Classic Bathroom in an Eclectic Home

My client MB contacted me last winter about her bathroom. She is overwhelmed by the many options available and needed some help choosing finishes. Her home is filled to the brim with sunny colors, eclectic artwork and furnishings, stacks and stacks of books, and dozens of animals. She wanted a bathroom that would fit with the style of the home, but how could I not add some color? And storage...that was a must!

Rather than a store-bought vanity, I designed cabinetry that would fill the space and give the family of three room for toiletries, laundry and anything else that might land in this first floor bath. Taking color cues from the glass mosaics, I had the cabinet maker finish the cabinet in a gray-green with a subtle gray glaze. MB chose chrome fixtures, but with the deeper tones in the mosaics I suggested oil rubbed bronze hardware for the cabinetry, just to mix it up. White tiles, gray grout and a carrara marble vanity top contrast the cabinetry, and the walls and ceiling are painted the same neutral—not beige, not yellow, not green, not gray—Benjamin Moore Camouflage, which actually makes the small room feel larger than it would had we painted the ceiling white.

The family loves it!
