We love how a little retro color can make a small bath feel joyful, and we wanted to share the way we'd put this one together. Soft daylight through a frosted window falls across light pink squares and settles into the white tub. A floating walnut vanity, brushed nickel and a crisp black and white floor keep the palette grounded and fresh, a cheerful daily ritual for guests and family alike. Below, we share each piece we chose and the thinking behind it.
