Steal This Look: An Open-Air Concrete Bath

July 12, 2017

Julie recently discovered a Mumbai-area house perched on a stream; the owners cross a bridge to reach the master bedroom and bath. We instantly fell for Architecture Brio’s minimal concrete bath that lives both indoors and out. Here, we’ve sourced the elements to recreate the look:

Furnishings & Accessories

Above: For the free-standing towel rack, we like the Ekoline Free Standing Wooden Towel Rail in oak; £110.40 from Homebits UK. In the US, try the Sabbathday Lake Shaker Towel Rack Kit; it’s made in the US of solid maple and available from Amazon for $95.
