A modern refresh of a Victorian property

My Bespoke Room

Ingmar and his family found this gem of a property on a stunning London street amongst more beautiful Victorian properties. Despite having original period features at every turn, the house lacked the practicalities of modern family life and was in dire need of a refresh...enter Lucy, Head of Design here at My Bespoke Room.

Reawakened Beauty

JRP Design & Remodel

The main goal to reawaken the beauty of this outdated kitchen was to create more storage and make it a more functional space. This husband and wife love to host their large extended family of kids and grandkids. The JRP design team tweaked the floor plan by reducing the size of an unnecessarily large powder bath. Since storage was key this allowed us to turn a small pantry closet into a larger walk-in pantry. Keeping with the Mediterranean style of the house but adding a contemporary flair, the design features two-tone cabinets. Walnut island and base cabinets mixed with off white full height and uppers create a warm, welcoming environment. With the removal of the dated soffit, the cabinets were extended to the ceiling. This allowed for a second row of upper cabinets featuring a walnut interior and lighting for display. Choosing the right countertop and backsplash such as this marble-like quartz and arabesque tile is key to tying this whole look together. The new pantry layout features crisp off-white open shelving with a contrasting walnut base cabinet. The combined open shelving and specialty drawers offer greater storage while at the same time being visually appealing. The hood with its dark metal finish accented with antique brass is the focal point. It anchors the room above a new 60” Wolf range providing ample space to cook large family meals. The massive island features storage on all sides and seating on two for easy conversation making this kitchen the true hub of the home.

Гостевой санузел - небольшой. но функциональный. Небольшая гравюра на стене, винтажное зеркало и бра помогают избежать "сантехнического" вида помещения. Вместо подставки под туалетные принадлежности использован пластиковый столик. За щитом располагается разводка водопровода и обогреватель на время отключения горячей воды.

Bedstuy Brownstone

kimberly peck architect

photos by Pedro Marti For this project the client hired us to renovate the top unit of this two family brownstone located in the historic district of Bedstuy in Brooklyn, NY. The upper apartment of the house is a three story home of which the lower two floors were fully renovated. The Clients wanted to keep the historic charm and original detail of the home as well as the general historic layout. The main layout change was to move the kitchen from the top floor to what was previously a living room at the rear of the first floor, creating an open dining/kitchen area. The kitchen consists of a large island with a farmhouse sink and a wall of paneled white and gray cabinetry. The rear window in the kitchen was enlarged and two large French doors were installed which lead out to a new elevated ipe deck with a stair that leads down to the garden. A powder room on the parlor floor from a previous renovation was reduced in size to give extra square footage to the dining room, its main feature is a colorful butterfly wallpaper. On the second floor The existing bedrooms were maintained but the center of the floor was gutted to create an additional bathroom in a previous walk-in closet. This new bathroom is a large ensuite masterbath featuring a multicolored glass mosaic tile detail adjacent to a more classic subway tile. To make up for the lost closet space where the masterbath was installed we chose to install new French swinging doors with historic bubble glass beneath an arched entry to an alcove in the master bedroom thus creating a large walk-in closet while maintaining the light in the room.

Transitional Powder Room Design Ideas with a Wall-mount Toilet

Think of your powder room as a small bathroom that’s always on display. Likely to be frequented by guests or used as a second bathroom by family members, it should always look its best. Consisting of little more than a vanity, toilet and sink, you could be mistaken that transitional powder room designs are easy to execute, but the tight space can be tricky to get right. As you plan your bathroom renovation, consider the following.

How do I plan the layout of my powder room?

If you're building from scratch, an architect may be the best person to ask. There are three main objects to consider when planning the layout of your transitional powder room: the door, toilet and sink. Pocket, sliding or folding doors will give you more options for toilet and sink placement, while wall-mounted toilets will help save you a few inches of floor space, and make the room feel more spacious. To ensure ease of use, make sure the toilet has at least 38 centimetres of unobstructed space on either side, and 61 centimetres at the front. Powder rooms are primarily a place to use the toilet and quickly wash your hands, so unless you have the square meterage, you don’t need a full-blown vanity. Look for compact options, like a pedestal or wall-mounted sink instead.

What materials should I use in my powder room?

There’s not much space to work with when designing a transitional powder room, so keep your design fairly simple. Otherwise, too many different patterns and textures will quickly overwhelm the space. To avoid a disjointed design, opt for one statement piece or element, such as a fun splashback, benchtop or vanity, and choose subtle materials like stone, marble or granite for everything else. If you fear you haven’t created enough visual interest, fill the void with bathroom accessories such as hand towels and soap dispensers. High-quality bathroom fixtures – including everything from your toilet roll holder to faucet – with matching lines and style, will make a big difference in a such a small space, so if you have the budget, splurge a little!
