Taj Mahal quartzite, also on the vanity countertop, frames the shower entry; inside, Dolomite tile lines the walls. STYLING: LIMONATA CREATIVE
For a family in Severna Park, Maryland, designer Melissa McLay transformed a lackluster primary bathroom into a coastal-inspired retreat. First, she enlarged the space to improve function, then cloaked the room in vertical nickel-gap paneling for a nautical vibe. A dormer window alcove with a vaulted ceiling was added to give it a bright, airy feel, providing the perfect spot for a freestanding soaking tub. A double vanity addressed storage concerns and a spacious shower replaced a cramped corner model. The creation of a separate water closet improved the bathroom’s overall flow.
Luxury finishes include broken-joint Calacatta Gold mosaic tile and Taj Mahal quartzite. Heated towel bars and floors ensure a cozy start or end to the day.
