Bathroom Design Spotlight #2

Whalen Custom Homes created this master bathroom with a modern rustic style that is close to the countryside. Modern rustic is an interiors style that reflects a desire for a simpler, more authentic way of life. Celebrating natural materials, sensual textures, and organic beauty, this is a look that’s relaxed, welcoming and unpretentious. The warm palette of neutral, earthy tones and the sensual textures fit perfectly with the wood cabinetry and make the space welcoming and cozy. With the primary fittings driven by functional demands and being largely constrained in finish, the onus of aesthetic individuality shifts to the canvas of colors and textures that come together to define this space. A richly layered look adds volume and can be created with the simplest or the most opulent of materials. This rustic bathroom is something that creates a relaxing atmosphere very easily, it’s a cozy space where you can enjoy a bath with lots of foam and feel closer to nature.

Cabinets
We partnered with W.W. Wood Products to provide this kitchen with the highest quality cabinetry in the business. Shiloh Cabinetry is American-made and features all wood construction: the sides, backs, tops, bottoms and shelves are made with layered plywood for strength and rigidity. The doors, drawers, face frames and even corner braces are made from solid hardwood. Shiloh’s beautiful rustic alder finishes feature stains that enhance the character and grain of the wood species. Every color is coated with a durable, catalyzed conversion varnish to protect the finish and create a soft, polished brilliance.

Vanity Tops
Taking its cue from the linear configuration of buildings in the village of Ellastone, Ella from Cambria’s Luxury Series, features a lattice of lines and intersections embedded in a marbled dove-gray background. Cambria is much harder than granite making it more durable and less likely to scratch, chip, or stain for years of worry-free service.

Flooring
Luxurious Silk reveals the true beauty of ancient, vein-cut travertine in a modern-day glazed porcelain. Free-flowing swaths of color in three ranges draw the eye and fire the design imagination with bold new large-scale planks. Digital print technology reproduces the striations and mineral deposits found in natural travertine in this multi-sized, intricately colored line that is complemented with mosaic and decorative trim options.
