We wanted this primary bath to feel classic with a confident splash of color. White subway tile climbs the shower in a herringbone pattern, and a royal blue hex floor wraps up onto a long built-in bench that runs right past the glass. Wood-look plank floors warm up the room, while a midnight blue Shaker vanity and oil-rubbed bronze fixtures give it timeless farmhouse character. Below, we share each piece we chose and the thinking behind it.
