A Special Transitional Bathroom in Beautiful Neutral Tones

Take a peek at a special transitional bathroom by Emily Pueringer Design Studio that blends classic details with modern touches for a space that feels both timeless and fresh. From natural wood finishes to marble hexagonal tile flooring and brass accents, every element works together to create a calm, spa-like atmosphere for an empty-nester couple living in a 100-year-old Minneapolis home.

The double vanity showcases beautiful natural wood cabinetry paired with sleek black hardware and a crisp white countertop. The botanical wallpaper and matching sconces add subtle pattern and warmth without overwhelming the space.

In a cozy nook, a freestanding tub is serviced by brass hardware and a bright window that floods the room with natural light. The small stool and Turkish-style rug add a cozy, personality. And if you’ve heard, you know that interior design in 2026 focuses strongly on infusing your own style and personality throughout the home.

A close-up of the brass tub filler shows off its sculptural shape and vintage-inspired finish. The warm metal tones coordinate perfectly with the rust-colored towels for a cohesive look. I love the color palette in this corner.

The glass-enclosed shower keeps the room feeling open while showcasing creamy tiles and built-in niches for shampoo and soap. A patterned rug underfoot adds texture and visual interest. Hooks outside the door make it easy to hang fluffy robes and towels.

Seen through the glass shower wall, the soaking tub becomes the focal point of the room. A bath-board crossing the tub creates a resting spot for loofahs and anything else you might need for your bubble bath.

A closer look at the vanity reveals thoughtful styling, from the woven tray to the coordinating hardware. The wallpaper adds a bit of softness to keep the design interesting and dynamic.
