Part of a wider drive for space and light , this reinvented master suite extends the bedroom feel into the bathroom
These pages : This whole-house renovation included creating a brand new master suite on the second floor . The freestanding bath is positioned facing the bedroom , offering views of the garden beyond , while an opaque green glass sliding screen provides privacy between the toilet and bathroom .
When a bathroom and bedroom are in close proximity , the smallest touches can bring an easy domestic and aesthetic flow between them .
LLI Design with design director Linda Levene at the helm recently undertook the redesign of a four-level townhouse . As part of this , the owners wanted a master bathroom with wow factor .
“ To achieve this , the second level was transformed from separate rooms into a master suite , with an open bathroom and freestanding bath .
“ The bathroom sits easily next to the bedroom , with porcelain wall tiles complementing the Fornasetti ‘ Clouds ’ wallpaper tonally .”
Also in terms of colour , the new bathroom ’ s patterned floor tiles act as a counterpoint to the pale wide plank flooring in the bedroom .
“ As the suite is open to the bedroom it was important to bring a more bedroom-like feel into the bathroom . This link was achieved both by selecting floor tiles in the format of a rug pattern and the addition of two bronze mirrors over the vanity unit ,” says Levene . “ An LED strip under the vanity , additional wall lights and in-floor uplights complete the soft , ambient look .”
The diffuse lighting and open-plan design makes the bathroom appears bigger than it is . search | save | share at
