The details are what bring a space from functional to inviting! Not to mention shopping for these pieces can be a lot of fun! The inspiration for the “feel” of the space came from an artist I follow on Instagram, Hannah Winters. Her landscape paintings are absolutely stunning and put me at ease every time I look at them. I knew I had to have her work in this space and so I invested in two of her ‘hillside’ series prints during her end of the year sale. From here, all the accents in the room aimed at being cohesive with the art.
I am a HUGE fan of frames from Target. Our master bathroom has a large layout and the black tile floors are a statement in themselves, so I aimed to incorporate darker tones into the décor in small ways. The frames I used are a thinner frame to bring a more modern element to these traditional prints. The other elements I used to balance the dark tones throughout the space are the faux rubber tree from Pottery Barn and my soap dispensers. The current hand soap (and candle) I am using is a splurge from Pendry Hotels. The have a signature scent my husband and I immediately became obsessed with and we order refills as gifts for each other throughout the year.
After balancing the light and dark elements in the room, I went for pieces to add warmth and an organic component to the space. Choosing a rug was the hardest part of this entire project! Originally I thought I needed a smaller rug in front of the tub, and then a longer runner in front of the vanity. But by using other rugs around my house to test out different configurations, I realized placing a bath rug in front of the tub was one element too many in the space. So I used these low-pile, warm, neutral bath rug from the Hearth and Hand with Magnolia collection at Target. I love the feel of them under my feet and the small tassel detail. I also scooped up this warm-tone wood stool for next to the tub at the same time! I love that if I ever wanted to change this out, this table could literally go anywhere in my house and still work.
The laundry hamper was actually the very first piece I bought for this bathroom when we moved in. Hands down this is THE BEST hamper I have ever owned. It is a space-saver, sturdy, and each side of the hamper holds an entire laundry basket worth of clothes! We use one side for lights and one for darks – the perfect item for functional beauty! Not to mention, I always looking for ways to incorporate seagrass baskets for a modern coastal feel. 🙂
Lastly, by now you might have noticed a love a good faux fern! I used the small fern from Threshold’s latest line with Studio McGee at Target to center the vanity and placed it in a marble tray from Crate and Barrel I got a while back. From a daily use standpoint, I love having the tray on the vanity to hold soaps, lotions, and a place to set my jewelry or contact case at the end of the day. Not to mention, all these pieces can be beautiful elsewhere in my home if next year I am feeling the need to refresh this space!
