Last week when we did the reveal for Cara Loren’s kitchen we designed for her, I was confident that the kitchen was my favorite space. But now as I am selecting the images for the bathroom reveal, it is making me have second thoughts! We are so excited to be revealing the most incredible basement bathroom you will ever see.

We put a LOT of thought into designing this bathroom. The original floorplan from the builder had the bathroom as an interior space, with no windows and so no natural light. Everything was closed, crowded, and dark. We proposed to relocate the bathroom so that it was next to one of the exterior walls so that it had access to a window, which then provided natural light. This also opened up the entire basement floorplan, and so everything felt larger and flowed more effortlessly.

Cara’s must-haves for this bathroom included having a freestanding tub, a makeup vanity, and a fun and edgy vibe that flowed seamlessly throughout the entire basement design. We proposed doing a mix of rough textures, heavy patterns, and glam metallics to bring her ideas to life. We did a quarter-sawn white oak on the cabinets with a custom stain, brought in the same heavy veined quartz for the countertop we did in the kitchen, a gorgeous soft-lined free-standing tub, a black metal grid shower door, and a heavy patterned cement tile on the floor to ground the entire design. My favorite part is that with the design becoming mostly black and white, we brought in color through a deep emerald rug that softened up the pattern in the floor, and tied it all together with dramatic velvet emerald drapes.

We had fun selecting the finishes for this bathroom through All Modern, and were pleasantly surprised by the wide selection of tile and plumbing fixtures they had. Everything they had was perfect, and at a fraction of the cost than through other sources.
