The owners of a post-and-beam deck house in Annapolis hired interior designer Lisa Publicover to overhaul their circa-1980s master bath. Working with kitchen-and-bath designer Tracy McGuinness, she created a clean-lined, modern space to complement the style of the house.

“The post-and-beam construction really drove the design,” McGuinness says. “The house is nestled in the treetops and the wood is a connection to the outdoors.”

The existing bath comprised two rooms: One held a vanity and linen closet, while the other housed a dated built-in tub, shower and toilet. In the vanity room, the linen closet made way for attractive storage towers flanking a sleek, new vanity. The floor-to-ceiling wall between the two rooms now rises only partway for an airier feel. A graceful Victoria & Albert soaking tub and floor-mounted faucet replaced the original boxy version, with its obtrusive deck.

Publicover selected light quartz countertops and limestone-like porcelain tile for practicality—and lots of wood. “I wanted to incorporate tones that worked with the exposed-wood ceilings,” she says. Quarter-sawn walnut cabinets with a strong linear grain extend the vanity space visually, while mahogany trim complements the cedar beams above.

The biggest challenge was a lack of natural light, as the bath had skylights but no windows. To address the problem, Publicover suggested adding a shoji screen door between rooms that would admit light but provide privacy. Another shoji screen on the wall behind the tub is back-lit to mimic a window, giving the illusion of soft, natural light. “The bath is restful,” McGuinness observes, “with a touch of Asian flavor.”
