Bathrooms often become quiet sanctuaries—spaces where design can truly meet ritual. We approached both the bathrooms of Phoenix with distinct moods in mind, tailoring each to the personalities and preferences of the homeowners. While one leans into softness and light, the other embraces boldness and depth.
Together, they exemplify how materiality, colour, and lighting can transform compact spaces into thoughtful, elevated experiences.
Master Bathroom of Phoenix
The master bathroom of Phoenix spans 6’-11” by 4’-3” and follows a linear, well-zoned layout. As you walk in, the WC sits directly ahead, aligned with the entry. To the left, the basin counter stretches along the wall, offering a practical spot for everyday routines. The shower area occupies the right side, efficiently tucked behind a glass partition.
This arrangement ensures that each function—wash, toilet, and shower—has its own dedicated zone, making the most of the compact footprint while maintaining clarity and flow.
The Dry Area
The basin counter sits to the left as you enter the master bathroom. It is clad in a warm, wood-finish tile that adds an inviting, tactile warmth to the space. We designed it with wide drawers and brass-trimmed handles, balancing practical storage with visual charm. A deep olive green vessel basin anchors the counter, paired with a sleek brushed brass faucet that subtly reflects the ambient light. A full-wall mirror framed in wood expands the visual depth of the narrow space, while a pair of softly gleaming glass pendant lights float overhead, casting a warm, diffused glow.
Just alongside, the WC zone maintains continuity in finish and tone. The muted green tile backdrop wraps around the space, and a bronze handheld health faucet sits discreetly beside the toilet, blending into the surrounding palette. Small, deliberate details—like the brass toilet paper holder and the slender towel rod—complete the ensemble with understated elegance.
The Shower Area
The shower area in the master bathroom of Phoenix exudes a warm, earthy calm. We clad the entire enclosure in rustic matte tiles with tonal variation and a subtle botanical imprint—a quiet nod to nature that plays well with the mood lighting.
On one wall, a recessed niche framed in a wood finish tile adds both visual texture and functionality. Its glass shelves keep the bath essentials elevated and organized, while a spotlight gently highlights a potted plant, turning this utilitarian feature into a styled vignette.
We chose a sleek brass-finish hand shower and mixer set to blend with the rest of the bathroom’s metal accents. Glass doors enclose the shower, making the space feel visually larger while maintaining its own dedicated zone. The result is a nook that feels cocooned, tactile, and considered—designed for everyday rituals but styled like a retreat.
Common / Boy’s Bathroom of Phoenix
The layout of the boy’s bathroom of Phoenix follows a clean, efficient line-up that makes the most of its modest footprint. As you enter, the basin counter sits straight ahead. We placed a compact yet stylish vanity with a square basin and a brass-finished tap, maximising functionality without encroaching on space. To the right of this we have the WC, followed by the shower area at the extreme end.
This parallel planning keeps the movement linear and intuitive. Natural light filters in from the high window beside the shower, softening the textures and adding depth. Despite its size, the layout feels comfortable, practical, and designed with ease of use in mind.
The Dry Area
The basin and WC area of the common bathroom blends warm textures with refined finishes to create a space that feels both functional and stylish. We paired a dark green marble counter with a soft grey base cabinet, anchoring the corner with understated elegance. The cream-toned stone basin—with its smooth, organic curves—adds a sculptural touch, complemented by a sleek brass mixer.
A wall-mounted mirror framed in wood expands the visual space, reflecting light from the bold linear pendant above. The surrounding wall tiles, with their soft grey tone and rhythmic arabesque pattern, add a quiet intricacy, balancing the solidity of the countertop. Just beside the counter, the WC sits tucked in neatly, maintaining both visual flow and easy access in this streamlined layout. A subtle planter and textured hand towel infuse a dash of personality without crowding the space.
The Shower Area
Tucked away neatly to the right of the WC, the shower zone is compact yet refined. We opted for a concealed brass shower fitting that sits seamlessly against the backdrop of high-gloss grey wall tiles. The soft curves of the shower spout and mixer plate echo the elegance of the basin area, tying the design together.
A slim ledge in polished dark green marble runs along the length of the wall. It doubles as both a subtle design feature and a practical surface for bath essentials. The wall cladding continues in a soothing grey beneath the ledge. It creates a visual continuity that prevents the space from feeling too enclosed. Despite its modest size, the shower area feels curated. Every detail, from tile alignment to fixture finish, contribute to a cohesive, elevated whole.
Each of the bathrooms of Phoenix may differ in tone and treatment, but they all share a common thread—intentional design. Whether it’s the textured green tiles that cocoon the master bath in warmth or the clean geometry of the common bathroom, each space has been designed to feel as good as it looks. We’ve layered materials, finishes, and function to craft calm, clutter-free zones that uplift the everyday.
