What do you do with a bathroom makeover that
has a partial onyx wall?
I opted for a 'mixed media' approach, using tile
and wallpaper to balance and tie in the disjointed
use of onyx so it didn't look like we ran out of
material or money.
The stark quality of white was softened by
bisque-colored sinks, spa tub, and toilet. To
provide the couple with double sinks, an extra
hole was carved into the delicate double-thick
onyx counter top. An ‘onyx-hued’ oak vanity
helps to tie in the multi-media décor.
To add graceful curves to the angular space, the spa
tub was replaced by one with a curvaceous profile.
The short 9’ onyx slab between the wall and vanity
top was removed so that the remaining onyx serves
to frame the tub.
A cross between shell-shape and burl wood, the
wallpaper pattern mirrors the curvilinear lines of the
onyx and bubble tile, serving to tie together the entire
space.
