HDG's Elena Reinhardt
As the Designer Bath Guest Blogger for June, Helios Design Group Interior Designer Elena Reinhardt chose a few of her favorite items from the Watertown showroom. Read more about Elena’s picks and how she sees these beautiful products used in a project. “I was thrilled to be the guest blogger for Designer Bath, and to select these products,” Elena said.
The Crosswater, Formos Grande Bathtub is such a timeless piece. The shape is simplistic with clean curves and a thin profile which allows maximum space for a comfortable bathing experience. This tub would be perfect for a client that is seeking a luxurious bathroom experience and has enough space to give to a freestanding piece. It pairs perfectly with the Crosswater Heir Floor Mount Thermostatic Tub Filler, but can also be combined with a traditional fixture for a totally different look.
Crosswater has a beautiful brushed brass finish that will stand out in any bathroom. Their Heir Floor-Mount Thermostatic Tub Filler with Handshower is a stunning sculptural piece. Its structural form and minimal design would make a sleek and practical addition to any bathtub. I would specify this in a space where the client is looking for a show-stopper of a plumbing fixture as the finish makes it stand out.
I was immediately struck by the beautiful finish of this faucet in the Designer Bath Showroom. I saw it in a brushed onyx finish and could tell it was so well-crafted and machined. It has a beautiful ribbed detail on the handle that adds a layer of texture. You can tell that every aspect of the fixture was considered, making it such a well-designed piece. This industrial fixture would work well in a powder room paired with beautiful horsehair wallpaper for a masculine touch.
The Lacava Dimini Console stand is a wonderful statement piece for a bath or powder room. I was attracted to the contrast of the black matte legs and sleek white porcelain sink. The horizontal bar is a great space for your favorite hand towels. This console would work well in a high-end restaurant or hotel room with a playful wallpaper and a pair of mini globe lights stacked on one side of a black metal framed mirror.
A lot of people overlook handles and knobs, but they can have such a beautiful impact on design. I love the Tanners Craft, 6” CC 10 OA Pull because there are so many Edelman leathers to choose from that a client can really let their personality show with whichever leather and metal finish they select. These are perfect for a closet or library where you have some low-touch areas and act as a piece of jewelry for the room. These handles would look beautiful in a primary closet with fluted glass door fronts and a wood island inset with contrasting leather.
