Tile is an integral part of the design.
Rather than using tumbled-marble tiles as accents, dress a bath in wall-to-wall tile, much like the classic baths found in venerable European hotels. Mixing and matching tiles in a neutral color scheme is the secret to adding interest without overwhelming a space where virtually every surface is covered with tile.
Let unique fixtures and striking hardware become architectural highlights.
A bronze basin and matching sink and shower fixtures are standouts against the cream and white of tumbled marble. Because the sink actually sits on the counter, its round shape brings intriguing contrast to the angular tiles, making it a focal point in the room.
Install a high-powered steam shower system and ceiling-mounted showerhead to pamper users.
What better way to welcome guests than to outfit their accommodations with luxurious amenities? Installing a steam shower system and a showerhead that rains cooling water on demand when steam jets are operating is hardly standard in a master bathroom.
