The walls are covered in oversize white beadboard below a thick molding three-quarters up the wall. A soft purple hue is painted above for a look reminiscent of a cottage or modern farmhouse.

The large tub projects out into the space and is given an elegant look with a dark wood surround and an exquisite faucet.
