Blending the homeowners’ existing furnishings into a new home creates an opportunity to forge a transitional, tastefully curated style, and that was the task at hand for interior designer Annie O’Carroll when she signed on to design this Santa Fe new build. In the primary bathroom, that meant making selections that would feel cohesive with the rest of the home. She opted for traditional-leaning elements such as the faucets and maple cabinets for the floating vanity. But she customized the space and gave it real pizazz by wrapping the vanity on all four sides with the quartzite countertop material for visual interest, plus an oversized mirror hiding two medicine cabinets, striking fused glass cylinder pendants and a showstopping feature wall of herringbone mosaic tile that flows into the skylight niche above. “It’s a marriage of function, beauty and dramatic elements,” she says. “There’s drama in the view, of course, but also in the tile going all the way up that wall.”
