This bathroom makes a compelling argument against demanding too much attention from the bones of a room.
Neutral woods, softly gleaming champagne-toned fixtures and understated tile establish a versatile foundation rather than a highly prescribed look. “Understated elegance does not depend on loud colors or dramatic eye-popping colors,” says Deborah Short, owner of Vineyard Homes LLC. “You can change the look of the bathroom with colors or furniture, or you can leave it neutral and calm.”
That adaptability may prove more enduring than any statement-making finish. Its neutral foundation allows the interior to evolve alongside the people who use it.
