Steal This Look: A Luxurious Bath in Shades of Pale

When a project includes on its roster an architect, interior designer, art consultant, and lighting expert, you know it has to be a special home. And when the client says it’s the main bathroom (and bedroom) that’s her favorite part of the project, you know that bath must be beyond.

“The sun floods into the white marble bathroom and…into the bedroom in the mornings—it’s such a beautiful piece of design and feels so serene,” says owner Reema Stanbury, of the space. “I love it.”

We do, too—so much so that we’ve tracked down how to replicate the look. Read on. (And to see the entire masterpiece, go to A Tale of Two Styles: Proper Victorian on the Outside, Modern Zen on the Inside.)

The vanity is custom from Lusso Stone. Above: Floor-to-ceiling blush curtains soften the look. The vintage rattan stool is by Isamu Kenmochi, sourced from Béton Brut. Above: The walls are painted in a Farrow & Ball limewash. Above: All the fixtures, powder-coated oyster white, are by Studio Ore. The 1950s Italian brass mirror is from Béton Brut.
