Luxe® Bath Works: Over-The-Top Style Meets Form & Function


The definition of luxury is to have the indulgence of comforts and pleasures in addition to those necessary for a reasonable standard of well-being—and that is exactly how to describe Twin-Star’s new Luxe® Bath Works line that is in stock and ready to ship.

While providing function, Luxe is anything but standard. It indulges the user with premium woods, high-gloss lacquered finishes and a luxurious selection of granite, marble and quartz countertops. Whether your taste is classic, traditional or contemporary, Luxe offers a wide range of fashion forward styles that will add a touch of glamour to any master bath or powder room.

The combination of premium grade solid hardwoods and select wood veneers provide everlasting beauty and strength to each piece of Luxe bathroom furniture. But the beauty isn’t just finish deep. Luxe vanities are seamlessly assembled with fully finished interiors, have solid American maple drawers and fully concealed soft and slow-closing glides and hinges.
 
One of the many luxurious pieces for Luxe is the richly detailed Carrington collection. It is crafted of solid American cherry hardwoods and veneers with a beautiful Midnight Cherry finish and crowned with a striking black granite countertop. It has three drawers with fully concealed soft-close drawer glides and soft-close hinges and is available in either 36” or 60” widths with a coordinating mirror.
 
The Luxe Bath Works line not only provides style, but clever storage as well. The Adria vanity features elegant metal work combined with a hammered copper sink and beautifully finished wood molding which conceals its perfectly fitted drawer for smaller healthy and beauty items. If a greater amount of storage is needed, the Wallingford and Raines vanities are designed with cabinets and drawers that are ideal for organizing everything from make-up to hairdryers.  Each vanity collection also features matching double beveled mirrors to easily finish the bathroom in eye-catching style.
