Bathed in Blue: Chatham Bath
Where Deep Blue Meets Warm Modern Design
Bathed in Blue: Chatham Bath is a complete primary bathroom renovation in Chatham that transforms a dated 1970s space—once defined by cream and pink tones—into a rich, modern environment layered with color, texture, and warmth. Designed as a high-end design-build bathroom remodel, this project focuses on material contrast, custom cabinetry, and refined detailing to deliver a bold yet balanced result.
At the center of the design is a deep blue, variegated tile from Edward Martin, whose tonal variation creates movement and depth across the walls. The richness of the blue envelops the space, giving the bathroom its name while establishing a calm, immersive atmosphere. This expressive tile selection becomes the defining visual element, turning the walls into a feature rather than a backdrop.
Balancing the richness of the tile is a custom modern raised shaker vanity in a light walnut finish. The natural wood introduces warmth and texture, softening the intensity of the blue while maintaining a clean, tailored look. Its precise detailing and subtle profile reflect a modern interpretation of classic cabinetry, adding both function and craftsmanship to the space.
Delta fixtures in champagne bronze are used throughout, bringing a refined metallic warmth that ties the palette together. The finish complements both the walnut cabinetry and the deep blue tile, adding a layer of sophistication without overpowering the design.
Grounding the entire composition is a large-format natural stone-look floor tile. Its neutral tone and subtle texture provide a stable foundation, allowing the more expressive materials above to stand out while maintaining overall balance. The larger format minimizes visual interruption, enhancing the sense of continuity and openness within the room.
This Chatham bathroom renovation demonstrates how thoughtful material selection and expert execution can completely redefine a space. Bathed in Blue: Chatham Bath blends bold color, warm wood, and grounded stone into a cohesive, high-end bathroom remodel—transforming a once outdated interior into a modern, inviting retreat.
