1. Make a splash with an egg-shaped bath

Accentuate the silhouette of a modern egg-shaped bath by setting it against a contrasting backdrop, like this botanical print wallpaper. Treat the surface with a protective sealant.

3. Take an old meets new approach by Piet Boon

Classic marble bathroom ideas may be centuries old, but this versatile material can feel just as relevant in a contemporary setting. Carved from a solid piece of Carrara marble, the crisp, modern lines of Piet Boon’s freestanding bath for Cocoon is a case in point. Shown here on polished concrete flooring with a neutral backdrop, the designer’s signature clean lines truly celebrate Carrara’s gentle veining.

4. Pretty up with a colourful bathtub

Best bathroom design organized by plumbing manufacturer Salini S.R.L

I am completely in love with this beautiful bathroom design. What a great color use, beautiful tiles and such a warm atmosphere! This is a winning project of the competition for the best bathroom design, organized by plumbing manufacturer Salini S.R.L. (a project in Barcelona, Spain).

The main features of the room are a French casement window opening onto the balcony and a small stove. There is a free-standing bath on a marble podium in the center of the room. The walls, painted in a complex cherry color are complemented by the dark grey enameled MDF panels. The interior has a lot of copper parts - copper plumbing, a table. The frames of the mirror and the painting, window fittings, a cache pot and metallic elements of the lamp above the bathroom. There are handmade cement tiles with a geometric pattern on the floor. The color of the tiles repeats the color of the walls. The design is based on the contrast of matte and shiny surfaces. The dark matte finishing of the room becomes an excellent background for glossy white plumbing, which has the primary role to play in the room. Be Inspired ......

Interior Design: Modernized condo in New York by designer Jae Joo

Be Inspired by this beautiful project from New York based interior designer Jae Joo. Below you will find photos from a modernized condo in the Lower East Side, New York designed by Jae. I saw lots of inspiring elements in this condo, like this stunning black & white kitchen design with marble counter top and black back splash. I am completely in love with this kitchen! The bathroom, the bath tub, the black flooring of the bathroom, the living room, the black doors of steel, the wall with stone bricks, the outdoor room etc. 

GET TO KNOW JAE

Jae grew up studying classical music, which inspired her big move from Seoul to New York at a very young age. Even after pursuing her opera performance degree, she couldn’t ignore her love for fashion & design.

This path may have inspired her eclectic approach to design, which revolves around careful consideration of a client’s tastes and personality while incorporating and acknowledging the intrinsic architectural characteristics of a space. Her past projects range from full brownstone restorations to tackling expansive industrial lofts all over NYC. Jae’s overall goal in designing a home is to mix and match unique pieces, while seamlessly balancing the traditional, contemporary and eccentric into fun and functional living spaces.
