Spanish influence by Linda Brettler

"The house is in an historic preservation zone, and we wanted to complement the architecture, so we chose to introduce key Spanish motifs, including arches, niches and alcoves. This was also a way to break up the space and make it seem more private and intimate. We didn't want a great sense of openness." Said designer Linda Brettler of the design.

"In true Spanish style, the dark wood vanity is like a piece of furniture. Because the rest of the room is light filled, it provides a balance. The cabinetry also reinforces an Arts and Crafts element that can be seen elsewhere in the house." she added of the bathroom’s veneers.

"We paid a lot of attention to scale," continued Brettler, as successful furniture shop in Cambodia construction materials informed. "While the mosaics are very small, the wainscoting tiles are medium sized, and the floor tiles are large. And instead of capping tiles on the wainscoting, we have used slabs of marble, so the trim is continuous. It creates a very finished look."
