Southern-Inspired Bath Exudes Everyday Luxury


To give a textural dimension to the walls, Williamson selected handcrafted sandstone mica metallic wallpaper by Ronald Redding for York. This “gives the room a soft, reflective glow when the room is lit at night,” she notes.

The bath contains several distinct work stations, including a makeup area with a vanity and seating. Two cream-toned Botticino marble countertops from Dal-Tile sit atop the vanity area. A mix of stained glass pendants and recessed light fixtures illuminates that space. Three antique chandeliers run the length of the master bath, adding a touch of formal elegance.

“In all, this lavish bathroom is a place where the homeowners come to relax, unwind and let the cares of the day fade away,” states Williamson.

Project Highlights

  • Elaine Williamson, principal of Dallas, TX-based Elaine Williamson Designs was responsible for every room in this Dallas new construction, including outdoor retreats, balconies and this 450-sq.-ft. bath. Unhappy with the builder’s layout, the clients had Williamson rework the existing footprint to create a shotgun-style format.
  • Custom elements create the “everyday elegance” the homeowners desired. This includes a custom French linen cabinet and an armoire that holds a small kitchenette where a coffeemaker, sink and undercounter refrigerator are housed.
  • Natural details add to a serene, spa-like atmosphere. In addition to the specialized handmade mica wallpaper from Ronald Redding for York, Williamson selected 18"x18" antique honed travertine tiles and Botticino marble countertops, both from Dal-Tile. A number of glass accents, including glass Cristallo tiles, are used in the risers on the stairs.
  • The bath contains a number of special areas, including dressing areas with specialty cabinetwork such as closets, shoe displays and custom linen storage.
