Open-concept living isn’t new, however it continues to push the limits of our, well, boundaries. When the new York house of J. Crew creative director Jenna Lyons very first ran in Domino magazine as well as then once again in Living Etc, its inky black walls in the primary bedroom ? accomplished with chalkboard paint ? drew many ooohs as well as aaahs. however it was the openness of the bedroom to the bathtub that struck me. Without doors between them, going from soak to sleep includes just crawling out of one as well as into the other.
Then I stumbled on this stunning picture by new York professional photographer Simon Watson for home & Garden, which drops all pretense of a dividing line between sleeping as well as bathing quarters. I assumption the glass doors get rid of any type of problems with steaming up the room. moist bed linens? No thanks.
Just as subjecting our kitchens when seemed unthinkable, knocking down this wall feels like we’re truly baring all. however I won’t be surprised if the idea catches on. Why not show off today’s statement tubs? Rapsel does one influenced by Arne Jacobsen’s iconic Egg Chair and not long ago, an picture came across my desk of one clad in Hermès leather. Hiding it behind closed doors would be like buying a Birkin bag as well as never taking it out of the closet.
