When building their modern Tudor house on a scenic property in Minnetrista, Minnesota, this professional couple with five young kids wanted a private retreat-like primary bathroom with modern yet timeless style. Working with designer Marcelle Timonen, they decided on a white, black, brass and wood palette that offers a clean look with touches of warmth.
Custom white oak vanities with brushed-brass hardware and reeded details provide stylish storage. A freestanding soaking tub sits below large windows that frame views of treetops and a lake. An arched opening leads to a peaceful curbless shower and mimics arched vanity mirrors. Patterned black-and-white porcelain tile flooring adds playful personality and coordinates with other black-and-white details to lend a sense of drama.
