In This Self-Care Sanctuary, Concrete Surprises and Delights

Black matte details sparked the idea of this modern bathroom.
Contest finalist Yaneli Rozon

With Dream & Design: A Design School Challenge, New York magazine and Delta® Faucet are giving the next great interior designer a chance to win a $10,000 scholarship. Inspired by Delta® Faucet’s brand pillars — innovative, visionary, genuine, and sophisticated — design students crafted mood boards depicting how, featuring a Delta faucet of their choice, they’d transform an imagined space into their real-life design fantasy. Below, read about one of the five finalists’ creations.

Imagined Space
Bathroom in a contemporary studio

Design Statement
What inspires you as a designer, and what type of space is represented above? How would you go beyond the ordinary to elevate this room?

Open shelves incorporate [the clients’] sleek personal products as part of the design.

In this case, the contemporary and elegant Pivotal collection was the inspiration for design. I immediately visualized a young professional couple just starting off in their first home together. Being two people but still within a budget, they’ve chosen a studio in Chelsea, but with generous, spacious areas including a double-sink bathroom. They enjoy and value bath time, including skincare and grooming, so there is a special focus there. A modern, simple aesthetic is expressed by minimal open shelves, which show off and incorporate their sleek personal products as part of the design.

The different finishes offered in the Pivotal collection provide the opportunity to play with and personalize the client’s ideal bathroom. Since this couple identifies with the industrial style, the black matte finish is perfect for the faucet, towel rack, and other fixtures. From there, it doesn’t take much else to achieve their desired style: With a rustic wood vanity and Edison-style light fixtures, the design will look elegant with rustic touches, as is popular with this younger generation.

Neutral colors will be used throughout, using white subway wall tiles, along with other black, white, and gray features, and a lighter wood like walnut for warmth. The countertop of the vanity will be quartz stone with a cement finish, the flooring will be gray tile, and the black matte vanity pulls will coordinate with the fixtures and mirror. Finally, two types of sconces will be used, both with Edison bulbs: one in the middle of the two over-sink mirrors, and one above each mirror.
