NKBA's Top 10 Design Trends for 2009
Mirror, Mirror Off the Wall
Designer: Bryan Matthew Reiss, CKD, CBD
Co-Designer: Theresa Bishop
Flush-mounted bathroom wall mirrors are starting to yield to more creative placements. Bryan Matthew Reiss, CKD, CBD created a freestanding furniture piece that had back-to-back mirrors, sinks, and faucets to provide a clear his-and-hers space. For her, behind the sink area is a mirror mounted away from the wall, perfectly positioned for applying makeup while seated at the vanity. For him, a tall cabinet provides ample room for toiletries. Both needs are met in this long, slender room with the rub and angled shower on the opposite wall. A dark, rich cherry-stained and glazed cabinetry with light limestone accents complements the floor and shower, which feature a diagonal Durango limestone and clipped corner inset Jerusalem gold limestone pattern. Oil-rubbed bronze sconces, faucets, and mirrors pop against the light tones of the stone.
