Basement Bathroom
Designed to feel like a fully considered retreat rather than an afterthought, the basement bathroom at this Alexandria home brings together cohesive finishes and thoughtful fixture selections throughout. The vanity is built on a Bertch Bath cabinet in birch wood, finished in a warm Shale stain with the Osage door style — a grounded, organic choice that anchors the space. Paired beneath it, a Kohler Ladena white rectangular undermount sink keeps the countertop clean and uncluttered. The Moen Eva collection in brushed nickel runs consistently through the entire room, from the 8-inch widespread vanity faucet to the shower faucet and coordinating accessories — including an 18-inch towel bar, robe hook, and toilet paper holder — creating a sense of intentional continuity. In the shower, a Moen Positemp pressure-balanced valve with handheld attachment offers both safety and flexibility, while a Kohler square brushed nickel drain with solid brass fittings adds a refined finishing detail underfoot. The Kohler Wellworth Comfort Height toilet in white with an elongated soft-close seat rounds out the plumbing selections with quiet practicality. Overhead, a Sea Gull 3-light vanity fixture in brushed nickel ties the hardware palette together, casting even light across the space. The floor tile was selected directly by the homeowner through Artisan, bringing a personal touch to the overall design.
