Natural Textures: Calm + Serene
The light, natural hues in this space create a spa-like vibe throughout. Ushering in a calm atmosphere, the sand-colored backsplash over this double vanity helps the wall to visually recede and calls into sharper contrast the vanity's pretty wood.

Bright + Bold: Forest Foliage
Deep, moody green interiors are taking the design world by storm, and bathrooms are no exception.
