Luxurious master ensuite

A handsome muted palette and lots of marble gives this master ensuite its sophisticated charm

Thinking outside the proverbial bathroom box added undeniable wow factor to this timeless master ensuite, part of an addition the homeowners built onto their 1940s Toronto abode a year ago. Designer Cameron MacNeil, who was involved with the entire house renovation, eschewed a typical bathroom layout by enclosing the tub and shower in one area. “It’s nice to be able to keep both close to the window for natural light,” says Cameron. Streamlined elements, a handsome grey and white palette and an abundance of marble enhance the space’s classic, luxurious aesthetic.

Placing the vanities – one for him, one for her – on opposing walls works perfectly with this room’s wide, rectangular shape. 

Combining the under-mounted soaker tub and spacious shower in one glass-enclosed wet room takes up less space than having these elements in separate spots. For privacy, designer Cameron MacNeil had the window’s glass frosted and added a roman shade in a pretty blue hue, which picks up the cool undertones of the tiles throughout the bathroom.

The faux-bamboo mirror lends a decorative touch. 

The vanities boast a dresser-like appearance and offer tons of storage. “It’s very convenient after taking a bath,” says one of the homeowners. “We put towels in there and even clothes, so we don’t have to walk around looking for things like pyjamas.” the drawers have a slim shaker-style profile, and the glass and chrome pulls add a modern flair. The flower-like mosaic marble floor injects a graphic element and provides an alternative to the typical hexagon pattern.

In the tub and shower area, the walls are lined with six-by-12-inch marble tiles – cut from 12-by-12-inch ones – laid in a brick pattern. they’re a little bigger than your standard subway tiles, says Cameron. the white Caesarstone tub surround contrasts the marble and ties in with the vanities’ countertops.
