ARDEN POINT
Our client came to us with a hope to create a “Japandi” look and feel that included warm, natural finishes, and clean European lines in her Master bathroom and bedroom area. The first step we took was to create the new layout, including removing the glass block window, and removing the niche from the Master bedroom that jutted into the bathtub area, and squaring off the vanity wall (which had an intrusive angled wall) - which now provided a large flat wall in both the bedroom and bathroom, and allowed for a larger shower area, and the ability to move the new window location, and have that window center over the new freestanding tub. We opted to add in an obscured glass Trapezoid window to provide some interest and geometric lines in the newly squared off bathroom.
After scouring the city looking for the perfect stone material to create our planned unique vanity tops, that would have a large 5” Mitered face and sides, and integrated sloping sinks - we finally found this absolutely stunning piece of Venaria Reale Quartzite, that included a gorgeous mix of tones, including: lavenders, mauves, dark greens, and a myriad of taupes, and warms browns. We used this stone to then move forward in selecting the floor & wall tile materials, paint colors, fixture finishes and styles, cabinet materials, and all of the new light fixtures.
