Before And After: A Gorgeous Zen Bathroom Remodel

From Margaret on January 28th, 2011 in Bathroom Remodel

We love when sustainability meets beauty in home renovations. And this Japanese-inspired bathroom remodel in by Weston Miles Architects is a prime example.

These before photos show a pleasant enough bathroom with bright color and functional traditional cabinetry, though a small sink space, not-so eco-friendly materials, and dim lighting.

This after photo shows an incredible remodel that makes use of traditional materials in a modern aesthetic. The focal point is this Japanese soaking tub that the client wanted, and the room grew around that.

I ran a design boutique in Beverly Hills before designing and consulting about children’s spaces privately. I also consult and write often about efficient living and green design. In this web-wide world of design, I offer virtual consulting and design packages, and love to help create successful spaces. I believe that a deliberate environment increases the happiness of families and individuals—deliberate in style and aesthetics as well as functionality. The oldest of six children, and a parent of two, I have also personally seen how good design matters. In the hustle of daily life, sometimes the greatest parental tool is a calm atmosphere in which to unwind and engage with each other.
