Designer Brooke Abcarian’s clients bought their home in Los Angeles’s South Bay about four years ago and had been patiently waiting for the right time to redo their primary bathroom. “They weren’t new to the remodel process, and because of that, they know how many minute details and decisions go into every project,” Brooke explains. “This time around, they wanted help narrowing down options and putting together a cohesive, beautiful design for their space.”

The couple has two little girls, so this space was meant to be their grown-up, serene, and clutter-free sanctuary. “They wanted it to be feel luxurious thoughtfully balanced,” Brooke says. “They didn’t have a ton of specific requests, but they were definitely excited to get rid of the big built-in bathtub.”

The home’s architecture is Spanish-inspired, so the goal was to keep the design in that realm, layering in traditional elements interpreted through a modern lens. “I would describe it as classic and optimistic,” Brooke explains.

The floor tile is the first thing to catch your eye, and it was an element the designer was eager to incorporate. “I actually took a trip during this project with my daughter to Copenhagen and, by complete coincidence, we saw this exact same marble color and pattern in a 400-year-old castle, so it was a good sign for all of us on the project that the floors will stand the test of time,” she recalls. “The material combination is Colorado Calacatta, Red Onyx, and New St Laurent marble.”

The arched mirrors mimic the archways throughout the rest of the house, creating a subtle throughline that visually ties the spaces together. The vanity was designed to look like a piece of furniture. “I personally love the rounded edge detail on the vanity and the stone top on the vanity’s left side because it’s just unexpected,” Brooke shares. Above the tub, a flower-petal light fixture found on Etsy adds a joyful touch. The space is finished with locally made hardware from Pruskin Hardware.

The shower walls are a subtle, honed Thassos, chosen so they wouldn’t compete with the striking floors while still offering soft natural variation. “One special feature is the leg shaving niche in the left corner of the shower, positioned at the ideal height for my client,” the designer tells us. The plumbing fixtures are all Newport Brass.

In the end, every detail comes together to create a sanctuary that feels both timeless and deeply personal.
