How Knockout Colour And Pattern Can Actually Bring Serenity To A Bathroom
This gorgeous, jewel-like bathroom by designer Patti Wilson proves that even when your budget isn’t huge, there’s no reason you can’t go big on design drama. What makes this bathroom a gem isn’t precious, expensive materials and finishes. Rather, its value comes from Patti’s juicy colour choices. The biggest surprise? “Even though there’s a lot of bold pattern here,” says the designer, “the whole space is somehow very calming.”
BLUE CRUSH
For designer Patti Wilson, inspiration began not with the sumptuous blue-and-gold wallpaper, but with the navy shower tiles and their subtle tonal variations. The simple act of exchanging the former giant corner-mounted tub for a smaller egg-shaped freestanding tub added much-needed elbow room, and by avoiding having to move the plumbing fixtures, Patti kept costs down.

PLAYING IT SOFT
To balance the rich colour and pattern of the walls and vanity, other surfaces – like white quartz counters and subtly veined porcelain tiles – play supporting roles. Black faucets are a more muted option than brass or chrome. A glass-and-brass sconce (left) adds sparkle without hiding the exquisite wallpaper with its dreamy chinoiserie feel.
