My cousin Pamela lives in a big old historic house in Summit, NJ. It’s
got lots of period-appropriate touches, but my favorite is her downstairs
bathroom. It's tiny, but covered
in this rich red wallpaper patterned with gold flowers. All the fixtures are
gold too, and probably vintage, as is the big mirror. And the whole room is
framed in creamy white molding.
It works because of the scale of the room. The deep color and bold
paper design would be overwhelming in a large room, but in a small bathroom you
don’t spend much time in, it’s wonderfully dramatic.
This deep blue is a slightly more modern interpretation of Pamela’s
bathroom, with similar molding. I love the contrast that the dark brown vanity
provides.
.
Graphic black and white is great- minus that intensely 90’s black
toilet seat cover! This could make a great bachelor or bachelorette pad
bathroom, depending on how you accessorized.
I have harbored an obsession
with this bathroom for awhile now. I love this almost-neon wallpaper,
especially contrasted with the mother-of-pearl tiles. Bright, beautiful, and
feminine.
If you’re a little faint of heart, neutral patterned wallpaper boxed in
by white paneling might be the way to go. I love the sharp way the mirror
stands out.
If you’re interested in getting the look at home, Quadrille, Layla Grace, and Scalamandre are great sources for unique
and beautiful prints.
