Recently completed, this Minneapolis basement remodel by NewStudio includes a new full bathroom with sauna. Special care was taken in making the space feel comfortable and clean—key for a basement—while also presenting a quality of detail and materials consistent with the home’s early 20th century craftsmanship.

Shown in the photo above, the new bathroom vanity features a marble hex tile floor, tile wainscot, and beadboard walls. The sink is an updated take on the classic console, while matte black hardware throughout adds a modern touch to the space. A frosted glass window insert above the sink disguises the glass block behind while also providing access for cleaning.
