Natural Textures: Calm + Serene

Bright + Bold: Classically Modern

From: Brian Patrick Flynn

Bright + Bold: Forest Foliage

Deep, moody green interiors are taking the design world by storm, and bathrooms are no exception.

Terrazzo: Covered in Speckles

This bathroom takes the terrazzo trend to new heights by incorporating Dzek's Marmoreal, a large aggregate terrazzo designed by Max Lamb, as the vanity, sink and shower. Matte black fixtures against the light terrazzo add contrast and sophistication.

Terrazzo: Blushing Bathroom

There's a wide variety of options for the color and size of the flecks of terrazzo, which means terrazzo can be subtle or it can be quite bold. This space incorporates speckled pink terrazzo, creating a stunning and completely unqiue look.
