We built this primary bath around one generous gesture: a deep teal shower with a tiled bench that wraps the corner and slips past the glass. Glossy 4x4 tile catches the light from the arched window, and a terracotta hex floor warms everything underfoot. A brown wood vanity, brushed gold fixtures and a black lantern give it a quiet Spanish Revival character. Below, we share each piece we chose and the thinking behind it.
