtub (if any), toilet, sink and vanity you want. Maybe you have space for a generous spa with walk-in shower, or maybe you want a freestanding bath to be the feature of the room.
