Angular appeal is what Classic Cottages was banking on when it built this decidedly contemporary spec home in Arlington’s Lyon Village. (The house attracted some 120 visitors to its first open house and sold in September.) “We wanted the interiors to match the clean lines of the exterior,” says Kim Musser, design director for the Alexandria-based builder (ccottages.com).
In the master bath, Musser went for modernity. She outfitted the shower with groovy Floor & Décor Calacatta Labrinto porcelain mosaic tiles, then played off their geometry with complementary elements that were similarly shaped. Among them: a rectangular Kohler soaking tub, a fused-laminate Eclipse vanity and rectangular surface-mount sinks with brushed metal faucets (also rectangular). The vanity’s acrylic handles echo the translucence of the glass shower door, and a ceiling-mounted rain showerhead adds an extra level of pampering.
