Shop the Look / 36

We imagined this primary bath as a calm, classic retreat built around the bay window. Slate-blue walls wrap the room, a deep soaking tub sits right in the light, and a black and white checker floor adds a little drama. Warm brass, matte black and woven textures keep it relaxed and inviting. Below, we share each piece we chose and the thinking behind it.
