The Noir Bath Remodel
What was once a simple hall bathroom is now a dramatic, refined retreat defined by rich materials, bold contrast, and a sense of modern elegance. The transformation began with high-gloss black subway tile — a striking choice that wraps the room in depth and sheen, catching light in a way that feels both sculptural and immersive.
To balance the darkness with timeless clarity, Gabrielle layered in high-contrast Carrara marble, allowing its soft veining to introduce movement and quiet luxury. Polished hardware adds a final note of precision, creating a subtle glow against the darker backdrop.
The result is a space that feels elevated and intentional — a modern sanctuary where bold design choices are softened by thoughtful detailing, and where every surface contributes to a beautifully cohesive whole.
 
"We created a little jewel box of a bathroom, wrapped in floor-to-ceiling midnight tile, anchored by a brass console sink, cool Carrara marble, and a faucet that feels like jewelry.
