Dwelling enchancment: When designing a toilet, select the tile first
When designing a shower, Caroline Hughes begins with the tile. “Visually, it’s the first element,” says the principal of C.B. Hughes Design. For this little woman’s rest room in Wellesley, ceramic tiles in a refined shade of blush, which Hughes put in vertically, make the area really feel each trendy and heat, in addition to refined and candy. “The juxtaposition of the basic cabinetry and the fashionable stacked tiles retains the area feeling recent,” Hughes says.
1 Hughes selected easy white marble for the bathe curb and bench so it wouldn’t compete with the daring countertop. The identical goes for the white porcelain ground tiles.
2 Equipe Cerámicas tiles from Finest Tile in Dedham have a home made look. “If laid in a brick sample, they’d look very basic, so we flipped and stacked them,” Hughes says.
3 Interested in the scalloped silhouette, she appropriated the mirror from one other room. As for the Mitzi wall lights, the designer says, “Once we noticed the scallop detailing of the sconces, we couldn’t resist them.”
4 Having fallen for the daring veining and pink undertones of the Arabescato marble remnant, Hughes was thrilled that it was massive sufficient to high the self-importance. “It truly is the star of the toilet,” Hughes says.
5 She paired oil-rubbed bronze knobs with brass plumbing fixtures and door {hardware}. “I like to combine metals as a result of it makes areas look thought-out as an alternative of pulled from a catalog,” Hughes says. “Brass appears to be like stunning with different heat steel finishes.”
6 The white oak self-importance from Kramer’s Customized Kitchens and Woodworking in Sudbury brings an earthy heat to the area.
