For this 1930s-dated home, designer Susan Klimala of the Kitchen Studio of Glen Ellyn faced the challenge of redesigning two bathrooms with very different purposes.
The more formal powder room needed to also function as a guest bath, complete with a tub, shower and additional storage.
Honed crema marfil shower tiles combine with whimsical wallpaper for a vintage charm.
“The design for the vanity was really out of necessity,” said Klimala. “I also knew that if anybody would go for bold floral wallpaper and a big sculptural vessel sink, it would be this client.”
For another bathroom in the home, two identical twin girls needed storage and a spot to get ready.
“We wanted to keep it light and feminine but not too ‘little girly,’” said Klimala. “Yes, the walls are pink, but the blue tiles and drum light keep it feeling a bit more mature.”
A small alcove to the right of the shower holds a makeup area with open shelving and a small blue bench to match the shower tiles.
Ring pulls add back in a touch of vintage detail.
