Interior designer Huong Vu offers her insight into the design of a bathroom where the baseboard is the unsung hero. She points out, “The bathroom’s tall, minimally designed baseboard acts as an elegant frame, seamlessly integrating the room’s elements.” This understated yet impactful design element is a key factor in creating a cohesive and polished look.
Taking Huong’s observations into account, this bathroom exemplifies how a baseboard can be more than just a structural necessity. The tall white baseboards with a stepped edge, as seen in this bathroom, are purposefully minimalistic. Their simplicity allows for a seamless integration with the room’s overall aesthetic, without competing with the more prominent design elements such as the large glass walk-in shower or the white vanity with gold hardware.
