At-Home Refresh 

MA Peterson Designbuild can craft it all, including the most serene primary bathroom suites you’ve ever seen. More and more homeowners are striving to bring the spa straight home, and the MA Peterson team has advice on exactly how to do it: “A spa-like bathroom environment can provide the perfect getaway in your home. You can create your relaxing space by making it feel open and airy, creating calming sensory experiences, and designing for privacy, comfortability, and versatility. Natural light, a tub area with shelving for candles or accessories, a steam shower with additional features, in-floor heat, built-in speakers, and a soothing color palette in the room can create the perfect environment for your restful haven.”

Crisp & Clean, White & Serene

Although all-white spaces are arguably losing traction in favor of more colorful selections, the undeniable cleanliness of a crisp white design makes it an ever-popular choice for bathrooms—especially when it includes a luxe, larger-than-life floor tile like this stunning Aülik Design Group bathroom on Robinson Bay. Whether as a vanity top, floor, or backsplash, we’ll argue white still makes a striking statement.

Worth the Splurge 

There are plenty of design elements—from material selections to décor and furnishings—worth coughing up cash for. Your bathroom plumbing (think faucets, shower heads, controls, and knobs) can, and should, be on that list, too. Choose aged brass or matte black to stay extra in the know.

Vanishing Act

Long gone are the days of round, traditional shower drains. Instead, linear drains are gaining momentum. In fact, they can be so sleek and discreet that it’s oftentimes challenging to distinguish where the water could possibly go. A sure staple in 2022 shower design and innovation, these drains come in multiple grate styles—including wire, slotted, circle, square, and more.

Radiant Reflections

Large, flat mirrors flush against the wall above your vanity get the job done—don’t get us wrong. But there are options beyond what we know, love, and have grown accustomed to. This Rejuvenation pivot mirror (left) adds depth and dimension to your space, while interior designer Bria Hammel’s Brooke & Lou Olive Mirror (far left) glistens with gold accents—providing both shimmery color and radiance. Brooke & Lou’s Shield Mirror (middle) adds a touch of storybook-like whimsy to a beautiful bath. “Every design decision we make comes down to the smallest of details,” says Hammel. “These pieces each carry an elegant, yet simplistic element and complete any space in a home. Timeless details are always on trend.”
