Chandeliers in the Bathroom II

The question of whether chandeliers are a good option in the bathroom is over!  After posting on this very same topic (here) some time back, it seems that some were wondering the same thing……well, wonder no more, the verdict is out……They look fabulous in any style of decor….see for yourself.

Built-in cabinets recycling old leaded windows from elsewhere in the house were used to create the doors.   Photography: Angus McRitchie  Room design: Julie Charbonneau

This gorgeous home, which left me breathless when I first gazed upon it, was introduced by Erin at House of Turquoise.  The stunning home is one of her readers, Desiree Ashworth who has an inspiring blog full of French, Gustavian and Belgian decor, Decor de Provence. This lovely home is in Provo, Utah and the incredible photography from Ashlee Raubach.

The whole idea for this space was to create a sanctuary (success if you ask me).  The focal point of the bathroom is the fabulous soaking tub that overlooks a lovely walled garden. You can lie there in absolute privacy and enjoy the fabulous light and the beautiful plants….

A Persian carpet is an unusually luxurious choice for a bathroom, but stands up well to wear and tear.  An antique wrought-iron chandelier from Europe illuminates the tub area.

No matter what your design style is, working in a fabulous chandelier into the space that we begin and end our day in is definitely a possibility.
