SuzAnn Kletzien Chicago bathroom shower

Black and white doesn't have to be boring. Designer SuzAnn Kletzian transformed a dark and dreary Chicago bathroom into a luxurious escape with an elegant clawfoot tub and marbled shower. The statement-making floor complements the picture-frame trim on the doors, walls, and mirrors.



With views of the Pacific just outside, this soothing space designed by Christina Rottman draws on the colors of the sea. Teal tiles from Ann Sacks clad the window-adjacent tub, so it really feels like going for a dip in the ocean.


Mirrors, marble and sunlight bring sparkle to a newly expanded master bath. The Texas home's garden theme is echoed in Nina Campbell's Orchard Blossom wallpaper and Canopy Designs' custom-colored porcelain branch chandelier.


"This windowless powder room under the stairs feels hidden away from everything," says designer Andrew Howard." Total excuse to go big!" It's covered in three Schumacher wallpapers: Samovar and Topkapi on the walls and Taj Trellis on the ceiling.


Guests at a North Carolina home designed by MA Allen pop in this changing area before hitting the pool. A built-in bench doubles as storage space for towels, and a gooseneck light fixture from Barn Electric Co. brightens the CB2 mirror.


A New England home's powder room retained its vintage corner sink but got a new look with Robert Crowder & Co. marbleized wallpaper and a vintage Egon Hillebrand mirror. The original wainscoting was repainted in Farrow & Ball's Plummet.


In an Atlanta family home, the downstairs bathroom has a utilitarian Oak Hill DXV console sink, which designer Matthew Quinn notes is both elegant and durable. The shower and toilet are hidden behind curtains in Cabana Cloth from Thibaut's Portico collection of Sunbrella fabrics. Suspending a mirror in front of the window allows for privacy.


The walls of a beach house bathroom feature Brett Design's Peonies wallpaper. "I wanted every inch of the powder room to be special," says designer Colleen Bashaw. The vintage brass console was fitted with a Waterstone Faucets fixture, and the custom backsplash and counter are made of Stone Surfaces' Black Absolute granite.


The world's tiniest powder rooms should copy this configuration. A mirror hung at an angle above a corner sink maximizes every inch, while clutter gets stashed behind the fabric skirt. Add a dose of charm by mounting plates and sneaking in an elegant orchid.


Embrace nautical decor head-on with shipshape accents. Ann Sacks's Carrara hexagonal floor tiles brighten a coastal cottage's bathroom, with contrasting bands on the walls. The stool is by Waterworks and the window shades are in C&C Milano's Persico Mache.


Make up for a nonexistent linen closet with strategic storage. A mirrored medicine cabinet in a New York apartment measures two feet deep to fit towels. The shelves inside are staggered around the pipes, and a custom vanity conceals bins for dry cleaning and laundry.


An Alexander McQueen skull pillow was the catalyst for this daring en suite bathroom in Chicago's trendy Wicker Park neighborhood. "I wanted drama!" says designer SuzAnn Kletzien, who notes that placing a modern, jewelry-inspired chandelier over a claw-foot tub "definitely satisfied that need."
