We love the warm toned , white oak , stained vanity in this space . Its fluted stone top detail makes for unexpected visual interest . The sleek design of the linen tower , painted the same as the walls , helps to minimize visual clutter in the space , allowing the blackened marble accent tile in the shower to really steal the show . - Gabriele Pizzale , www . pizzaledesigninc . com
We extended the shower to what used to be a toilet area and created a double shower with a long bench along the back wall . The toilet was positioned into a wet room with privacy door . We switched the drop in tub with a freestanding unit with a view of the garden when bathing . The color scheme is kept natural and organic while the design of the cabinetry is simple with minimal details to make the space feel calm and collected . - Negar Reihani , www . spaceharmony . ca
Located in the treetops of Lions Bay , it was important that this space gave a nod to the natural surroundings of the home . To make the compact space feel larger , we wrapped a contrasting wood detail from the vanity into the shower that pulls the eyes left to right . We also wrapped the floor tile up the wall to form a visually larger space . The position of the window was key to not only add natural lighting to the vanity but also capture the perfect view of passing boats . - Jamie Banfield , www . jamiebanfield . ca
Before the renovation , this home had a lot of real estate that was not used to its full potential . Previously , the shower was a small , dark space that felt more like a tight closet . By creating a better layout and selecting a glass shower surround to allow the light to travel through the room , the washroom became an inviting , spa-like space . - Tina Singh , www . lionsgatedesign . ca
