A Modern, Black & White Primary Bath in Franklin

The Franklin primary bath arrived at Sebring Design Build as a room caught in a previous era: a bulky jetted tub surrounded by plain tile, a layout that prioritized square footage over function, and fixtures that communicated nothing in particular. The remodel began with a commitment to the opposite of all of that. Clean lines. A palette committed entirely to black and white. Every element selected to serve that discipline without exception.

Bellmont Cabinetry Series 1600 in the Studio door style and White Painted finish sets the room's foundation. The Studio profile is flat and frameless, a door style with no raised panel, no carved detail, nothing that softens the line. That is precisely the right choice for a bath organized around modern restraint. The white finish keeps the cabinetry light and luminous, allowing the Matte Black hardware and fixtures to carry the room's defining contrast.

Cambria Deligatie quartz in a Polished finish on the countertop extends the white palette to the horizontal surface with a material that carries enough tonal movement to prevent the room from reading as stark. Polished Cambria at the countertop beside Matte Black Kohler Pivotal fixtures introduces a deliberate interplay between reflective and absorptive finishes, a quality that gives the room visual depth without requiring additional color.

Kohler Pivotal is the correct fixture collection for this bath. Its square geometry, clean edges, and absence of ornament make it one of the most architecturally resolved modern faucet and shower programs available. Matte Black as a finish reads as confident rather than cold in a room where every other surface is white or near-white. The Amerock Bar Pull in Matte Black at the cabinetry repeats that finish at the scale of the hardware, carrying the contrast down to the most frequently touched surfaces in the room.

The MTI Andrea soaking tub in white serves as the room's focal element, its clean rectangular profile at home in a modern bath without requiring anything around it to be severe. The tile program completes the room's character. Daltile Portfolio 6 x 24 matte porcelain in PF09 on the floor grounds the room in a cool, dark tone. Ceramic Tiles International Expressions Daylight 4 x 12 polished porcelain covers the shower walls in a clean, structured field. The MSI Kenzzi Paloma 8 x 8 matte porcelain in white and black introduces the room's most visually complex element: a graphic pattern tile used as an accent that expresses the black-and-white direction at its most explicit. Island Stone Random Cobbles grey marble pebble tile on the shower floor introduces natural texture underfoot, the one organic material in a room otherwise built on precision.

The bath that replaced the original is one that rewards the homeowner who chose it: a room that feels as considered at the end of the day as it does at the beginning of it.
