Our clients wished to create a spa-like master bath in their new Rustic Contemporary mountain retreat in beautiful Lake Tahoe, California. To achieve this, we aimed to bring the rustic outdoors inside by selecting many natural materials in their raw form – stacking stone of slate in rich warm tones line the walls and compliment the living copper sinks, honed slate slabs deck the cabinetry and the tub surface, and large travertine tiles make up the floor and two of the shower walls. In an effort to keep the space as open as possible, a two-sided fireplace was selected, which connects the master bedroom to the bathroom and the same materials were used to seamlessly join the two spaces, while still giving privacy to the bath located just on the other side of the fireplace wall. This bathroom achieves a great rustic mountain feel while accomplishing its mission of creating a relaxing spa experience.
