After: Eliminating the bulky tub surround dramatically opened up the 150-square-foot space, creating welcome breathing room around a new freestanding tub. The husband’s one request was a TV, and a Samsung Frame TV now hides in plain sight on the wall at the end of the tub. A faceted brass-and-opaque-glass pendant draws the eye upward, its generous scale well-suited to the room’s high ceiling. For privacy, a motorized woven wood shade with white accents and a linear pattern opens and closes via remote control.
Large-format 12-by-24-inch porcelain tiles on the floor feature subtle marble-like veining, while the wall tile behind the tub has a handmade zellige look that picks up tones from the floor. Together, the materials enhance the bathroom’s European feel. An intricate Turkish rug adds another layer of warmth and pattern, filling the generous space between the tub and the new double vanity.

Bathroom at a Glance
Who lives here: A couple
Location: Denver
Size: 200 square feet (19 square meters)
Designer: Rachel Ogburn of Rowe Interior Design
Before: The existing double vanity was in good shape, but the homeowners wanted to replace the oval sinks and brown granite countertop. “We repainted the cabinetry when we did the rest of the home in 2024,” Ogburn says. “It used to be yellow oak cabinets and we did it in Accessible Beige (by Sherwin-Williams). We also updated the hardware then.”
A large framed mirror made the rectangular vanity feel boxy. “It also didn’t utilize the very tall ceilings they had in there,” Ogburn says. “The mirror made it feel squatty.” Deep aubergine walls paired with dated finishes added visual weight, while oversize beige floor tiles meant to mimic stone fell flat. “They almost permanently looked muddy,” Ogburn says. “Also, the installation was just square-on-square.”
The walk-in shower to the right of the vanity continued the beige-on-beige look with more tile and outdated fixtures.
