FLOOR-FOCUSED

Patterned flooring, large subway tiles, and brass fixtures inject personality into this black and white bathroom designed by Alex Caratachea.

CHIC BLACK AND WHITE

Fashion designer Neil Barrett's Milan master bathroom is proof that black and white doesn't have to be boring. Thanks to the walls and flooring in Carrara marble, along with sinks by Ideal Standard, and a bamboo chair by R&Y Augousti, the space is a lesson in design.

CLASSIC STRIPES

A striped wallpaper by Ralph Lauren Home adds a sophisticated elegance to a master bathroom in a Roman Palazzo, which was transformed by architect Achille Salvagni. The design also features a 1930s Venini chandelier, tub fittings by Lefroy Brooks, and a heirloom 1750 Italian stool.

STATEMENT MARBLE

A master bathroom designed by David Netto and architect Gil P. Schaefer features walls in Benjamin Moore’s Dove Wing, Paonazzo marble flooring from BAS Stone, as well as a custom Urban Archaeology vanity with Lefroy Brooks fittings.

LEAFY WALLPAPER

Leafy wallpaper adds a playful touch to this black and white children's bathroom by designer Kerri Rosenthal.

URBAN GLAMOUR

In a Manhattan residence, the master bathroom's light fixture—a circa-1960s chandelier by Sarfatti—adds a dose of glam. Along with a Water Monopoly tub, the space features a side table by Achille Salvagni and walls sheathed in marble.

ART DECO BATHROOM

In this Art Deco pad in Chicago, the master bath’s custom vanities are in Belgian black marble supported by bronze legs; the Waterworks sinks have Barber Wilsons & Co. brass fittings; the Collier Webb sconces and Charles Edwards ceiling light are custom, and the floor is Belgian Black marble with bronze inlay.

GILDED MODERN BATHROOM

In this Manhattan apartment, the masculine bathroom features a sink from Urban Archaeology. The fittings are by Waterworks, the cabinets are black glass with brass trim, the walls are clad in Saint Laurent marble, and the flooring is limestone.

BLACK-AND-WHITE MARBLE BATHROOM

In the Paris home of designer Christopher Noto, a fabric-covered, geometric light fixture and a large, gold-framed wall mirror accents the marble room. The bathroom sink and tub are custom designs, and the fittings are antique. The Japanese screen on the wall is from the Edo period.

MIRRORED BATHROOM

Mirrored walls are one of the easiest ways to create the illusion of more space. Ann Pyne, head of one of Americas oldest and most distinguished design firms, designed this petite bathroom for a Manhattan client using the age-old trick. A photograph by Luisa Lambri hangs above the bath.
