Where: Richmond Heights
Skip the Tub
With a limited footprint, the design team was strategic in their choices. They decided to forego a tub and add a two-person shower instead. “It’s nice when a client makes space for how they’re going to use a room,” Heeter says.
Best of Both Worlds
The homeowners vacation in Tulum, Mexico, in a beachside bungalow with a laidback vibe. They infused a similar style into their bathroom—without losing sight of luxurious extras such as heated floors, cabinets from Robern, and plumbing fixtures from Bellis by Kallista.
Modern and Warm
Touches of gray, including a Caesarstone countertop, are paired with teak shelves and knotty alder cabinets for a modern yet rustic look, says Heeter.
Flooring Facts
The porcelain tile on the vanity wall and on the shower walls is from Italgraniti. Each plank features a different finish: polished, textured, or matte. “This layered look is really beautiful,” Heeter says. “As soon as I showed it to the couple, they were all in.”
Statement Sconces
The Ian K. Fowler Bistro sconces lean industrial, says Heeter, but the owners weren’t afraid to take the risk. “They make a statement,” she says. A skylight in the shower bathes the space in light.
