A New Tradition

Once austere and unwelcoming, this Victoria bathroom got the luxe spa treatment from designer Ines Hanl.

 

 

1 Light and Dark Honey-marbled onyx on the counter complements a white and cream room, while the chocolate marble floors-heated, of course-contrast with the silvery grey-and-white marble tile work in the shower stall. European fixtures play with traditional and modern sophistication, such as the classic Victoria and Albert slipper tub paired with a sleek freestanding tub filler.

2 Light Show Decorative sconces and pot lights are featured throughout, including in the vanity cabinet and shower stall. Sconces around the vanity mirrors provide even illumination, important for shaving or applying makeup. An exquisite floral-shaped glass and crystal ceiling light complements the treetop view out the windows.

3 Maximum Potential Custom maple vanity cabinets by Island Custom Cabinetry include ingenious curved side cupboards that keep the design feeling organic while maximizing storage. The rich wood stain, mirror frames and moulding of the ensuite complement the woodwork seen in the adjoining master bedroom.

4 Right Angle Custom built to tuck under the sloped ceiling of the second-floor room, a vanity and adjoining cabinet line one length of wall, offering enough drawer space to keep amenities out of view. The shower, too, ducks under the roof-but with enough space away from the slope to allow for unencumbered ease of motion (and tall people).
