This master bathroom project in Loveland challenges that idea by pointing the way to smart home tech and traditional design working together to create a beautiful, practical, and special space. To pull the design back toward the formal look of an old-world traditional space, Kohler combined oil-rubbed bronze and brushed brass fixtures and accents to add glamour and refinement. By getting the eyes used to a mix of finishes, the white or gray control panels for the various tech systems seem less jarring or out of place. The original goals for this project centered around the homeowner's desire for a larger shower along with more space in the commode room.
To find this space (without entirely rearranging the bathroom's floorplan), removed the existing tub and its surrounding deck and decorative features. The bathroom's vanity, taking up what's left of the wall space, is the perfect blend of traditional appeal and modern aesthetics.
Here, Kohler's finish mixture shines with the greatest as the two metal colors are joined by the warm glow of the lighting. This custom solution allows the smallest detail to be accounted for, including shelving that's perfectly measured for pairs of shoes, and his and her locking drawers for jewelry and valuables.
With the daily stresses surrounding them, the homeowners now have a calming space that can suit their needs in the biggest, smallest, and smartest ways.
