The Value & The Costs of
Special Bathroom Materials & Finishes
The Value
The selection of appropriate materials, finishes, and treatments for bathrooms is vital for the longevity and durability of the wet and humid space. Whether it be a communal powder room or a spa-like primary bathroom suite, we aim to design memorable spaces that truly enhance the daily lives of our clients. To do so, we sometimes recommend special bathroom materials and finishes.
Depending on the required functionality and the family’s aesthetic preferences this might mean wall finishes (plaster, microcement, limewash) wall coverings (wood slats, wallpaper) unique natural materials (stones) or just specialty tile (ceramics, mosaics)
These special finishes can help create unique moments and can be customized to address the necessary functionality of the room. See some examples of special bathroom materials and finishes in our custom, modern homes below:
The Costs
Finish selection will directly impact the costs of creating a custom bathroom. This can vary from materials that are roughly equivalent to materials that are several times the cost of standard building materials.
For example: Natural materials such as stone are created within the earth over time; while they help create a special and dramatic look, their rarity can contribute to its higher price point. Similarly, mosaics, made from multiple small tiles, require a high-touch process to fabricate.
Our team will work within your established budget to suggest materials and finishes that don't break the bank, but still create some truly unique moments within your custom home.
