Whenever a new Ace Hotel opens, we always seem to gravitate to the bathroom design. The just-finished Ace in LA, with interiors by Commune, is no exception. We'd happily copy the bathrooms in our own homes. You, too? Here's how:
Photos by Spencer Lowell for the Ace Hotel.
Above: The black and white palette of the bath is reminiscent of the early days of cinema (note the thumbnail photo of Louise Brooks).
Above: Commune used metal factory windows to delineate the bathrooms from the bedrooms; for inspiration, see 10 Glamorous Baths, Metal Factory Window Edition.
Above: Exposed concrete walls keep the space from looking too "done."
Above: The Robert Abbey Bradley Bronze Wall Sconce measures 15.25 inches wide and can be hung vertically or horizontally; $297.91 from Lamps Plus.
Above: Designed by Philippe Starck for Duravit, the Happy D Washbasin Console is a modern classic; $522.90 from Quality Bath.
Above: Dornbracht's Wall-Mounted Basin Mixer in matte black is $1,760 from Decorative Plumbing.
Above L: The Schoolhouse Electric Push Button One Gang Coverplate is $18. Above R: The Schoolhouse Electric push button Three-Way Dimmer Switch is $49.
Above: Pearl+ Detox Soaps, handmade in Portland, OR, contain crushed natural pearl, charcoal powder, and a blend of oils; a pair of Large Peal+ Detox Soap Bars is $12; a set of four Small Peal+ Detox Soap Bars is also $12.
Above: The Niez Tissue Box Cover by Michael Verheyden is made of hand-sewn saddle leather (also available in white); CA $160 at Espace D.
Above: Simplify your bathing routing with a trio of products developed for Davines for Rudy's Barbershop: a 16 oz bottle of #1 Shampoo is $20, a 16 oz bottle of #2 Conditioner is $24, and a 16 oz bottle of #3 Body Wash is $20. Looking for a wall-mounted bottle caddy for your shower (Atelier Ace designed the one shown above and had it fabricated by Amuneal in Philadelphia)? Consider a Soap & Lotion Caddy ($15.95) from Williams-Sonoma.
Above: Did you notice the mini photo of Louise Brooks reflected in the bath mirror? For something similar, consider the porcelain Louise Brooks Tile Coaster; $12.50 from Cafe Presse.
