This main floor bathroom renovation is soft, subtle and strong with its blend of both style and function. A porcelain octagon mosaic floor with a soft taupe accent welcomes the original reglazed cast iron tub and provides a durable foundation for the room while remembering its origins. The brass console, with a deep integrated sink and its coordinating faucet, opens the space in the room to give it an airy and classic feel and serves as a towel bar when needed. The smooth gray wainscoting greets the palette of blue willowberry leaves in the wallcovering and winks at its light taupe berries and gold stems. Leather-wrapped brass sconces hug the arched beveled mirror above the console. The shower walls are drenched in deep blue textured ceramic tiles with brass trim for a soothing and well-appointed bath experience.

Why the judges love it:

The color chosen for the brass fixtures is pulled directly from the wallpaper, creating a strong sense of intention in its complementary palette.  However, the details remain surprising, with leather covered sconces being a unique and functional design choice that still manages to work with the color scheme.
