ow-key luxury is a
twist on the traditional
where contemporary
meets classic, and in a
retreat
home in which children run underfoot,
sometimes less truly is more. With its
simple lines this master bathroom is all
about the details.
Amy Tyndall, of Amy Tyndall Design,
created this master bath for a family of four.
“They wanted a classic timeless look
with a little bit of an edge,” she explains.
“The husband is really modern and contemporary
while the wife is more traditional,
so it’s a combination of the two.”
Tyndall says she is seeing bigger, more
luxurious bathrooms that people spend
more time in—bathrooms aren’t just
functional anymore. They want the bathroom
to be enjoyable, more like a spa
experience.

White Carrara marble tiles line the floor
with a delicate marble inlay focal point.
“It’s a very large room,” Tyndall says.
“I wanted to do something that helped to
break up the huge expanse of the marble.
That led to the design of the mosaic rug.”
The marble rug draws the eye to the
soaker bathtub which is both the elegant
centerpiece of the bathroom and a muchloved
place of adventure for the children.
