PRIMARY BATHROOM MOOD BOARD

The primary bathroom is the first room I am designing because strategically we need this bathroom in order to move into the house so it has to be done first. I wanted the bathroom to feel light and open. We spend a lot of time in this bathroom and I didn't want the design to overwhelm the senses, but instead provide a sense of calm like a spa. Here is what I am planning for this bathroom.

PRIMARY BATHROOM MOOD BOARD

It is a very large space with the longest wall stretching 174 inches and a standard sized 72" double vanity would be swallowed up by this space. Andy and I have always liked the idea of having our own independent vanities so we are not running into each other in the mornings while we get ready for our days. This is also great because a large custom vanity is not in our budget and we wanted to update the original footprint to give the room a more custom feel.

I chose the vanities first and will replace the hardware with unique black drawer pulls which is a trick I use to give the vanities a custom look. I chose a black metal cabinet to place in the middle of the vanities to create interest and provide more storage. It will also be a good opportunity to style the bathroom with bath accessories on the open shelving in the cabinet.

Carrara marble floors are classic and choosing a larger honeycomb patterned floor gives the space a more modern feel. Adding elements of gold, like the mirrors and faucets layered among the black and white, elevates the space.

For lighting, I chose a gold cage pendant light to hang over the bathtub and 4 simple black sconces to hang on either side of the mirrors.

I picked a black and white freestanding tub because we have to flip-flop the shower and the tub placement in the room in order to create a larger shower space. This tub fits the smaller footprint and maintained the modern look of the space.

Finally, I have a very large wall next to the stacked storage cabinet (which is the only thing we kept in the room), and I want to add a piece of art that will create a statement in the room and add warmth and color. That wall acts as a focal point of the room as it faces the entry to the bathroom and this almost 5 foot tall piece of art will be perfect! It pulls out the cool tones in the floors and helps to tie the design together.

I am looking forward to my first morning in this bathroom. It is something special to look forward to in the near future! Check back to see updates on progress on this bathroom very soon!

Fondly,

Brianna
