TALL ORDER
One way to help tall people feel at home is to raise vanities—like this one featuring Brizo fixtures—for comfort.
Grace Interiors. Both she and her husband are tall, but in their area of Chicago, Wegman says, “You don’t really have the option to make bathrooms very big.” Wegman loves that they have 16-foot-tall ceilings in their general living area, but the bedrooms and baths don’t reach that high. Thus, her only option was to create the illusion of more space. She points to the shower, which is only about seven feet tall but appears much taller. She accomplished this by placing the Brizo fixtures on a wall of vertical lines, designed to trick the eye. Another trick—and more beautiful Brizo hardware—can be found at the vanities. Wegman went with 36-inch high vanities to bring the surfaces up to the couple’s comfort level. And eliminating the need to stoop over is a great first step toward helping a tall person feel unconfined. So, even if you don’t have the wherewithal to embed a showerhead in your ceiling or rearrange your bath and dressing room under a soaring roof, it turns out a few verti- cal lines and raised vanities might be enough to fill your tall order. ”We love the space,” says Wegman. “It feels com- pletely customized to our needs and has been functioning exactly how we hoped it would.” ■
If you want to make a smaller shower feel elongated, try placing fixtures, like these by Brizo , against a wall of vertical lines.
