Reimagining the Bathroom: How to choose the right faucet for your bathroom design project

Posted on November 8, 2018 by

If shopping for fixtures and faucets doesn’t seem exciting to you, you’re doing it wrong. When RNDD Member, PROjECT. interiors designs a home for their clients, they don’t just shop for a faucet. They approach each bathroom overhaul as an opportunity to innovate.

Brizo Litze

Design by PROjECT. interiors featuring the Brizo Litze Single-Handle Lavatory Faucet from Studio41

“We’re constantly editing and refining, reworking design concepts and frequently choosing the exact opposite as the perfect solution. We want all our clients to have spaces that are unique to them. We never follow a template and we love to challenge convention!” – PROjECT. interiors

For PROjECT, no detail is too small and there are no afterthoughts in their interiors. They create thoughtful, unapologetically distinct and complete environments. Plumbing fixture selection is central to every wet space from the first moments they’re conceiving the design, because faucets impart loads of personality and interest.

“Plumbing fixtures are the jewelry of the bathroom, it’s our job as designers to compose the ensemble that makes them stand out as sculptural objects in the space.”

With these four spaces featured below, they worked closely with fellow RNDD member Studio41 Home Design Showroom to find the right pieces for the right project. Studio41 is a home design showroom in River North open to everyone – homeowners, contractors, designers, and architects. They carry everything from kitchen and bath plumbing fixtures, kitchen and bath cabinetry, kitchen and bath accessories, to windows, doors, door hardware and cabinet hardware. Their sales consultants are experts at what they do and offer kitchen and bath design services to help you realize your dreams for your home.

A special edition within the Odin™ Collection, the Jason Wu for Brizo™ bath suite features the aesthetic sense of a renowned fashion designer coupled with the design and innovation that could only come from Brizo.
Learn more here.

For these modern bathrooms, PROjECT wanted to combine style and function. They wanted to explore shape and composition. They wanted to experiment with technology. And, ultimately, they wanted quality fixtures that are as functional as they are sexy.

“Working with the experts at Studio41 we were able to source these great products with cool finishes and place them in unconventional ways to give our client’s bathrooms that are unexpected and unique to them.”

Grohe

Pictured here: the Grohe Allure Two-Hole Wall Mount Bathroom Faucet from Studio41.
Purists will love the pared-down lines and open rectangular spout of Allure, delivering a pristine sensual experience. It is original and authentic, offering two different handle styles.

Design is only authentic when it triggers an immediate, instinctive response and PROjECT breaks the mold luxuriating from every angle. Each project is a personal wardrobe of moods and influences— an organic-glam-mash-up; the casual and custom, far-flung, limited edition, dazzling, long-time and one-time exclamations that course through a lifetime.

“There’s this incredible thing that happens when I walk into a client’s space and ‘see’ the potential. Upon communicating my ideas to my client after carefully listening to their goals, I watch the furrowed brow turn into a smile and a light ignites in their eyes.” – Staci Munic

Donna’s approach infuses interiors with elements of different periods and styles to create timeless, unpredictable surroundings. Her designs are about layered textures, avant-garde elements, and edgy styling resulting in an unexpected balance. The individual pieces in the EnVie collection are named after royal mistresses including King Henry IV of France’s Charlotte and Gabrielle and King Charles VI’s Odette.

Over the years, she has worked with a wide variety of discerning clientele from professional athletes to Fortune 500 C-level executives. Her signature style and reputation for creating environments that reimagine the possibilities of spatial design quickly caught the attention of media and city-based clients alike, resulting in an expansion of services to include custom pieces where possible.
