The option to downsize was not an option for the empty nesters who have resided in this home for over twenty-five years. Situated in a prestigious neighbourhood in Montreal, the sprawling residence has been the venue for many social events, dinner parties and family gatherings. With grandchildren on the way, the homeowners elected to embark on a renovation that included several rooms in the home. The objective was to inject a modern aesthetic into a new kitchen, library, master bedroom and en suite, while respecting the classic architectural details throughout the rest of the home.

The kitchen had been relocated to the garage in a previous renovation, which presented several design challenges. Low concrete ceilings, ventilation ducts and cinderblock walls required diligence in achieving a plan that would create the illusion of height and light. Sombre cabinetry from the previous kitchen gave way to a brighter palette of white and bleached butternut. White surface-mounted monopoints add architectural interest and juxtapose a sculptural suspension with an industrial influence, over the dining table. Concealed LED strips add ambient lighting for evenings.

Creating a highly efficient space for cooking and an atmosphere conducive to entertaining both large and intimate gatherings were the primary design criteria for the kitchen. The floor to ceiling matte white cabinetry conceal appliances and an abundance of storage, while providing contrast to the warm hues of the blonde wood. Handle free cabinetry maintains a minimal design while an integrated ash butcher block in the island allows two people to simultaneously prep meals.

Floating wood picture rails create a mini-gallery that enable the homeowners, avid art collectors, to easily display and interchange different pieces of art at various times.

Walls were relocated on the second-floor plan and reconfigured to include a library, spacious closets, and a luxurious en suite of dramatic proportions. The custom teak library leading into the master bedroom, stores a prolific collection of drawings and art books. To eliminate the feeling of separate rooms, all door openings were raised to full height and maximum widths.

The minimal design of the master bedroom marries old and new, and is anchored by white oak engineered floors. A shortage of closet space had previously forced the homeowners to use other bedroom closets for storage. Reclaiming a third of the library, created a spacious walk-in closet for her, and a generous wall of closets for him in the master bedroom.

Large white oak panels dominate the bedroom and wrap around the partition wall into the master en suite. Consistent materials create a visual flow and unify the two rooms as a single volume. The en suite is easily accessed from two entries, with full-height pocket doors providing privacy as needed.

Spacious yet intimate, the master en suite features materials selected for their respective organic compositions, which enhance an inviting atmosphere. Oversized porcelain tiles maintain classic characteristics in a modern format. The veining of each tile was scrutinized in advance of the installation to ensure both a sense of movement and a seamless flow between the walls and floors. Radiant floors transition seamlessly into the European shower and towards a concealed linear drain.

20 Awesome Brick Walls in the Bathroom

I WILL’t inform you enough how much i am excited about brick walls in the interiors. As a kid, we have been advised of the tale about the Three Little Pigs where one in every of these brothers (the last one) made a home of bricks that saved him and his brothers from the big dangerous wolf that went to the first homes and destroyed them. So, with that, we all know how much strong and neat brick walls (or houses) are. Below, you can be seeing a fantastic checklist that showcases a list of bathrooms that experience brick walls – either as accent walls or their primary walls. This list presentations a pair of bogs with the traditional purple brick walls whilst a few have white brick partitions. you should go beforehand and take a look at this list and pick a favourite – red or white!

Jane Kim Design First prevent is your conventional purple brick walled rest room from Jane Kim Layout. The furnishings in right here glance in point of fact vintage and really attention-grabbing. the choice of toilet furnishings in here's slightly one thing, even the tile used to enrich the red bricks is just so fancy.

RKM Internal Design This part of the bathroom i locate attention-grabbing. i'm hoping that whoever uses the tub wouldn't hit the ceiling component to the brick arch. As you'll be able to see, the distinction at the pink bricks and the white bathtub makes each of these things stand out – particularly the white bath.

Stephen Fletcher Architects I Like the immaculate steel bath in this rest room. It’s loopy unique and i’d love to in reality have one when I CAN in fact find the money for it. the usual white tub in an ordinary rectangle or the ones adorable oval ones are pretty, however i believe that having a stainless bath would be attention-grabbing and cool altogether.

Break Out From Settee Here Is one contemporary layout of a tub which in truth seems to be in point of fact fancy. I don’t produce other photos of this house but i think throughout from the bathtub is the bed – pretty cool, right? i actually dream of having a bath with regards to my bed even separately from the bathroom. I Love this.

Studio 10 Internal Layout The contrast of the crimson brick wall and that of the white wall is rather cool. It makes me suppose which one is actually the accent wall and which one is the primary wall that wanted accenting. With the uncovered ceiling and the matching wooden flooring, i believe this toilet is considered one of the prettiest in this listing.

Wolveridge Architects This Bathroom is something – with white walls and ceiling and the fundamental white rest room fixtures, the use of pink bricks for the aspect of the bathtub and the floor is one awesome move. It creates a loft feel and on the same time, it makes it seem like other puts. It appears nice in this picture, but I WILL’t say the same after we see it in person.

Tyrrell and Laing Global, Inc. The Primary merchandise or the focus of this toilet is actually the bathtub. Why now not? It without a doubt deserves an entire lot of consideration because it looks actually lovely and comfortable. As so much because the white portions of this toilet glance divine, i believe the extra brick wall on the upper part of the wall and the brown granite as the countertop and backsplash makes an entire lot of difference in right here.

Hudson Place Realty While I first saw this photograph I were given confused with the decorations behind the tub; toilets don’t regularly have this so much decorations and never rest room similar stuff, if you realize that I mean. I’m undecided if this was once staged or whatnot, but i think that those cabinets undoubtedly made this space fascinating.

Flux Interiors The Primary time I came across this bathroom photograph, it used to be hard for me to really in finding the best size that i needed and whilst I did, i was in reality satisfied. I Really Like spaces that showcase vintage decorations or Americana that makes it truly appealing. I imply, i know no longer all of the visitors who would talk over with this house might see how beautiful this Pinocchio portrait is, however i believe it really seems to be unique.

Contramark Contramark certain made sure that this bathroom could seems awesome and ideal. The distinction at the prints, textures and colors in this rest room is quite interesting and very fascinating. i've never noticed such a lot drama (the good sort) in a bathroom. I mean, i do know there are fancier and perhaps extra stunning toilets however this one appears just like it is where it belongs.

Peter Landers Photography As so much brick partitions can be great for an entire room, having bits of it in the house (in the bathroom, for that topic) creates a extra funky aura. A Few areas do not really want that funky contact however for others who want to deliver a touch of a loft in their houses, toilets like this one ought to do the trick.

Carl Leroy-Smith I particularly like how a lot better bath tubs appears to be like beside a brick wall. The distinction of colour makes it stand out and just about makes it extra appealing than it already is. It makes the tub glance love it’s actually inviting and i guess the home homeowners made this phase sure in order that bathing can be as enjoyable as it have to be – all of the time.

Court Atkins Workforce I WILL’t say so much about this loo as a result of this is already an outstanding space to even speak about it. The use of white, picket, granite and bricks make this bathroom different and cool. i like the colour via the door and above it – it’s captivating.

John Cannon Homes When I saw this image, i used to be as to what number of a few of the pictures in this listing has brick partitions by way of the lavatory space as much as the ceiling part? I didn’t really test what number of – however however, I’m happy that now we have this one on the list for reference. Making arches fabricated from brick is common however adding it via the bathroom is an even thing; at least i think so.

Otero Signature Properties I’m afraid that you actually have to actually zoom on this photograph for you to give you the option to see the white brick wall however don’t worry because it sure is one neat thought. They introduced the brick wall at the back of the mirrors and the sconces. i believe that this bathroom is one beautiful area to chill and take a bath.

Inner Intuitions, Inc. You Can mainly see the outdoors from the window by means of the shower, and why not if you happen to have a big outside that the neighbor can’t see, proper? i like how nice this transform is, aside from that it has to many corners that children aren’t supposed to be right here; the corners of this toilet might be dangerous – unless of course that is child-proofed.

Tonic Layout Featured this photograph as soon as ahead of and i suppose this one wishes this publicity as it is just so neat. the combination of the pink brick, the black glossy tiles and grey diagonally positioned ground tiles make this space somewhat masculine; particularly the reality that this has a black bath too. however, i feel this area is still beautiful and sophisticated.

Tom Hurt Structure I wish that you'll see the other aspect of this loo; across from the reflect – there you'll see the beautiful tub. even when the wall on that aspect is not so pretty, generally, i believe that this toilet has slightly of an Asian touch to it and it’s moderately catchy and neat.

Hansgrohe UNITED STATES this is but a small element of all of the toilet but since the brick is noticed in this attitude, i assumed that we must proportion this with you guys. The contrast of the red bricks that serves because the backsplash and the white walls, beams, loo and flooring makes the bricks in reality wanted.

Catlin Stothers Design Remaining but surely now not the least is a minimalist lavatory area. i like how uncooked this space in fact appears to be like with out a lot paint on the wall and the concept that it kind of feels no longer completed or what but still looking truly superior. i really like how the incomplete aura makes it unique from other spaces. This record won't appear such a lot for a few, however i feel that seeing bathrooms just like the ones in this checklist makes for great concepts and concept for designs you'll use in the long run, whether or not it’s professionally or personally. If you have the chance despite the fact that, be at liberty to take a look at the dining ares with brick partitions and propose us as to what we will be able to do again next time!

There’s a Small Bathroom Design Revolution and You’ll Love These Rule-breaking Trends

We hope you like the products we recommend. Just so you are aware, Freshome may collect a share of sales from the links on this page. 

Tired of your small, dark and uninspiring bathroom? Are you ready to finally give it an overhaul? Well, there’s no better time to give your small bathroom a fresh look. Small bathroom design is finally stepping out of the cookie-cutter bathtub, sink cabinet, mirror and toilet combination.

The latest small bathroom design ideas are fresh and revolutionary, rethinking what we all expect a bathroom design to look like. Wall-mounted toilets and sinks defy gravity. Cabinet doors are gone. Bold texture and patterns take over a small bathroom space. Get ready to break some rules and open your mind to what your small bathroom should look like with the following nine concepts.

1. You don’t need as much bathroom storage as you think

A minimalist bathroom in France features floating cabinetry. Image: For House

The first small bathroom design idea for 2017 is a big one: you really don’t need more storage, just a more minimalist attitude! Think about this one for a minute. Those large vanities with the deep cabinet space under the sink are really an inefficient use of space. Things get lost at the back of the cabinet. And the scale takes up so much real estate in your small bathroom design that your bathroom ends up looking smaller. So how do you solve the issue?

Get rid of clutter and unnecessary items. How many towels, cosmetics and hotel toiletries do you really need?

Replace the clunky bathroom vanity with a floating sink or cabinet or narrow open shelves. You’ll be less tempted to clutter your bathroom when the stuff is on display. And you’ll open a lot more visual space in your bathroom. Like this bathroom image:

Here are some of our favorite floating vanities:

1. | 2. | 3.

2. Instead of adding storage, add function

Once you clear clutter and replace the oversized bathroom vanity with something more minimalist, think of all the useful things you can do with the space. Like adding an all-in-one washer and dryer. Or creating a vanity space.

Here are more ideas on how to add more utility to your small bathroom:

3. Small bathrooms mean you can splurge on finishes

Brushed chrome accents and a combination of tile featuring inexpensive white subway tiles and expensive glass and marble chevron tiles create a visually interesting small bathroom. Image: Robert Frank Interiors

Some of the most expensive items in a bathroom design are the fixtures, tile and finishes. Since you’re working with a smaller space, you need less. It’s time to break out of thinking that a small bathroom isn’t worth the money. It’s time to splurge on making your small bathroom design look like a million bucks! Some ways to add more luxury on a little less budget include:

Choosing quality accent lighting fixtures

Tiling a stripe (or the upper half of your bathroom) in a more expensive tile or marble

Adding a towel warmer that doubles as a towel rack

Swapping your toilet for a new floating style

Upgrading to a glass shower door, which is the next small bathroom design idea

Here are some of our favorite luxurious updates for your small bathroom:

1.| 2. | 3. | 4. | 5. | 6.

4. Add a seamless glass shower door to your small bathroom

Here’s a small bathroom design tip that may not sit well with traditionalists: tear out the bathtub and add a modern walk-in shower surrounded by seamless glass. It’s a great way to save tons of space in your small bathroom. A seamless glass door may be more expensive than a shower curtain, but will definitely be more durable. Not to mention, it will open up the space and add value to your home.

Not ready to give up on the bathtub? You can still add a seamless glass shower or tub enclosure.

5. Go crazy with texture and pattern in your small bathroom

Most designers tell you that dark colors or busy patterns are not a good idea in a small space. Think again. Strong patterns and textures add depth and play to a space, creating the illusion of more size and life.

Here are some of our favorite tile patterns and textures for your small bathroom:

1.| 2. | 3. | 4.

6. Wall-mount everything and throw away the doors

The small bathroom design keyword for 2017 and beyond is: floating. Float everything, including the toilet, from your walls. It’s a great way to make cleaning easier, when you can access the floor below. Not to mention the space looks bigger, because our eye tends to judge space by analyzing the floor area. You also maximize valuable wall space, which is often left bare. And let’s be honest, it looks pretty fresh and cool!

7. Cubbies aren’t only for toddlers

Bathroom cubby ideas that add storage without taking up space. Images: Color Theory, Catlin Stothers Design, Roca.

It’s time to tear up the walls (or add new ones) for cubbies. The inset wall cubby is an ingenious way to add integrated storage to a small bathroom without sacrificing space. It’s also known as an alcove, niche or recessed niche.

Behind bathroom walls, between the studs, is just enough of a gap to create a useful cubby. And nowadays, you can even buy a DIY tile-ready niche at Lowe’s.

Don’t want to tear up the walls? Find new ways to add cubbies to your small bathroom, by adding a shelf, wall mounting a floating cubby shelf or choosing a cabinet with open shelves to store extra items, like the bathroom below.

8. Mirrors instead of walls

Mirrors do an incredible job at creating the illusion of more space. Want to add more space to your small bathroom design? Then add more mirrors, like the inspiration images above.

Check out our favorite bathroom mirrors:

9. Add more black to your white

Images: Optimise Design, SF Design Build, Marcelle Guilbeau

An all-white bathroom does feel brighter and lighter, but it can look a little cold or lack the depth your eye registers as space. Adding black to your bathroom, in the form of black walls or a black-and-white tile design or a black ceiling adds the “POW!” your small bathroom is begging for.

Which one of these new small bathroom design trends are you ready to try?

Some of the most expensive items in a bathroom design are the fixtures, tile and finishes. Since you’re working with a smaller space, you need less. It’s time to break out of thinking that a small bathroom isn’t worth the money. It’s time to splurge on making your small bathroom design look like a million bucks! Some ways to add more luxury on a little less budget include:

Choosing quality accent lighting fixtures

Tiling a stripe (or the upper half of your bathroom) in a more expensive tile or marble

Adding a towel warmer that doubles as a towel rack

Swapping your toilet for a new floating style

Upgrading to a glass shower door, which is the next small bathroom design idea

Here are some of our favorite luxurious updates for your small bathroom:

1.| 2. | 3. | 4. | 5. | 6.

4. Add a seamless glass shower door to your small bathroom

Here’s a small bathroom design tip that may not sit well with traditionalists: tear out the bathtub and add a modern walk-in shower surrounded by seamless glass. It’s a great way to save tons of space in your small bathroom. A seamless glass door may be more expensive than a shower curtain, but will definitely be more durable. Not to mention, it will open up the space and add value to your home.

Not ready to give up on the bathtub? You can still add a seamless glass shower or tub enclosure.

5. Go crazy with texture and pattern in your small bathroom

Most designers tell you that dark colors or busy patterns are not a good idea in a small space. Think again. Strong patterns and textures add depth and play to a space, creating the illusion of more size and life.

Here are some of our favorite tile patterns and textures for your small bathroom:

1.| 2. | 3. | 4.

6. Wall-mount everything and throw away the doors

The small bathroom design keyword for 2017 and beyond is: floating. Float everything, including the toilet, from your walls. It’s a great way to make cleaning easier, when you can access the floor below. Not to mention the space looks bigger, because our eye tends to judge space by analyzing the floor area. You also maximize valuable wall space, which is often left bare. And let’s be honest, it looks pretty fresh and cool!

7. Cubbies aren’t only for toddlers

It’s time to tear up the walls (or add new ones) for cubbies. The inset wall cubby is an ingenious way to add integrated storage to a small bathroom without sacrificing space. It’s also known as an alcove, niche or recessed niche.

Behind bathroom walls, between the studs, is just enough of a gap to create a useful cubby. And nowadays, you can even buy a DIY tile-ready niche at Lowe’s.

Don’t want to tear up the walls? Find new ways to add cubbies to your small bathroom, by adding a shelf, wall mounting a floating cubby shelf or choosing a cabinet with open shelves to store extra items, like the bathroom below.

8. Mirrors instead of walls

Mirrors do an incredible job at creating the illusion of more space. Want to add more space to your small bathroom design? Then add more mirrors, like the inspiration images above.

9. Add more black to your white

An all-white bathroom does feel brighter and lighter, but it can look a little cold or lack the depth your eye registers as space. Adding black to your bathroom, in the form of black walls or a black-and-white tile design or a black ceiling adds the “POW!” your small bathroom is begging for.

Located in the heart of Montreal’s Plateau-Mont-Royal borough, facing Lafontaine Park, this turn-of-the-20th-century duplex recently underwent a major interior transformation. The project, realized by MXMA Architecture and Design, was inspired by the park’s abundant foliage. Photography by Adrien Williams

As we enter the home, at the second floor level, we discover a vast wooded area that gradually unfolds as you look into to the inner reaches of the space, resembling the character of a branch. Composed of solid planks of white oak, this branch is arched and deformed, redefining the sense of being at home in the city. Wood surfaces extend continuously into the space, metamorphosing into floors, walls, ceilings, handrails and even built-in furniture.

The organization of the living spaces revolves around the architectural form of the ceiling. Continuity of wooden surfaces becomes the organizing principle of the home’s more public areas, such as the entrance, the living room, the dining room and the kitchen. It creates an experience of movement that leads to the third floor, where the more private areas, including three children’s bedrooms and the master suite, are located.

The natural, vibrant ambiance of the Casa is enhanced by the irregular surfaces of the ceilings. Their angular volumes adjust to the conceal the new structure, which includes an imposing steel beam (33 feet long) that supports the third floor. They also cover all the ventilation ducts. Finally, the ceiling melts comfortably into the structure of the existing staircase and then unfolds to become a railing on the third floor, like a flower opening up towards the sunlight, which enters the space through a large skylight.

The woodwork gives the home a homogeneous, natural and lively feeling. Technically, it demonstrates how wood can be used to provide flexible and complex solutions with a high-quality finish. Surfaces, materials and light resonate together to create a living space that emanates warmth and is inspired by its context.

Place: Plateau-Mont-Royal, Montréal Area: 3150 pc Project Manager: Maxime Moreau, architect Team: Nicolas Labrie, Laurie Bélanger, Francis Raymond Collaborators: Catlin Stothers, Susan Bronson Contractor: NewsamConstruction End date of the project: 2016

There’s a Small Bathroom Design Revolution and You’ll Love These Rule-breaking Trends We hope you like the products we recommend. Just so you are aware, Freshome may collect a share of sales from the links on this page. Tired of your small, dark and uninspiring bathroom? Are you ready to finally give it an overhaul? Well, there’s no better time to give your small bathroom a fresh look. Small bathroom design is finally stepping out of the cookie-cutter bathtub, sink cabinet, mirror and toilet combination. The latest small bathroom design ideas are fresh and revolutionary, rethinking what we all expect a bathroom design to look like. Wall-mounted toilets and sinks defy gravity. Cabinet doors are gone. Bold texture and patterns take over a small bathroom space. Get ready to break some rules and open your mind to what your small bathroom should look like with the following nine concepts. 1. You don’t need as much bathroom storage as you think A minimalist bathroom in France features floating cabinetry. Image: For House The first small bathroom design idea for 2017 is a big one: you really don’t need more storage, just a more minimalist attitude! Think about this one for a minute. Those large vanities with the deep cabinet space under the sink are really an inefficient use of space. Things get lost at the back of the cabinet. And the scale takes up so much real estate in your small bathroom design that your bathroom ends up looking smaller. So how do you solve the issue? Get rid of clutter and unnecessary items. How many towels, cosmetics and hotel toiletries do you really need? Replace the clunky bathroom vanity with a floating sink or cabinet or narrow open shelves. You’ll be less tempted to clutter your bathroom when the stuff is on display. And you’ll open a lot more visual space in your bathroom.
