Simple, pared-back interiors go a long way towards creating a sense of serenity.

With its modern classic furniture, concealed window treatments and suspended ceiling, this master bedroom is a fine example.

Architect James LaRue and interior designer Paula Ables collaborated on the design of the suite, which is in a new house built in the Texas hill country contemporary style.

"The dropped ceiling appears to float within the room," says LaRue. "It conceals services, creates an interesting shadow reveal, and accommodates a variety of mood lighting, including LED strips and downlights."

Ables says the tranquil look is also enhanced by the muted neutral color palette.

"The bathroom, however, needed to be an event' in the words of the owners. They wanted this room to deliver something quite special."

With this in mind, the team created a large multi-spray shower. This is fully glazed so the owners can look right out through a large window to an attractive landscape.

"The owners liked the idea of having individual shower fittings, which are defined by mosaic tiled columns featuring a colorful mix of ZD Cashmere glass and stone mosaics."
