Mélanie Cherrier was tasked with transformi­ng a spare bedroom into a principal bathroom that flowed with the rest of the century-old home in Montreal West, and her plan was simple: incorporat­e old pieces with new accents that have timeless appeal. The 95-square-foot room she created proves that luxury can be found in even the smallest of spaces. Imagine waking up to heated Carrara marble floors and starting the day with a sundrenche­d shower. It’s this pampered feeling that Mélanie’s hardworkin­g clients wanted, and she certainly delivered. A vintage wooden perch is ideal for keeping essentials handy while elegant new panelling gives the white envelope its Parisian flavour. A white oak vanity and cabinet reiterate the historical vibe and add warmth. “I wanted a soft and serene look that would age beautifull­y,” says Mélanie.
