"    We&amp;#039;ve reimagined the bathroom as a glamorous getaway. The two serene spaces on the following pages may look similar, but their financials run as opposite on the balance sheet as hot and cold water. While the pampered HIGH is awash in the poshest of wares, the soothing LOW promises not to send your savings down the drain.             See the High/Low Bath and Vanity         See the High/Low Toilet         Click here to see the behind the scenes video          HIGH $18,438 Bathtub $4,250, Tub filler $4,460, Vanity $1,325, Sink $995, Mirror $1,725  LOW $6,277 Bathtub $1,500, Tub filler $1,695, Vanity $500, Sink $298, Mirror $500      Our HIGH/LOW bathroom warms up classic minimalism. Victoria+Albert&amp;#039;s freestanding Antibes tub (641/2&amp;quot;l x 291/2&amp;quot;w x 26&amp;quot;h) anchors each of our spaces: The HIGH ($4,250) has an immersive, 96-gallon capacity and soothing air jets. The equally deep LOW soaker version ($1,500) has the same modern silhouette, without the air-spa options. Dornbracht&amp;#039;s luxurious Tara Classic tub filler and shower set ($4,460) comes clad in a precious platinum finish, while Aquabrass&amp;#039;s less costly Volare floor-mount two-post tub set and hand shower ($1,695) is chrome-plated. For our vanities, we chose versatile pieces with a flirty feel.  The HIGH Bungalow5&amp;#039;s Jacqui console (47&amp;quot;l x 22&amp;quot;w x 29&amp;quot;h; $1,325) has sand-cast, oiled-bronze hardware and a lustrous finish made with ten coats of lacquer; the more moderately priced Brocade Home&amp;#039;s Silhouette console (51&amp;quot;l x 16&amp;quot;w x 30&amp;quot;h; $500) comes in a coffee-colored stain. We paired these curvaceous countertops with geometric vessel sinks. Duravit&amp;#039;s ceramic Starck 1 basin ($995) is 18 inches in diameter; its LOW sibling, Ronbow&amp;#039;s Round Ceramic Vessel sink ($298), is about three inches smaller. Dornbracht&amp;#039;s minimal Tara Classic wall-mount faucet ($1,176) is finished in platinum, while Kohler&amp;#039;s similarly spare Falling Water lavatory faucet and spout ($495) is plated in chrome.  On the wall, Oly Studio&amp;#039;s Lily mirror (34&amp;quot;w x 65&amp;quot;h; $1,725) has a hand-carved resin construction. Brocade Home&amp;#039;s LOW look-alike, the Ruffle Edge mirror (28&amp;quot;w x 70&amp;quot;h; $500), is cast in resin and is lighter weight. Both metallic frames are by Larson-Juhl: The HIGH Tresora is gilded with gleaming 12-karat white-gold leaf ($975, as shown), while the LOW Manhattan Silver ($315) is painted. We added the Designers Guild Anichov pattern for color: The HIGH version is screen-printed on cotton fabric (approx. $134/yd.), while its LOW twin is printed on wallpaper (approx. $114/roll).  Paired-down pendant lamps supply modern contrast. Artemide&amp;#039;s Castore suspension lights ($745), have mouthblown glass diffusers and a stainless-steel suspension cable. SeaGull Lighting&amp;#039;s Hanging Globe glass pendants ($196) have a similarly graphic shape.  For the finishing touches, we added Natori&amp;#039;s ruched terry microfiber Sable robe ($170), Labrazel&amp;#039;s alabaster Alisa wastebasket ($250), Waterworks&amp;#039; faceted crystal jars ($75 each) and Marc Jacobs&amp;#039;s Clare flower pot for Waterford crystal ($350). Their dollar-friendly equivalents include Pine Cone Hill&amp;#039;s Sheepy Fleece polyester bathrobe ($70), Jonathan Adler&amp;#039;s painted lacquer wastebasket ($45), English Creek Gardens&amp;#039;s glass apothecary jars ($18 each) and Waterford&amp;#039;s crystal Vintage ice bucket ($50).

LOW $5,041 Commode $391, Wall panel $678, Bookshelf $150, Mosaic floor $21/sq. ft., Wall tiles $5/sq. ft.          Architectural elements can transform any cookie-cutter water closet into an inviting escape. We set 3Form Ecoresin Kami panels in Connection (4&amp;#039;w by 8&amp;#039;h) into the ceiling and wall, to create an illusion of space with a semitranslucent design. The thick HIGH one-inch gauge screen ($1,590) needs only minimal support while the LOW 1/4-inch gauge screen ($678) of the same design must be fully framed. The panels conceal stylish commodes by Kohler. The HIGH San Raphael Dual Flush Power Lite toilet ($958) offers an eco-friendly option with an ultraefficient .2 horsepower pump and a dual-flush system that saves about 2,000 gallons of water each year. Its LOW relative, Rialto ($391), has the same low-profile design but lacks the water-saving features. For the perfect backdrop, Ann Sacks offers classic white subway tiles.  The HIGH Elements tiles (from $21/sq. ft.) are handmade in the company&amp;#039;s Portland, Oregon, factory, while the LOW Mayfair tiles (from $5/sq. ft.) are made by machine. For a touch of luxury on the floor, we added the warmth and texture of mosaics from Artistic Tile. Our HIGH, Pacifica ($70/sq. ft.), combines rare marble and quartz, which are sourced as far afield as China, Greece and Brazil, into a labor-intensive design. The LOW Brushetta mosaic ($21/sq. ft.) is made from Italian limestone, which is a less demanding material for craftsmen to cut and finish.  To take advantage of unused vertical space, skinny bookshelves do the trick. The HIGH, a 1989 design by John Kandell for K\u00E4llemo, in solid birch and oak, is 80 inches tall ($920), while its LOW kissing cousin, the Array bookcase by Bruno Rainaldi, is made of lighter-weight laser-cut steel (60&amp;#039;&amp;#039;h, $150). Calvin Klein provides our selection of luxurious bath towels. The HIGH Lush ($40) is a patented Japanese no-twist cotton, while the LOW Embroidered Edge ($20) is woven from combed Egyptian cotton. For another space-saving device, we selected three-in-one nesting tables that can fold away. Our HIGH, from Aaron R. Thomas ($1,475), are thick, 3/4-inch gauge acrylic, while our LOW, the Peekaboo nesting tables from CB2 ($199), are 1/3-inch gauge.  The HIGH vase from Global Table is smothered in handmade porcelain flowers ($350), while its equally stunning LOW equivalent by Property features a single-flower motif ($150). Simon Pearce&amp;#039;s Hartland and Pomfret solid crystal candlesticks ($315) are mouthblown and hand-polished. For a fraction of that price, CB2 provides two Lumiere candlesticks, which are handblown from beaker glass and hollow-stemmed ($5 and $4).
