Bel Air Bathroom Before & After

When I first laid eyes on the Bel Air main bath I immediately saw how to reconfigure it in my mind's eye. Besides detesting the mosaic tile, I didn't think the layout was working out too well for the long narrow space. It wanted its full vaulted ceilings! It wanted a semi-private toilet area! I just knew.

I decided to do away with the tub, remove the steam shower, expand the shower area to a double, and carve out a toilet area where the tub was. The vanity got longer and received a makeup area.

Drawing it was the easy part. Building it out in such a tight space where every inch counts was harder.

But also kind of cool, right?



The finished space is a dreamy textural ode to California modern Spanish vibes with plaster, zellige, clay cotto tile, white oak wood, and living brass. I love it so and hope the owners do as well.

the way the design balances modern materials with the original Spanish character is very well done. The mix of tile, marble, and lighting choices gives the bathroom a calm but still very stylish personality. It’s always interesting to see how layout changes alone can completely improve functionality. I recently came across a similar design discussion on a review-style site https://www.masterstorage365.com/, which also looked at how thoughtful material choices impact renovation outcomes.
