Hamptons Showhouse 2019: Whimsical Coastal Elegance in a Compact Space

Compact in nature yet oversized in design, this forty-square-foot bathroom in the prestigious Hampton Designer Showhouse 2019 packs a visual punch and delivers LGC Interiors' signature "sophisticated whimsy" style. With a thoughtfully curated color palette drawn from its coastal Southampton location, this garden-level space masterfully demonstrates how a small bathroom can become a luxurious retreat that balances form and function.

Anchored by the warm wood tones of a custom vanity crafted by Ciuffo Cabinetry, Lori Miller wrapped this functional "Jack and Jill" bathroom in a captivating blue and white wallcovering, creating a crisp visual contrast that evokes dreams of sun-drenched days spent under Southampton's blue skies. The intricate pattern adds dimension without overwhelming the intimate space, a hallmark of Lori's approach to small-space luxury design.

Adding to the room's modern coastal sensibility, a trio of sculptural butterfly mirrors from Phillips Collection appears to float through the space in an airy flight of fancy. This unexpected artistic touch sits confidently outside traditional Hamptons design conventions while still honoring the natural beauty of the location. Premium fixtures from Circa Lighting illuminate the space with a soft glow, while high-end hardware from Forbes & Lomax adds polished sophistication.

This showhouse bathroom exemplifies Lori Miller's talent for transforming modest spaces into memorable design moments that feel simultaneously luxurious and playful. The thoughtful balance of textures, patterns, and unexpected elements creates a bathroom that transcends its small footprint, offering visitors a glimpse into the transformative possibilities of intentional interior design.
