Bathing with the Pharaohs

This last year we designed an Egyptian themed theater for a client. We coordinated the theme/design of the theater with the theater bathroom.

The main focus of the theater bathroom was the custom etched and carved shower doors which features both an Egyptian man and woman adorned in the clothing and jewelry of the Pharaohs. The man and woman are based off of the paintings on the walls in the tombs of Ancient Egypt. The etchings have accents of metallic paint which highlights the jewelry on each figure.

In the theater bathroom we simplified the color scheme from the bright blues, reds, greens, and gold seen in the theater by using only black and gold. The bathroom walls are covered with a hand-painted wall covering that has gold papyrus leaves on a black background.

A gold travertine selected for the main floor tile contrasts with the black and gold walls-balancing the combination of the light and dark colors.

The cabinets and trim are painted black and highlighted with a metallic gold paint. The sink vanity has a Black Absolute granite countertop, and its tiered base is faced with the same Black Granite.

The gold mirror frame which we selected has an Egyptian motif-complimenting the vanity’s tiered base. The classic designed two-arm sconces in a black and gold finish flank the mirror and completes the room design.

So, come bathe with the Pharaohs in an atmosphere of Ancient Egypt!
