Steam Room and Soaking Tub

In your steam room, combine a rain head with a hand-held shower head and install separate water jets on the side walls for the ultimate spalike experience. A deep soaking tub on the side is perfect for melting away your stress.

Multipurpose Cabinetry

Furniture pieces can be utilized as a vanity to create a unique space. Install electrical outlets in the drawers to house necessities, such as a blow dryer or toothbrush, to keep countertops simplistic and to avoid clutter.

Art Work

Enhance your escape with inspirational art. Create special niches to display your favorite pieces. Just make sure they’re done to scale and fit the tone of the space.

Special Finishes

Combine different finishes for subtle drama. Try a river rock shower floor with a stone vessel sink on the vanity or an entire wall of glass tile in the shower instead of the standard border pattern. Add glass tile details into the tile/stone floor pattern and frame out a window in the same material. Dare to be different, and make it your own.
