Small room, big details

Beadboard wraps the walls and ceiling, and a deep forest-green lacquered arch frames the walk-in shower. Inside, white zellige tile surrounds an exposed shower column in unlacquered brass that will darken naturally over time.

A pedestal basin with a bridge faucet sits under a bobbin-turned mirror flanked by brass sconces. A mahogany built-in linen cabinet with reeded-glass doors adds storage without crowding the room.

The floor is a scalloped black-and-white grid mosaic that runs straight through the arch into the shower.
