Soho House is situated in a Bauhaus structure that was once a department store. After WWII, it was used for various purposes by the Communist party (Joseph Stalin gave a speech on one of the balconies). Our favorite spaces? The rough-luxe baths, featuring the perfect balance of distress and polish. Get the look with the following elements.

Above: For a similar tile, consider Heath Ceramics' Dual Glaze collection of tiles, which are a combination of glossy and matte, adding texture, contrast, and depth. Glazes are overlaid on a single tile, creating variations in reflection and the illusion of varying tile sizes within an installation. The two-by-four-inch, in-stock Dual Glaze Tiles come in four colors—opaque white, stone gray, paprika, and jade—and are $45 per square foot at Heath Ceramics.
Above: Create the illusion of painted brick with Waterworks' Grove Brickworks Field Tile, available in a choice of 16 colors (including Sugar White, shown here). The tiles, made of actual brick, are half an inch thick (a bit thicker than standard tile) and measure 2 3/8 by 8 1/4 inches; inquire about pricing.
Above: The Universal Towel Warmer from Waterworks starts at $1,714 for the chrome version. Find more options (some surprisingly affordable) in Remodeling 101: Towel Warmers.
Above: The Alabax Pendant from Schoolhouse Electric is available in white, black, gray, and marigold; Alabax Large (shown) is $139, and Alabax Medium is $95.
Top: Schoolhouse Electric offers Black and White Aluminum Numbers for doors; $11 each. Bottom: Restroom ($20) signs from Schoolhouse Electric are made by a 100-year-old, third-generation, family-run company in Portland, Oregon.
Above: The Small Pharmacy Cabinet is on sale for $309, marked down from $625, at Restoration Hardware.
Above: The Empire Corner Rectangular Bathtub is available from Waterworks; inquire about pricing. For bathtub advice, see Remodeling 101: Freestanding vs. Built-In Bathtubs, Pros and Cons.
