Monochromatic Master

For this bathroom remodel, Little Black Dresser Interiors added monochromatic tile with black-and-white Zellige subway tile. On one wall, the tile lays in a unique striped pattern to create a statement. This same wall houses functional storage with custom floating drawers, towel storage and a full-length mirror. The tile carries to the other vanity wall, which was converted from a single to a double vanity, and includes stone vessel sinks, faucets and an oversized arched mirror. The back wall has a wood-like floor-to-ceiling tile with a brass rainfall shower head. Brass-and-opal-glass light fixtures and the black ceiling accentuate the tile, making a statement on every surface.

One challenge the project team faced was creating a curbless entry shower. The slope had to be perfect for the tile to flow correctly to the drain. The team also had challenges converting from a single to a double vanity with faucets. They chose champagne-brass fixtures, but because they were working with existing plumbing, many extra steps were needed to allow the new fixtures to function in the remodeled space. The design team thus worked with their contractor to lay the tile and install the faucets exactly right to achieve a beautiful, functional design. Ultimately, this required shifting the faucets and took several iterations to finalize, but it was time well spent.
