An Upper Marlboro homeowner was tired of her cramped primary bath, once dominated by an oversized, step-in Jacuzzi tub. Tapped to reimagine the space, designer Ann Gottlieb developed a roadmap to transform the layout and increase functionality while conjuring a luxurious, one-of-a-kind retreat.

The streamlined, open plan accommodates a soaking tub, a curbless shower, a vanity and a linen closet, plus a separate WC. Glazed Japanese tile drenches the spa-like space in a saturated blue; the lower walls feature a textural mix of eight varied motifs.

As Gottlieb reflects, “By thoughtfully reconfiguring the bathroom and integrating smart storage solutions, we created a space that feels open, indulgent and tailored.”

“The surprising use of vibrant, dark-blue tile adds mystery and depth.”
