Homeowners’ request. “The client loved the color blue, so we incorporated that in each of the four bathrooms we designed,” designer Melinda Wolrab says.
Great idea. Geometric-patterned tile feature in the shower. “The client saw this tile on one of our shopping trips and fell in love,” Wolrab says. “We decided the mosaic was very busy for such a small space to have everywhere, so we created the small inset in order to incorporate the feature.”
Other special features. Brass bath fittings and accessories. Imported Italian marble wall and tub-surround tile.
Designer secret. “Use a neutral palette with a pop of color to create an impact in a small space,” Wolrab says. “And have a few complementary feature moments. Here we used the vanity and the mosaic inset as our star moments.”
“Uh-oh” moment. “Waiting and waiting for the carton of Dolomite marble tile to arrive from Italy,” Wolrab says. “Luckily our client was very patient and willing to wait for this beautiful stone.”
