A subdued grey-and-white palette in the master ensuite is enlivened by multiple tile patterns. "I like to bring in dynamism and textural interest through materials," says Sarah. Carrara marble, a penny-round pattern on the wall behind the sink, and different patterns in the shower and on the floor make "your eye work a little harder to seek out the detail," she says. The oversize sconces create a statement. "They're not something you'd usually see in a bathroom."

Lovely, Sarah. You really are branching out bringing in that purple hit. It's exciting and will be a great colour to live with. How could you not smile going into that room?
I think Sarah went a little loud with colour this time....not typical of her creamy-serene-like palette....it's much more sophisticated and will stand the test of time. I hope Sarah isn't changing her style to ultra-modern wackiness....it just doesn't suit her...and besides, she's become famous because of her neutral quiet style...wouldn't want to see her go the other way.
I want a room just like this I love purple walls and furniture, I just have to print a copy of this and put it on my vision board
I love this room, I was just reading the newsletter and the picture caught my eye. How wonderful, clean and fresh Purple is my favour colour I just have to have this picture to put on my VISION BOARD
As a decorator, I love Sarah's enthusiasm and bold direction. It is always nice to venture outside of the box, even as a designer. It's fun to experiment and see where the road takes you, and I think Sarah captures it with style. By Sheryl on 2008 10 09

I applaud Sarah for branching out and going a little bit beyond her serene rooms that we are used to. It shows that no matter what your design style is it never hurts to show a little cheekiness and still be able to be very elegant and timeless. Shelley Bresett
Does anyone know where to buy the round mirror in the master ensuite bathroom, we'd love to get one !
I'am big fan of Sarah Richardson, i love her bold colors and bright idears. How could you want to leave that room after entering,she is a great inspiration to me.

I would love to know what that paint colour is, as I'm doing my living room and have grey furniture already... was thinking of just using purple as accent on cushions, etc., but daughter loves purple walls and it might work for us. Can you tell me what paint manufacturer/colour number you used?
