A North Carolina couple with two sons knew they disliked most elements in their primary en suite bathroom. They just didn’t know what to do about them. Looking to maximize storage, increase function, improve privacy and infuse new style into the space, they turned to designer Misty Molloy for help. She questioned the couple extensively to tease out how they would prefer to use the space and what colors and details would reflect their personalities.
Molloy removed a cluttered and inefficient linen closet and a bulky built-in tub to create a more streamlined layout with lots of breathing room. A new 12-foot custom vanity spans one side of the room and includes two storage towers. Blue paint adds a punch of color that complements the bright and lively botanical wallpaper wrapping the room. A new low-curb shower has a pony wall that creates some privacy. Blue polished wall tiles in the shower coordinate with the vanity and wallpaper. And a black-bottom cast-iron claw-foot tub and black-and-white basketweave floor tiles add bold vintage touches.

The cushions and artwork, in shades of blue, green and orange, bring dynamic color to the space, adding personality.
Sustainability is always a key consideration in Llogarajah’s projects. “Several existing elements were carefully integrated into the new design,” she says. Along with all the kitchen appliances and the sink, her design also incorporated the owner’s existing dining table and chairs to minimize waste.
“The design is tailored to seamlessly incorporate [all] these pieces, meaning the reused items feel intentional, as though they were always part of the overall scheme,” she says.
