About This Project
Material & Feature Breakdown
The bathroom features a blend of high-end materials: large-format polished beige marble tiles set the stage across the main floor, while the shower floor utilizes small terracotta-hued porcelain squares for added slip resistance. Both the side walls and shower surround use elongated gray porcelain tiles with a matte, slightly textured stone look for a clean, contemporary feel. The visual centerpiece is a striking blue and charcoal porcelain accent wall in a stacked pattern, boasting a subtle metallic effect and straight edges. All grouts are chosen for matching or subtle contrast, enhancing the crisp lines of each surface.
This contemporary bathroom embodies the fresh spa-inspired vision of the 2016 CotY Award Winners project by NARI of Minnesota in Minneapolis, MN. Harnessing streamlined forms and bold architectural moments, the space combines modern blue porcelain accent tiles, gray stone-look shower walls, and a luminous marble floor for an elevated residential retreat. The overall design merges artistry and functionality while celebrating tactile contrasts, sophisticated palettes, and regional craftsmanship.
