Garden Party Guest Bath

The project team’s clients desired a bright, cozy powder bath. Inspired by the creams and soft sage-green accents throughout the clients’ main floor, the design team selected an overscaled, soft-looking floral wallcovering to match. They carried the soft pink to the ceiling, adding 12 inches of mauve-colored crown molding to create a cozier feel. The Taj Mahal countertop helps bring cream, pink and green tones to the space. An unusual pink-and-green floral agate door pull continues the color scheme.

To help increase light output, they embedded a gold-toned floral vanity light into the mirror, playing off the floral wallcovering. The translucent Kohler undermount sink and square floating vanity also add light. When guests enter, their feet trigger the sink and under-cabinet lighting, automatically brightening the space.

The project’s main challenge was lighting the vanity and concealing the plumbing, wiring and stored items while maintaining color harmony with the sink basin.  A collaborative effort with the trades led to the creation of a secret interior box with removable walls.
