109GREAT ESCAPE
MASTER BATHROOM | STEFAN ALEXANDER
While mainstream bathroom designs can look similarly sterile, decorator Stefan
Alexander of Peter Block Architects and Stefan Alexander Interiors went against the
monotonous grain and crafted a dreamy retreat that’s for living and bathing. “My
inspiration was Pauline de Rothschild’s home, Chateau Mouton—I’ve always loved
her ability to treat any room, no matter the function, as a fabulous and curated space,”
shares Alexander. “Her bathroom could have been the living room ... I fell in love with
treating a room that’s normally so stark, with warmth and art.” When outfi tting the
master bathroom, the elegant Nick Burchell’s portrait above the tub and antiques, like
the French secretary and mirrors, helped juxtapose the hardworking materials. “The
balance of modernity and antiques really help make a wonderful and layered space,”
he shares. “After all, a bathroom should be a room where you happen to bathe—so why
not decorate it like a living room or private retreat?” —Jeanne Lyons DavisCABINETRY AND DRESSING TABLE Morgan Creek Cabinet
