Hawaiian Retreat

Remodeling Idea:
“Because you have to go through the bath to get to the master bedroom, we decided to make it grand,” says the designer of the space, Linnea Brooks, of Brooks & Brooks Inc.
  
Design Solution:
Mix textures and implement items reminiscent of Hawaii’s Island culture. Bamboo and natural woods paired with whites and warm tropical colors help bring the outside in.

Remodeling Idea:
 “To keep with the design style, a pony wall was incorporated to separate the vanity and toilet and to support the floating cabinetry,” says designer Rick Cowan, CKD, of Archipelago Hawaii, Refined Island Designs. Floor tile runs wall to wall, making the space feel wider.
  
Design Solution:
Clean, architectural lines and bold contrast bring simple sophistication to your bathroom.

Remodeling Idea:
Archipelago Hawaii, Refined Island Designs revamped this space. “Coral stone floor tiles and wainscoting [from floor to waist-height] combined with ... warm, golden-toned paint and a handmade canoe paddle towel bar blends the old with the new,” says Cowan.
  
Design Solution:
Bali design is all about mimicking surroundings and, at times, blending with them. Implement earth tones and combine natural textures to bring this natural look to life.
