If men are from Mars and women are from Venus, how on earth can they share a bathroom? Traditional Home senior design and projects editor Robert Young addressed that question in his design of an idea-packed dream bathroom for this year’s Kitchen/Bath Industry Show. A good marriage counselor might have predicted his answer—a design that balances shared and private spaces so everybody, including the relationship, wins. Separate his-and-her areas cater to gender-specific needs, while a common, shared space in the middle fosters time together.
Highlights include a two-person Michael S Smith tub for Kallista, a black Murano glass chandelier, and a custom art-glass mural by Erin Adams Design for Ann Sacks.
