Master Bath with Sun Tunnel and Japanese Soaking Tub in Chatham, NJ

This Chatham, NJ master bathroom transformation tackled a unique design challenge—creating a bright and airy feel in a space without windows. The solution? A strategically placed sun tunnel over the Japanese soaking tub, bringing natural light into the room while mimicking the glow of the moon at night. The result is a serene, spa-like retreat that blends modern efficiency with warm, organic textures.

A carefully curated mix of materials enhances the bathroom’s tranquility. Rich wood cabinetry adds warmth, complemented by soft, textured wall tiles that create visual interest without overwhelming the space. The wall-hung European toilet maximizes floor space while maintaining a sleek, minimalist aesthetic, making the room feel more expansive. Soft, ambient lighting further enhances the atmosphere, allowing for a relaxing and restorative experience at any time of day.

The walk-in shower is designed for both function and style, featuring floor-to-ceiling neutral-toned tiles and a seamless glass enclosure that maintains an open and inviting feel. Thoughtful details such as built-in niches for candles and spa essentials add both convenience and luxury. The pebble-textured tub surround further connects the space to nature, reinforcing the calming, Zen-like ambiance.

With every design choice, this project embraces a balance of beauty and practicality. The integration of space-saving elements, natural textures, and innovative lighting solutions makes this bathroom an ideal retreat, proving that even windowless spaces can feel open, bright, and rejuvenating.
