When it came time to design the bathrooms and laundry spaces for the House Beautiful Whole Home, I seized it as an opportunity to push creativity further — to create moments that felt wildly different from one another, but still connected through intention, craft, and color. Every room has its own story, its own energy, and its own palette of materials.
Let’s walk through each space.
The Laundry Room: Unexpected, Funky, and Actually Fun
Laundry spaces tend to be afterthoughts — not here.
This laundry room is fun, funky, and intentionally unexpected, centered around a checker-style tile mix of greens, whites, and deep red. It’s a space that makes chores feel a little less… chore-like.
Function That Works Hard
- Two Samsung all-in-one washer/dryer units
- A deep utility sink
- A dog shower for muddy paws that features a seamless Infinity Drain Premium Tile-In Center Drain
- Wrapped entirely in colorful, funky Clay Imports tile
It’s beautiful, it’s durable, and it’s built for real life.
The Primary Bath: Quiet Luxury in Stone & Serenity
For the primary bath, the goal was simple: calm, serene, and elegant. We wrapped the room in warm neutrals and layered in refined materials like the honed quartzite integrated sink, polished nickel fixtures, and a custom White Oak vanity.
Key Materials
- Floor and wall tile by Clay Imports
- Polished nickel Brizo plumbing
- Infinity Drain Disco-Rectangle as the shower’s focal detail
- Soft roman shades from Fabricut
It’s quiet luxury without shouting.
The Green Tile Guest Bath: Bold Geometry Meets Modern Craft
This guest bath doubles as the main powder room for visitors, so it needed personality. The deep green Moroccan-inspired wall tile pairs perfectly with a bold geometric floor — a graphic moment that feels both fresh and timeless.
Details to Know
- Clay Imports star and cross tile paired with a funky, patterned tile on both floor and walls
- Matte black Brizo plumbing
- Four Hands mirror for an elevated architectural moment
- Infinity Drain Premium Tile-In Drain in the shower
It’s the perfect example of how pattern can bring life to small spaces.
The Loft Retreat Bath (Urban Treehouse Energy)
This bathroom sits among the treetops, so I wanted it to feel airy and grounded at the same time. Soft greens, a grid-pattern floor, and warm brass accents give it a warm, modern feel. The custom steam shower brings the ultimate spa feel to this cozy retreat spot.
Special Features
- Clay Imports textured tile throughout
- Steam shower finished with an Infinity Drain Adhesion drain
- Gorgeous sconces from Visual Comfort
It’s a space that feels connected to nature, with just the right amount of polish.
The Upstairs Guest Bathroom: Elevated Whimsy with a Neutral Finish
This bathroom is wrapped in a soft, cloudlike mural that shifts with the light. Featuring a custom floor-to-ceiling shower curtain and an extra deep soaking tub from Americh, this is a spot for ease and sophistication for any visitor.
Special Features
- Sanderson fabric for the drapery
- Warm gold Brizo plumbing
- Clay Imports tile in the shower and on the floor
- A soft, dreamy palette that feels quietly playful
It’s whimsy — but for grown-ups.
