Southeast Designer Showhouse — Pool Bath in Aria White Porcelain

This Southeast Designer Showhouse Pool Bath is small, playful, and resort-style. Designed by Claudia Stimmel of Simplicity a Southern Lifestyle, the room pairs blue and white striped tile across every wall with a floating vanity in Aria White Porcelain from Encore Stone Studio.

Floating vanities are one of our favorite things to build. Our first concept put a vessel sink on top of the vanity with a floating shelf below for towels. Claudia kept the shelf, and once her wall tile design ended up covering the entire wall, the vessel sink came off in favor of an integrated sink carved into the Aria White slab. The result reads as one continuous floating piece — the integrated sink and shelf doing more for the space than a vessel ever could.

If you’re planning a pool bath or guest powder room and considering a floating piece, the Perfect Fit Countertop Quiz is a quick way to find the right material.
