The couple, ardent spa-goers who winter in Florida, wanted to bring the warmth of the Sunshine State to their Westchester County, New York, master bath.

“We were set on a look that was light and airy, fresh and colorful,” the husband says. “And we wanted a style that was transitional— something that was neither too modern nor too traditional.”

For the 400-square-foot his-and-her bathroom, Merrick Kitchen & Bath, of Merrick, New York, relied on the cabinets to create a spalike space that takes its design cues from the classic Florida sunroom. “The interior architecture was our guide,” says Donny Crichton, owner of the firm. “The ceilings are coffered and the walls step back in places, so we had to create very intricate cabinetry to fit the space. In addition, the sinks bump out, so the whole room has an in-and-out movement to it; it’s not static and boring.”
