In this new build Palo Alto, Calif. bath and kitchen design, designer Lindsay Chambers aimed to fit the home’s traditional architecture while addressing the local color.
The master bath boasts natural lighting through arched, Gothic-inspired windows with wood paneling.
For the unconventional look of this bath, Chambers kept the formality of traditional wainscoting but applied bold custom wallpaper above it.
By keeping some elements simpler with clean, modern lines, the traditional woodwork is highlighted and not overwhelmed by the wallpaper pattern.
The black iron legs of the vanity, along with the black-mirrored frame and the black stand of the light fixture, echo the black tones in the wallpaper’s photographs.
To give the kitchen a modern slant, Chambers freshened up the otherwise traditional cabinets with a modern gray and white color palette.
Two smokebell pendants recall an earlier era but with contemporary translucent mirrored glass bowls and bronze metal accents.
