We wanted this little ADU bath to feel warm and sun-baked, like the California desert in a small footprint. Sandy concrete-tone tile wraps the walls, a beige marble-look floor keeps things soft, and brushed gold ties the faucet, shower, mirror and light together. A floating oak vanity keeps the floor open, and a full alcove tub makes room for a real soak. Terracotta pots and succulents bring in the clay. Below, we share each piece we chose and the thinking behind it.
