10 Brilliant Solutions

Bringing light and western skies into the bath with big windows,
textured materials and natural palettes

Aspen ► concept: Linda Bedell aimed to create interiors that were “compatible with the organic nature of the architecture” for a Colorado house. In the “light and sunny” master bath, this meant working with natural materials and a calming palette. materials: Tumbled Botticino stone was used for the floor and the tub surround. Fabric for the draperies is from Rose Tarlow-Melrose House.
	◄ Montana concept: The master bath of a western Montana house, by architect Candace Miller and designer Teresa Scotti, utilizes “colors and textures from nature to create a sense of warmth in an expansive space,” says Scotti. A wall of windows lets in natural light, and short draperies offer just enough privacy. materials: Walls of aged skip-planed fir add dimension. The Savoy tub is from Waterworks, and the sink and tub faucets, from Newport Brass, have a weathered-copper finish.
Tucson ► concept: “The central focus of the room is a vanity ­cabinet and a horizontal mirror that appear to float over the soft tumbled-marble floor,” says Teresa Rosano of Ibarra Rosano Design Architects. “The vanity’s combined palette of maple plywood and blue-glass tile wed the warm wood closet on the left and the cool glass ­bathing areas on the right.” A terrace wall simplifies the view. materials: The tub, from Americh’s Zuma collection, is ­supported by a maple pedestal, and the blue tile is from Bisazza.
