A New Twist on a Classic by Moya Donnellan
A timeless mix of black, red and white in a small half bath.
This half bath is a new take on a timeless interior color scheme and materials selection. The focal point of the powder room is the blood-red wall constructed from painted wood moldings. These are assembled in a wide repeat for maximum textural impact. The black, white-veined, ceramic marble tile forms a backsplash and wainscoting accented with a matte chair rail and a white high gloss pencil and provides a great counterpoint to the red wall. Black and white cement floor tile design set on the diagonal accentuates the red wall and white ceramic Kohler fixtures. The room also makes use of the use of matte and shine: a matte ceramic “marble” wall tile and cement floor tile with polished nickel faucets and light fixtures.

Old technique, new approach
Graphic patterned tiled floor paired with blood red wall
The floor is a combination of an antique pattern and encaustic technique with a modern color scheme. Encaustic cement tile is extremely durable with the surface pattern being 2-3mm thick. The pattern is a combination of the fleur-de-lis and a Maltese cross motif. Tilework is finished with a matte sealer to coordinate with the matte black “marble” tilework.

Guest bath drawing
The drawing below represents the second phase of the tile design for the bathroom which, in this case, is a walk-in shower. The illustration shows a to-scale rendering including the use of the Mexican tile with patterns mixed with solid cobalt which was selected during the initial design phase.

A play of pattern and solid in this Mexican Talavera tile bathroom
This guest bathroom has a vintage feel with its wainscoting, champagne-tinged beaded mirrored cabinet and shell pendant light fixture. The focus of the room is on the main wall of the walk-in shower, which uses a multi-patterned and solid mix of Mexican tile. The chair rail and round pencil-shaped tiles provide dimensional finishing details. The pebble floor echoes the cobalt and aqua tiles used on the walls.

Master Bath Vanity Niche
COPPER AND WOOD CONTRAST WITH MULTI-COLORED MEXICAN TILE
The custom dark wood and copper top vanity unit is set into a niche of Mexican tile wainscoting. The main area of the wall is in a cobalt and white star tile with a multi-color diagonally placed tile with pattern border backsplash and cobalt chair rail. The walls are painted to match the ground of the star tile for a sense of continuity.
Faucets are antique-inspired oiled bronze with cross handles placed into the wall. The mirror and faceted light fixtures are trimmed in oiled bronze to evoke a sense of antiquity. The final touch in this master bathroom design is provided with light fixtures with antique reproduction light bulbs for a honeyed effect.
