I previously shared the “before” photos and our overall plans for the master bathroom; now it’s time to reveal the design. Because this bathroom sits directly off our bedroom, I wanted to carry some of those warm tones into the space while introducing a contrasting color so the room wouldn’t feel monochromatic. The solution: a bold, saturated green paired with the existing pink accents. The result is lively, layered, and cheerful—exactly what I was aiming for. Below are the main elements we selected to bring the concept to life.
Tambora Hook | Face 1 by Justina Blakeney | Mabel Toggle Knob
Agave Towel | Bronze Faucet
Pivot Mirror | Secret Lagoon Tile
Hex Clip Tile | Natural Cotton Bath Towel
Amalfi Coast Series #1 by Jeff Mindell | Bowl Basin Sink
Tiered Hanging Baskets | Pink Sconce | Double Vanity Base
We went bold with the tile choices. The entire shower and half of the back wall are clad in Secret Lagoon Zellige tile from Cle Tile. Because each piece is handmade and slightly irregular, the finished wall has beautiful depth and movement—exactly the kind of texture a colorful space needs. It’s already installed and the effect is stunning. For the floor, we chose Cle’s Hex Clip tile in mocha and barn, a soft pale pink with a rusty edge that coordinates with the other colors in the room. The pattern we’re laying out enhances the vintage-modern vibe and ties the palette together.
To add contrast and a sculptural touch, we ordered concrete basin sinks from Nood Co. Their pastel-toned concrete basins are an easy, unexpected way to introduce color and shape to the vanity area without overwhelming the design. Paired with the handmade tiles and warm metal finishes, the sinks help balance the room’s playful and refined elements.
Natural light was a major goal for this update. The bathroom originally had no daylight, so we added four sources of natural light, including two VELUX sun tunnel skylights. These sun tunnels are a great solution for bringing daylight into compact spaces; one sits above the shower and beautifully illuminates the green tiles, making their color read richer and more dynamic. We’re also installing a custom sconce from Sazerac Stitches, designed to complement the room’s layered finishes and add a soft glow for evenings.
There are a lot of hardware options on the table, and I’m waiting until more elements are in place before making final selections. I’m considering adding wicker caning or webbing to the vanity fronts in place of the current slats to introduce texture and a warm, natural feel. If anyone has experience with that approach, tips would be welcome—the look could be so striking if it works.

I’ll post a progress update next week with a few questions and to show how things are coming together. For now, this gives a clear look at the palette, materials, and fixtures guiding the final reveal. I can’t wait to share the finished room with you!
