For this Los Angeles new-build home, designer Christopher Grubb of Beverly Hills, Calif.-based Arch-Interiors Design was asked for a common but challenging look – contemporary but warm.
In the master bath, the request for his-and-hers vanities came up against a lack of space.
A freestanding tub placed perpendicularly in the space helps separate the two vanities, which were chosen from Grubb’s custom-made vanity line.
White-gloss cabinets are surrounded by dark wood elements, creating a contrasting warmth and coolness.
This oval tub helps break up the straight lines and squares in the room, which is further contemporized by the 12-in. by 24-in. taupe porcelain tile floors.
Keeping with the linear scheme of the floors and the rest of the space, Grubb incorporated a mosaic tile into the shower that complements the colors of the floors.
Charged with the same aesthetic for the kitchen, Grubb used a mixture of white-gloss upper cabinets and gray wood grain-finished lower cabinets.
Grubb made the island table height to create more of a cozy furniture piece for the space, complete with waterfall edges and unique pendants.
