CHIC BATHROOM
Designer Negar Reihani transformed this bathroom
that lacked style and storage by mixing modern
and traditional elements.
Design and Layout
The space was not large so it was
important to plan, design and select
beautiful yet functional finishes. The first
thing we did was remove the glass blocks.
They were unattractive, but they did
provide light and privacy in the space. We
solved this problem by creating floor-to-
ceiling storage and fronting the doors with
elegant mirrors. We designed a beautiful
custom cabinet and vanity. We chose a
marble wall tile with a beautiful soft gray
grain. The marble was also used in the
shower, which complements the beautiful
glass doors. The shower features matching
marble floor tiles in a chevron pattern to
add interest and drama. The light wood
cabinetry is modern and balances perfectly
with the marble. This combination of
elements lightens the feel of the room and
keeps it contemporary and timeless. All of
the fixtures are a polished stainless steel
which adds luxury and femininity to the
design.
Designer Advice
Stay away from common finishes,
fixtures, vanities and storage cabinets.
Think about what your space requires and
how you can accommodate that need in
an unconventional way to create a unique
space.

We saved by keeping the location of the
plumbing fixtures where they were and
splurged on custom millwork. I’m a big
fan of custom millwork; it makes a huge
difference in the functionality and look of a
space.
