3. Teal Tile and Patterned Flooring
Designer: Laurie Montour Design
Location: Dove Canyon, California
Size: 42 square feet (3.9 square meters); 6 by 7 feet
Homeowners request. “This was a dream client, she just kept saying, ‘I trust you, do whatever you want,’” designer Laurie Montour says. “We did a large-scale remodel while she was living in New York City. Everything was approved by photos and samples.”
Special features. “We wanted to create an impactful space with an odd sloped ceiling and asymmetry,” Montour says. “We used a teal green tile wall to repeat some of the colors of the entire home and give the powder bath some color while keeping everything else neutral. The fun patterned tile floors with the hanging pendant light give this room so much personality.”
Designer tip. “Hanging pendant lighting in a bathroom is a fun way to use lighting,” Montour says. “I always recommend recessed overhead lighting along with pendants to ensure adequate lighting.”
Floor tile: Ann Sacks; pendant light: Limoges, Visual Comfort; wall paint: Simply White, Benjamin Moore
8 Golden Rules of Bathroom Design

Designer: Dawn Rothenbacher of Roth Design
Location: Charlotte, North Carolina
Size: 42 square feet (3.9 square meters); 6 by 7 feet
Homeowners’ request. “The homeowner wanted more of an exciting experience when walking through her home, each space leaving a lasting impression,” designer Dawn Rothenbacher says. “She loves exotic animals and had an inspiration picture with these particular colors, so we started there. She didn’t want a boring beige box.”
Special features. “The Schumacher Iconic Leopard wallpaper is the showstopper for this space,” Rothenbacher says. “The fact that we applied it to her 10-foot ceiling as well made it even more of a wow factor. Light and plumbing fixtures were sourced in a lacquered brass to prevent tarnishing. The mirror was an antique the homeowner had in storage.” A leopard print trash bin complements the wallpaper.
Designer tip. “Never forget your ceiling,” Rothenbacher says. “People think about the walls and floors but never the untapped potential of changing the ceiling color or pattern. This is where the drama lives. A powder room has a short amount of time to make a lasting positive impression. I also recommend people starting with the powder room when renovating. It’s the quickest turnaround for seeing impactful results. This keeps you motivated to continue to do the next space.”
“Uh-oh” moment. “Most people get scared of wallpaper behind a toilet, sink or on a ceiling,” Rothenbacher says. “The best solution is to hire professional installers. When spending money on expensive designer wallpaper, you don’t want to waste your money with mistakes due to lack of experience.”
