As for the layout, the footprint of the room stayed the same, with the plumbing for the tub, shower and sink remaining in place. The challenge was to make the room feel lighter, airier, taller and more luxe.

Figuring out where the tile would begin and end was important. Rather than trying to make the bump-out disappear, Thomas embraced it, wrapping the tiles around it from floor to ceiling. “By carrying the tile all the way around the bump-out, we highlighted it,” she says. The tile has a handmade look, and its lovely tone variation gives it a watery appearance that creates a sense of calm in the space.
