A warm wood finish anchors the palette of the custom bath and is paired with crisp whites and off whites, satin-nickel finishes and quartzite countertops to create a soothing aesthetic for the designer and her husband. The removal of a large tub and deck allowed for a classic freestanding, jetted tub. To hide the tub motor, designer Angelica Henry of Angelica Henry Design had a custom cabinet made, which also provides the perfect resting spot for a wineglass while enjoying a bath.
This custom bathroom benefits from attention to detail. To create the accent wall that extends behind the shower, the designer had square tiles cut into a custom pattern. Each tile piece was installed individually.
Henry and her husband were able to design the exact closet they wanted and needed with pull-down rods for long-term storage, hidden hampers, in-cabinet lighting and plenty of visibility for shoes and purses.
The biggest change to this bathroom-closet renovation was incorporating an awkward hallway that led to the closet and contained the toilet room into the closet square footage. The toilet moved forward into previously wasted space – the opening is now across from one of the vanities – and the closet is now accessed through an opening in the wall. These worthwhile changes necessitated X-rays of the concrete before moving plumbing and a visit from an engineer to discuss a surprise shear wall.
The designer repurposed the vanities in the old bathroom to other baths in the house.
