These dreamy bathrooms provide an escape from a busy day. Check out five Southern bathrooms that will make you swoon.
In recent years, the average bathroom has morphed from merely a functional space into more of a spa-like retreat in the comfort of home. From sitting for relaxing to bathtubs that rival those of five-star resorts, the bathroom can be your daily escape. Here are some dreamy Southern bathrooms that may inspire you to redecorate β or completely renovate.
A touch of green
This Christopher Phelps-designed home, built byβ―Arcadia Custom Homes, is located in the Meadows at Weddington in Weddington, NC. Traci Zeller of β―Traci Zeller InteriorsΒ wanted to create a βrespite for the homeowners.β
βTo meΒ βbusyβΒ designs donβt belong inβ―bathrooms, because who wants to start the day already feeling busy?β Traci says.Β The freestanding tub is nestled into an alcove, whichΒ Traci used to create an intimate feel. The CaesarstoneΒ countertops and porcelain tile, both from the Tile Collection, are luxurious, maintenance-freeΒ surfaces. Traci kept the colors light with gray cabinets, but provided pops of green on the Roman shades and throughout to bring the feeling of the outdoors inside.Β RohlΒ faucets in polished nickel are simple and elegant (Traciβs favorite combination), and elongated custom mirrors add to the open feel.
Bold Blue Bath
βThis was definitely one of the most fun baths Iβve had the opportunity to design,βΒ Karen Kettler, owner of Charlotte-basedβ―Karen Kettler Designβ―says.Β βThisΒ client was adventurous with design and color and wanted clean, contemporary lines.β
The Myers Park homeowner wanted patterned tile, so Karen used tile fromΒ LiLi CementΒ (Marina 5) to create a bold and bright foundation for the bathroom. To complement the floor tile, Karen then selected a harmonious paint color and finishes, such as the tile on the shower walls fromΒ Crossville Tile, theΒ Walker ZangerΒ Sixth Avenue Penny shower floors and the fabulous Daniella bathtub fromΒ Hydro Systems. The showerhead and the faucets are fromΒ Jaclo Industries.

You, too, can be Eloise!
Did you read about Eloise and her adventures at The Plaza when you were younger? Did you ever dream of living in a glamorous hotel? In Atlanta,Β the residences in theβ―Mandarin OrientalΒ let you do just that. WhenΒ Atlanta-based designer Jessica BradleyβsΒ clients moved from a single-family home to the luxurious Mandarin Oriental in Buckhead, she was tasked with makingΒ the space feel like a home, not a hotel. The bathroom was one of the key areas to make the space feel like aΒ zen-like retreat and not just a quick stay. The tub and theΒ Circa LightingΒ light fixture will ensure that you never want to check out.

A quiet spaceΒ
Charlotte In-Vironments Inc. by Jeanine DeVaneyΒ was responsible for the architectural designΒ of this 1950s Myers Park home. βTheirΒ teamΒ was able to createΒ a luxurious master suite, including this masterβ―bathroomβ―and an oversized closet, out ofΒ an awkwardly shapedβ―1950s home,β Traci Zeller says.Β βInterior design needs an appropriate architectural envelope, and thisβ―bathroomΒ wasΒ no exception.β The finishesΒ were kept simpleΒ and low maintenance. The soft curves of the freestanding tub and itsΒ polished nickelΒ floor-mounted faucetΒ from DeltaΒ create the focal point of theβ―room. The sconces are fromΒ Hudson Valley Lighting, and we love thatΒ Traci created a built-in bench in the space as a quiet spot to brush your teeth, put on your shoes or read a book. Since the homeowner has four children, the fabric by Crypton is durable and easy to care for.
Clean linesΒ
This transitional bathroom, located in CharlotteβsΒ Cotswold neighborhood, was designed by Karen Kettler and focuses on clean, contemporary lines to create a modern, warm and inviting space. βThis bathroom was part of a large renovation project with Ali McPhail Interior Design,β Karen says. βThe renovation was to create a more modern space, and we accomplished that in the bathroom with tile patternsΒ on the wall by Walker Zanger, floor and shower both by Crossville Tile,Β neutral colors and beautiful custom cabinets.βΒ Faucets and sinks are by Kohler; knobs are from Atlas Hardwares; countertops are Shadow Storm Marble from Cosmos Granite and Marble.
We hope you find these spaces as inspiring as do!
