Modern Bathroom Renovation Ideas

GILDED CHANDELIER

A sculpture by Louise Bourgeois overlooks a bath in French architect Jacques Grange's Paris apartment. The chandelier is 19th-century; the bathtub, sink, and faucet are by the marble flooring and L'Epi d'Or relies on a design that is Byzantine.

THREE PRONG CHANDELIER

In an English country house, the guest bathroom has a tub and fittings reclaimed from another component of the manor; the drapes are of a James Hare silk, and the carpet is by Ryalux.

COPPER CHANDELIER

For a San Francisco family, designer Ken Fulk restored a faded 19th-century landmark, changing it into a multifunctional 21st-century house without losing some of its period drama. The marble bathtub in the spouse's bathroom is by Urban Archaeology, the wallcovering is hand-painted, and the floor is by Fox Marble, frameless glass railing.

SIMPLE SCONCES

Simple lighting offers striking contrast to the active Finnish wallpaper in the 1950s adorning the walls of this Manhattan flat powder room, decorated by Katie Ridder. Hanging above a Waterworks sink that is simple yet stylish, a vintage FontanaArte mirror echoes the wall colour.

Conventional SCONCES

The master bath's tub, sink, fixtures, and black walnut flooring are all by Waterworks at the Upstate New York house. The sconces are by Vaughan, the kilim is from West Elm, and the artworks were purchased in Paris and London.

CRYSTAL SCONCES AND SHALLOW CEILING LIGHT

The master bathroom sinks by Urban Archaeology have Dornbracht fittings in this glamorous West Village loft. The seat cushion is covered in a Holland & Sherry terry cloth, sconces and the ceiling light are 1960s Italian, and the floor is granite.
