The Perfect Bath

APRIL 8, 2015

This is a stellar example of a white on white bath. A double vanity with Henry lavatory fittings in unlaquered brass (note the shelf for storage) and an Empire tub with an exposed bath mixer with hand shower. There is a lot of activity in this bath, all completely coordinated.

While some might only accept the latest and greatest appliances paired with the shiniest marble, others crave a sense of nostalgia with grandma’s hand-me-down appliances. High-performance countertops are also mentioned, as they’ve been seen replacing marble countertops due to their durability and stain-resistance.

The recent renovation of our Washington, DC showroom has given us multiple opportunities to think about the bath in new and sometimes bold ways. And the vanity’s white gray linear marble countertop, called Zephyr, is a sharp contrast to the intricacy of the wall design.

Here are some of the most common natural materials to use in a traditional kitchen: Granite, marble, soapstone, or quartz countertops. Having one or more windows is also a must to bathe the room in natural light and provide a view of the exterior. We have served the MD, DC, and VA areas for over 30 years.

Taking a luxurious bath is another easy way to feel like you’ve stepped into a spa at the Four Seasons. However, if baths aren’t your thing or your bathroom doesn’t have a tub, you can add a body spray to your shower for hydrotherapy and a massage-like feel. We are loving this marble and brushed brass mosaic.

Last week I featured a very complex white bath installed in the Waterworks Washington, DC showroom. By comparison, this deceptively simple white bath is an exercise in restraint with its’ own level of architectural detail. A small piece of art on the window sill along with 2 large candles make the bathing space inviting.

Throughout historic cities in Europe, their streets are paved in cobblestones, the statues are carved in marble, and their monuments are clad in limestone. Or, go for a vein-cut marble instead of a slate with an uneven cleft. In the DC-metro area, we’re no stranger to extreme outdoor elements, like humid summers and cold winters.
