Primary Focus: Bathroom Designer in Los Angeles Area

The modern bathroom has evolved far beyond its simple utilitarian origins. Today, it serves as a vital private space for wellness, recovery, and quiet reflection away from the busy outside world. At Magali Sonterre, we treat these spaces as light-filled personal sanctuaries. As an interior design studio dedicated to shaping calm, private sanctuaries, we use clean lines, natural stones, and highly detailed custom woodwork to create peaceful, elegant spaces that elevate your everyday routine.

Designing a luxury bathroom requires finding the perfect balance between durable, moisture-resistant surfaces and warm, inviting design. We achieve this balance by using authentic materials that look better as they age. Rather than using standard polished chrome and shiny artificial tiles, we prefer hand-cut limestones, raw travertines, and unlacquered plumbing fixtures that develop a beautiful, natural character.

In our interior design studio, we look closely at how natural light moves through a home, positioning windows, showers, and tubs so they feel connected to the outdoors while maintaining absolute privacy.

"A bathroom should be a sensory reset. We create quiet, beautiful spaces where natural stone, water, and soft light come together seamlessly."

We design primary bathrooms, powder rooms, and guest suites with a deep focus on custom details and structural elegance:

 

  • We design vanities from scratch using white oak, walnut, or hand-painted wood to look like freestanding antique chests rather than boxy cabinets.

  • We source unique stone blocks for custom-carved sinks, integrated shower benches, and beautiful tub surrounds.

  • We select hand-glazed ceramic tiles with subtle variations in shape and color, adding an authentic, human touch to walls and floors.

  • We design concealed outlets, built-in storage niches, and warm under-floor heating systems to keep the space clean, organized, and comfortable.

For us, there's no difference if we’re opening up a bright primary bath in a mid-century home or designing a quiet, moody powder room for a historic estate, our focus is always on making the new space feel like it belongs to the original house.

Working together with our studio as your bathroom interior designer is a deeply collaborative process, resulting in a restful, enduring space that brings true comfort and harmony to your daily routine.
