Processes
  • Bathroom tile installation
    Run greige tile across the walls and floor so the clay vanity reads as a small fixed accent.
    Entry needed
  • Colored bathroom vanity installation
    Use a wall-mounted clay-tone vanity below the basin to keep the fixed color area low.
    Entry needed
  • Sanitary fixture installation
    Place white basin and toilet fixtures to create a bright reference plane between the greige tile and clay vanity.
    Entry needed
  • Bathroom faucet and shower installation
    Match the vanity and shower fixtures in chrome so only slim metallic lines remain.
    Entry needed
  • Glass shower partition installation
    Divide the vanity and shower areas with clear glass without blocking the compact bathroom view.
    Entry needed
  • Mirror cabinet and indirect lighting installation
    Add a mirror cabinet and lower indirect lighting above the vanity to reduce the heaviness of the greige tile.
