It’s not often that an interior stops me in my tracks. Having the privilege of exploring beautiful homes daily, I’ve become accustomed to seeing enviable designs of every kind. Yet when I came across a decadent, luxury bathroom layered with sumptuous textures and anchored by a show-stopping lighting fixture, I couldn’t help but pause – my day instantly brightened.
A little digging revealed the lucky owner: none other than Jennifer Aniston. The space is a masterful homage to both past and present design, blending textures, art, and carefully chosen artefacts in a way that feels effortlessly cohesive despite their deliberately contrasting styles.
From the abstract expressionist painting by midcentury artist Adolph Gottlieb to the striking Art Deco light that casts a warm, inviting glow, every element has been thoughtfully considered. Confident, layered, and impeccably curated, this bathroom is the work of interior designer Stephen Shadley, whose expert hand brings every detail into perfect harmony.

While some might shy away from fusing Art Deco designs with more contemporary ones, Stephen Shadley seems to always rise to the occasion.
Featuring a cleverly illuminated orange onyx sink (that I've never wanted more) and an endless array of thoughtful pieces that each have a purpose, the bathroom is a refreshingly decadent room that makes the simple act of washing your hands feel like an absolute delight.
Rustic in both shape and surface, this charming table vase will bring subtle depth to your bathroom, no matter its style. Place it beside your sink and fill it with flowers, or keep it tucked in a corner like Jennifer's space for a subtle dose of the past that'll shine forever.
While we aren't all able to install an onyx sink, it's worth knowing that a marble tray creates a similarly elegant feel without breaking the bank. Use it for soap or to hold your toothbrush pot; this charming tray will uplift your sink setup in a heartbeat.
Undeniably luxurious, give your bathroom some glamour in homage of Jennifer's space with this cylindrical design inspired by Art Deco fixtures. With its ribbed glass shape and gold accents, it's a contemporary yet sympathetic take on historic lighting styles.
Thoughtful details are always important. While the foundations are what make a bathroom truly great, the charming accessories play a big part, too. Take this tealight holder, minimal in shape, it'll uplift your sink area with subtle shine, just like Jennifer's.
Jennifer's bathroom proudly features a striking Adolph Gottlieb painting. In unison with the orange onyx, the picture shines in all its glory, contrasting beautifully against the dark walnut walls. To recreate the look, opt for a minimal design similar in color palette, like this 'Square Sunrise' painting by artist Robert Kamnatnik.
Wood is a clever way to balance the newer, starker details in a bathroom, like tiled surfaces and porcelain sinks. While it's an overlooked bathroom material, it brings a lived-in warmth and depth to a washing station. To recreate the luxurious feel of Jennifer's space, add this wooden serving tray to your sink and use it to house your go-to toiletries.
A modern bathroom with a twist, Jennifer's impressive space is a lesson in fearless design that fuses periods, styles, and materials in the best possible way.
