Elegant Petroleum Bathroom

This bathroom was only used for guests, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t deserve an upgrade! (Especially since the homeowners have been very hesitant to let guests use this bathroom.) So when the other bathroom broke down, we decided to remodel them both at the same time!

The homeowners had a vision of this bathroom being elegant and soft so we used beautiful, modern materials.

We decided on a color scheme of white and gray, which is the opposite color scheme of the bathroom across the hall, that the family uses on a daily basis, which is gray and white. We wanted both bathrooms to have a coherent design, so we kept the same colors with different accent tiles.

For the floor, we picked large 12”x24” gray tiles laid lengthwise to make the room look bigger and create a continuous flow. We gutted the old beige bathtub and replaced it with a bright, new white tub.
We also tiled all the way to the ceiling using white tiles. In this bathroom, I wanted the soap niche to be the focal point for the room, which is why it’s a gorgeous petroleum-look mosaic.

We found the perfect soft and elegant tiles, introducing lovely blues and purples that look gorgeous with every ray of light.

With this bathroom, we were able to reuse the linen cabinet, but we purchased a new vanity using the same one across the hall, only in white. We also added new light fixtures and faucets, and the same rain shower panel to make this bathroom stunning.

The guests love this bathroom, and no one is embarrassed to show it off!
