Extending Cambria from the shower bench to the ceiling shows off the movement rich tone-on-tone veining of gray and honey hues. Cambria design shown: Everleigh Warm™
As CEO and Creative Director of O’Hara Interiors, Kate O’Hara and her team have delivered beautiful spaces to many homeowners. And when it came to transforming her personal bathroom into a spa-like oasis, she asked colleague Tatum Madden to lead the design. “Working with Tatum was easy because she is so poised and particular,” says O’Hara.
In this project, functionality was addressed by expanding the shower and reorienting the tub and vanity. A restorative sense of calm is achieved through materiality, including Cambria quartz surfaces throughout—a 1cm application for the shower and a chunkier vanity top. “We fell in love,” says Madden of the Everleigh Warm quartz design. “It has that warmth we were looking for; it has subtle veining; it isn’t too loud.”
How does it feel to lead O’Hara Interiors?
Leading O’Hara Interiors feels personal. I grew up alongside the firm, and it is my family. My mother built this business through pure standards: taste, relationships, and a deep respect for the craft.
What were your goals for the project?
I wanted clean lines and strong materials, with a lot of visual quiet. I wanted the room to feel warm and spa-like without leaning on textiles or busy finishes.
What most needed to change?
The old bathroom had a built-in whirlpool tub that was awkward to get in and out of. It took up an absurd amount of space, leaving only enough room for a small shower. That completely killed the idea of the bathroom feeling restorative.
Why choose Cambria over other materials?
I wanted an elevated material that could also perform. I wanted the surfaces to stay crisp and beautiful without feeling fragile.
What drew you to this design?
Everleigh Warm hit the exact tone I wanted: warm, grounded, and tailored. When I was looking at slabs, I felt like Goldilocks. Marble ran too cool. Quartzite leaned too pink. I wanted warmth that still read sophisticated and neutral. I loved installing the Cambria vertically. The design pattern gives the shower a sculptural feeling.
At the vanity, integrated sinks in Cambria Everleigh Warm contribute to a sense of continuity in the overall design.
Tell us about your beautiful pup.
My yellow lab, Finn, lives like he owns the place (he basically does). So, I planned the shower with him in mind.
What is the O’Hara Interiors approach to projects?
We care about the big picture and the tiny details, because they both matter. A space can look beautiful and still be frustrating to live in. We design around real routines. And then we obsess over proportion and material choices, because that is what makes a room feel finished.
Anything else to share about this process?
This renovation improved my life more than I expected. It feels good every day. When I think of luxury, I think of spaces that support you—where you walk in and your body relaxes.
