I imagine a man’s bath will use rich polished wood for furniture or decorative accessories, dark colors from gray to brown and beautifully figured or textured stone. I think of the spaces as clean and direct, chic and sophisticated, modern or quirky/cluttered in the tradition of an English men’s club.
