Even with this view of the Atlantic, this master bath proved a dysfunctional space for two medical professionals. Designer Lynne Shore of R.I. Kitchen & Bath stepped in to create a peaceful haven for the busy couple.
On top of the lack of storage and lack of proper heating, the bathroom had dated lighting and finishes.
The core of the design – a Zen-like aesthetic – began with bamboo veneer cabinetry.
“She wanted something spa-like, and bamboo is very relaxing to her,” said Shore. “We built off of the bamboo in the design.”
Vinyl wallpaper, textured to imitate bamboo wood, covers the walls.
Complete with aromatherapy, body jets, a handheld and a rain showerhead, the steam shower has both a luxurious and natural feel with its imitation-bamboo tile.
Covered in glass, a shelf placed next to the tub accommodates the client’s more specific needs.
“Having the space so long and narrow was really challenging,” said Shore. “Trying to use every space to its nth degree was key to this project.”
