The unofficial term for pairing a wood vanity with rich colors and texture? Ooh la loo! Los Angeles blogger Kelly Mindell of Studio DIY poshed hers up with shimmery green terra-cotta tile, matte pink concrete sinks from Nood Co. and gleaming accents. “There’s no reason even the most utilitarian items can’t be special,” she says.
Spa Treatment
Every day is self-care day when your bathroom has “pamper me” vibes. In this bathroom in Mendota Heights, Minnesota, designer Bria Hammel created a serenely elegant palette — black-and-white floral wallpaper, subway tile with gray grout (softer than standard white) and polished chrome. Two fluffy mats are twice as inviting as one.
Classic and Cool
For the best of both worlds, a Charlotte, North Carolina, bathroom combines a traditional legged vanity and vintage-y mirrors with superlong blue tiles in a herringbone pattern and sleek mini globe pendants from Elk Lighting. Says homebuilder Matt Connolly, “It’s striking but not out there.”
Total Mood
Romantic — but make it modern, requested the Nashville, Tennessee, homeowners. Designer Beth Haley had their vanity painted dark gray and the walls deep lavender (Soulmate by Sherwin-Williams), then mixed in black and brass finishes. “A faceted vase always adds sophistication,” she says.
Bold Statement
A dark brown vanity painted glossy candy-apple red is poptastic, but looks even more so next to dreamy wallpaper. “It’s a total ‘wow!’ ” says designer Miranda Cullen of the Denver room. Also fab: the matching wallpaper, mirror and sconce of the “his” vanity on the opposite wall, reflected in the mirror.
