Two ways to bathe
An alcove tub-shower serves different visitors.
All rooms
ROOM 148 · Bathroom
A good bathroom for whoever is staying
Published
A detached Tudor Revival house, conceived for St. Louis suburbs, MO.
A guest brings a wash bag, a preferred way of doing things and very little knowledge of the cupboards. This bathroom leaves room for all three. The counter stays clear, fresh linen has a proper home and the bath can double as a shower. Plum-brown paneling gives the pale fittings an outline; the oak-grain cabinet keeps the room from feeling borrowed.

The tub-shower makes one room useful to visitors with different preferences. It also leaves the dry part simple: a cabinet, a mirror and somewhere for linen. The guest’s own wash bag is allowed to be the most noticeable object on the counter.
Plum-brown paneling gives white fittings an outline without darkening every surface. The oak-grain cabinet puts storage beneath the basin. A fine gold frame outlines the mirror without using any of the counter a guest needs.
WHY THE ROOM WORKS
A full-size bathing room works for visiting children and adults without looking temporary.

Exbrite oak-grain three-drawer bathroom vanity
All Sum Home
The rounded oak-grain cabinet gives the guest bathroom warmth at hand level. Three drawers leave the counter free for a visitor’s own things, and slender feet keep it from feeling fitted into every corner.

Noir 30 x 36 gold bathroom mirror
All Sum Home
A narrow gold frame picks up the cabinet hardware without adding a second material story. Its clear rectangular field gives guests a useful mirror rather than another decorative object.
US$309.99
Exbrite brushed nickel shower system
All Sum Home
A handset makes the existing tub useful for more than soaking. Its adjustable position accommodates different visitors, while the simple nickel finish sits quietly against the pale tiled surround.
