We love how a mid-century bath can feel both warm and wide awake, and we wanted to share the way we'd put this one together. Light from a high clerestory window falls across walnut, brushed brass and a wall of sunny yellow tile, while a speckled terrazzo look keeps the floor soft and bright. Round mirrors, globe sconces and a floating vanity give the room an easy rhythm, a sanctuary for two at the start of every day. Below, we share each piece we chose and the thinking behind it.
