Redo the Loo: Bathroom Designs to Inspire Your Next Renovation
We tapped Goli Karimi, Director of Design at Home Front Build — an acclaimed architecture, interior design and construction team out of Los Angeles — for her favorite bathroom renovation, and it’s safe to say that we’re totally inspired by the loo’s bold, over-the-top statement. Set within an iconic 1916 English Tudor in LA, the bathroom features stunning Andalucia tiles from Walker Zanger and a beautifully textured ceiling that, in Goli’s words, “envelop you as if you’re being carried by ocean waves under fluffy clouds towards the impressive Crosswater tub.” Not only that, “the mirror-like polished stainless steel exterior of the tub reflects the floor tile, visually expanding the room.”
Replete with a sophisticated antique patina in a calm shade of blue, this bathroom is truly an oasis for relaxation. And, although it’s brand-new, the bathroom feels like it’s always been there. “The best compliment one can get when renovating a historic home is that it feels original,” Goli said. And when we asked for her best tips and tricks when renovating, we were thrilled to get some great, timeless advice: “There are so many decisions to make and hiring a professional gives you the peace of mind that all details will be thought through and worked out. Once you’re done with the project, you should be able to enjoy it for many years without having to replace anything.”
