This luminous primary bathroom strikes the perfect balance between classic and modern. “There’s a strong level of traditional detail through the vanity, finishes, color palette and arch elements, but the fixtures give it a modern edge,” Normandy Designer Abby Osborn says. “It’s a calming, clean design that still captures detail and can fit into nearly any home aesthetic.”

At the heart of this transitional bathroom design is a stunning walnut console vanity, designed as a furniture-style centerpiece rather than a built-in cabinet. “We chose drawers over doors and built the vanity as one complete piece, so it reads like freestanding furniture,” Abby says. Topped with a quartzite countertop and paired with a textured wallpaper backsplash that adds softness, the vanity features integrated cabinet pulls that sit flush for a seamless look.

In the shower, textured porcelain tile creates visual interest within the refined profile. “The large-format tile leans more modern, with fewer grout lines to give you a much cleaner look,” Abby notes. The shower is outfitted with a rain shower head, along with a bench and a shaving niche for comfort and usability.

Near the window, the freestanding tub makes a sculptural statement. With its Victorian-inspired form crafted from volcanic stone, it offers both old-world charm and modern performance. “The material helps retain heat, keeping bathwater warm longer,” says Abby.

Smart storage solutions elevate daily living. A linen cabinet with open shelving and a built-in hamper keeps essentials organized, and two recessed medicine cabinets — one equipped with an electrical outlet — offer discreet convenience. U-shaped top-drawer interiors in the vanity fit around fixed plumbing. Even the toilet room was carefully considered, featuring a skirted toilet for a cleaner, more streamlined appearance.

Underfoot, custom-laid porcelain floor tile leans more traditional, while polished nickel hardware adds a touch of luxe throughout the space. The result is a bathroom that feels timeless yet current — an expertly layered retreat where thoughtful design details quietly elevate everyday routines.
