The team designed a new passageway with angled walls that includes a scalloped painted wood surface, that allows the spaces to transition. &#8220;This approach was very successful at integrating the existing steps between the spaces and was the key to create both separation and aesthetic appeal without dividing the spaces with walls or doors,&#8221; Wade notes. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"685\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/KW8-685x1024.png\" alt class=\"wp-image-97677\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/KW8-685x1024.png 685w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/KW8-201x300.png 201w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/KW8-768x1148.png 768w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/KW8.png 962w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 685px) 100vw, 685px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"685\" height=\"1024\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20685%201024%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt class=\"wp-image-97677 lazyload\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20685%201024%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 685w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 685px) 100vw, 685px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/KW8-685x1024.png 685w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/KW8-201x300.png 201w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/KW8-768x1148.png 768w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/KW8.png 962w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/KW8-685x1024.png\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A freestanding tub in the primary bathroom is from Victoria+Albert and the side table is by Bari Ziperstein found at The Spartan Shop.
