West Coast Wellness: Biophilic Bathroom
The half bath is a dreamy retreat, with Navy Blue Onyx floors and vanity, illuminated by a cloud of tulips. A Murano glass sink in creams and grays, reminiscent of a seashell’s interior, adds a sense of ceremony to hand washing. A small bundle of dogwood with blooms reflective of the lighting overhead sits by the sink, in a coppery glass vessel. The overhead lights were made with an eco resin, with petals hand splayed to mimic the natural variations found in blooming flowers. A small trinket dish designed by Michael Aram features a butterfly handle made from the shape of ginkgo leaves. Pattern tiles made in part with recycled materials line the walls, creating a field of flowers. The textural tiling adds interest, while the white color leaves a simple backdrop for the bathroom's decorative elements. A contemporary toilet with copper flush, selected for its minimal water waste. The floor was laid with minimal cuts in the navy blue onyx for a near-seamless pattern. The same onyx carries onto the vanity, casings, and baseboards.
