A Blissfull and Beautiful Bath

Everyone knows that bathrooms are more than just a necessary room in a home. Given the amount of time we spend in them, it's no wonder they have made the jump from a no frills necessity to the spa-like rooms we pamper ourselves in each day. Bathrooms are one of the number one spaces people choose to update for a number of reasons, one being that they are small and relatively easy to do, the other is that people know it's an investment they can use and enjoy daily. Whether you prefer to shower or bathe, there are an abundance of options for your bathroom that can suit any design taste, color preference and budget.  For ideas on some gorgeous designer bathroom ideas, check out some of the bathrooms we have built in homes throughout the Vancouver metro and Fraser valley.

The contrast of the light green glass tile with the dark chocolate of the wood finish and oversize tile floor in this master bathroom give it a spa-like feel.  Three times the bliss comes in the form of multiple shower heads in the spacious glass enclosed shower.  From the giant rain shower head above, to the dual hand-helds, there isn't an inch of you that wouldn't be pampered by the caress of water in this bath. The crisp white soaking tub and white accessories help keep the space light and airy in this Vancouver home.

This bathroom is a show-stopper with the variation in the color palette from the painted ceiling, to the contrasting walls and the variation in the tile around the jetted soaking tub & shower that carries throughout the room. By contrasting the smaller mosaic-style tile with the oversize tile pieces on the floor, we created a stunning visual showcase with flowing organic lines to break the plane and symmetry of tile edges in order to highlight the bathing area.

A compact space can still feel bright and airy if you use the right materials. This Vancouver area bathroom stays clean, modern and bright with a combination of light colors on the walls, sinks and vanity to keep things light in comparison to the darker color of the marble tile and surround of the soaking tub. The polished flooring and bath tile, help to reflect light and keep the space feeling light and bright.

Traditional meets Modern with this metallic tile surrounding this corner tub. Simple and compact, the unusual tile adds the "wow factor" to the space as it gently reflects the earth tones of the room and softens the light. The corner placement takes advantage of the windows and natural light to give the bather a sense of being outdoors as they dream and soak.

Timeless and tasteful design comes into play with this glass shower that plays with soft neutral grays in the wall color and the tile. Simple and sophisticated marble tile line the floors and carry over into the shower area to pull the lines of the room together seamlessly. Classic mosaic tile in the shower base add enough contrast and elegance to ensure this gorgeous bathroom will never go out of style.
