We wanted this primary bath to feel sunny and full of old-world charm. White subway tile keeps it bright, a Talavera niche adds cobalt, and terracotta-red floors warm the room. A light oak double vanity gives two people their own space. Below, we share each piece we chose and the thinking behind it.
