No matter what angle you look at these four Bergen bathrooms from, they shine in sophistication and style. From crystal sconces and chandeliers to mother-of-pearl tiles and ornately footed soaking tubs, these spaces draw attention to luxurious custom details.
Designer: Zachary Epstein, Artistic Tile, Paramus
For his own Tenafly master bathroom, Zachary Epstein, vice president of Artistic Tile, sought to design a space that would reflect his love of natural stone and his wife’s love of fine jewelry. Inspired by the jewel tones of a cuff bracelet owned by his mother, Artistic Tile CEO and founder Nancy Epstein, he chose book-matched slabs of Breccia Capraia Italian polished marble with striking dark green and purple veining for the shower walls, countertops and tub surround. The company’s Xanadu water jet mosaic, a flowing pattern of Calacatta Gold marble inset with gold leaf glass, amethyst and mother-of-pearl, adds freeform whimsy to the floor, while Barovier & Toso’s Alexandria wall sconce and chandelier heighten the bathroom’s atmosphere of all-out glamour. Complementing the theme is a custom double vanity with a multi-faceted facade, accented by Dornbracht’s Supernova faucet and hardware, all in a high-gloss golden champagne finish.
Steal the look: Amp up the opulence with high-gloss finishes and lighting.
Designer: Aparna Vijayan, Ulrich, Ridgewood
Seeking to complement the turn-of-the-century manor style of this Franklin Lakes home, designer Aparna Vijayan of Ulrich in Ridgewood chose a neutral color palette and a mix of earthy textures for this spacious master bath. “The homeowners wanted low-maintenance materials and a modern take on a manor home bathroom,” says Vijayan, who paired oversized vintage Calacatta porcelain tile floors with an Earth Pebble mosaic shower floor. Brookhaven by Wood-Mode maple cabinets painted in Harbor Mist are finished with a soft pewter glaze and leathered Najarian quartzite countertops. Floor-to-ceiling Brandywine fieldstone cladding cleverly obscures an existing brick chimney, adding warmth to the space, while polished nickel fixtures and crystal hardware deliver just the right amount of elegance to infuse the space with old-world manor style.
Steal the look: Soften expanses of white with earth tones and natural textures.
Designer: Vanessa Deleon, Vanessa Deleon Associates, NYC
Designer Vanessa Deleon, president of Vanessa Deleon Associates, chose an eclectic mix of fixtures for this stunning master bathroom in a newly constructed home in Upper Saddle River. The focal point, a freestanding floor-to-ceiling shower in client-sourced black and white tile, dictated the color palette. To balance the space and give it an “old meets new” sensibility, Deleon paired a classic cast-iron claw-foot soaking tub featuring Imperial feet and a black pearl exterior finish with Armadi Art’s Fiaba white glass vanity topped with a single vessel sink that was imported by Topex Design in Elmwood Park. Above the vanity, Glow Lighting’s beaded Crystal Rain sconces flank the framed mirror. Deleon finished the room’s arched windows with custom Roman shades accented by broad contrasting trim, made and installed by Evelin’s Creations in Ridgefield.
Steal the look: Choose high-gloss finishes and a black-and-white color palette for a look that’s timeless.
Designer: Antonella Romano, Stone and Tile Emporium, Wyckoff
For an Upper Saddle River homeowner with a clear vision of her dream bathroom, Antonella Romano, president of Stone and Tile Emporium in Wyckoff, partnered with her client to design a stylish, spa-like oasis featuring a modern, freestanding bathtub and extra-large frameless glass shower. Using lower-maintenance Statuary Italian porcelain, she paired large-format 24-inch by 48-inch pieces on the floor with 2-inch by 2-inch mosaics on the shower floor. The double vanity, by Joseph Salerno of Ribbon & Reed Cabinetry in Westwood, features a stain-resistant Statuary quartz slab with a 3-inch drop apron edge. Romano, a third-generation tile designer, pays particular attention to small details. “We installed sub tops underneath the top cabinets and under the mirror to prevent water damage,” she says. “This is a very important detail because it protects the wood and adds an extra frame to the bottom of mirror and cabinets.” Likewise, Romano opted for minimal white grout lines to mimic the look of authentic marble slabs.
Steal the look: Go low-maintenance with materials that mirror the look of their luxe (but less durable) counterparts.
