This bathroom is designed to achieve the least significant changes in the original bathroom condition. In order to save costs for the purchase of better materials.
For All wooden elements in the project (door, window and slip-in Lin. Cabinet doors) + the Vanity + closets
The usage of wooden elements is kept for its high value, beside it adds sense of warmth to the place (which you need in cold weather)
In this design, dark walnut brown is chosen to match the black and white color theme you prefer in the bathroom design
For the dressing room
The corridor was expanded, and the design of cabinets divided according to the different types of clothing.
The location of the original bathroom door has been maintained with the addition of a wall element next to the door to maintain the color balance in the room.
For the bathroom
A) The supply and drainage areas for toilet and basin were maintained.
B) Partitions of different heights are used to identify spaces of different uses while at the same time creating an open, spacious feel.
C) For the Materials:
a. White carrara marble was used in the walls
b. The Toilet wall and the Window wall were highlighted by black tiles to break the monotony of white in the wall.
c. Nero Marquina marble borders the spaces and highlight the tops of the Partitions.
d. Black brushed granite was used in the bathroom floor and Mosaic tiles were used in gray shades inside the shower space to prevent slipping.
D) The floating Vanity gives an extended sensation within the bathroom making it feel bigger and highlighting the distinctive black granite floor. The distance below the vanity allows easy cleaning and prevents any accumulation of dirt between the vanity and the ground.
E) The walk-in shower is characterized by low glass usage, making it easy to clean.
F) Rain shower heads is used to avoid water splashing (you can use any other shower heads that aim straight downward)
For the wooden window
It is an aesthetic element that should not be neglected in the designer’s opinion.
Will the wood retain its beauty over time or not? This depends on many factors including the quality of wood and finishing.
In the proposed design, the nearest rain shower head has a horizontal distance of 140 cm (about 55 inches) from the window. The window sill rises about 90 cm (about 35.4 inches) and therefore it is impossible to reach the water directly.
The concern lies in the moisture resulting from bathing only. This can be treated by many products in the market nowadays. I found this product (just as an example) and You might need to re-coat it after 3 to 5 years (depending on the product).

and since we need to change its color to dark walnut brown, you can find a wood stain sealant. I found this product (also just as an example- they have a variety of colors)

In my opinion, you don’t have to change your house facade and you can enjoy your distinctive wooden window, which illuminates the bathroom in a wonderful way!
