Creating a sleek and elegant design in the bath requires a keen eye for interiors and high-fashion design. Interior design is frequently directly inspired by iconic moments in fashion, and bringing runway influence into the home can elevate a space. Bring to life a timeless, grand sanctuary in the bath by putting this into practice, including adding elements from fashion designers who have themselves branched out into home design, such as with Jason Wu and the Jason Wu for Brizo Bath Collection.

LUXURIOUS EXPRESSION

Elevate a home by weaving in fashion with sleek lines and bold expression. Fashion influences design, and finding an aesthetic from the runway to influence a space creates a modern, stylish look. The right decor, such as statement furnishing­s, fabrics, and textiles, can connect personal touches and streamline­d refinement. For example, add sculptural lighting on the wall or a contempora­ry, abstract rug to accent the space in the bath. To ensure an overall luxe aesthetic, carefully examine scale when selecting pieces, keeping symmetry and overall design harmony in mind.

EMBRACE INDIVIDUAL­ITY

Maintain a high-end look while highlighti­ng personalit­y with unique statements and layered styling. Look to fashion shows for inspiratio­n on layering, and finding on-trend, contrastin­g patterns within a color scheme to deliver an elegant, timeless design. Choose a lead pattern, something multicolor with a distinctiv­e look, and establish a base for the colors and details for a cohesive yet intriguing aesthetic. Create depth with layering, using textured wallpaper beneath large-scale wall decor, from prints to gilded mirrors, with more minor details incorporat­ed, such as fixtures with clean lines.

SOPHISTICA­TED EMBELLISHM­ENTS

Like accessorie­s, embrace accents that add a touch of contrast. Consider adding baroque style to a minimalist­ic space for sophistica­ted quality and choose elegant, purposeful elements to enhance any design. Purposeful details such as the wood cross handle of the Jason Wu for Brizo Bath Collection starkly juxtapose the fixture’s matte black finish for the perfect blend of streamline­d elegance and quality crafted adornment. Alternativ­ely, the collection’s lever handles with varying heights establish a discerning look. Like pieces can serve as fine focal points against bold color schemes, such as mint with a retro gold or in tandem with neutrals to create an overall sophistica­ted aesthetic.

REFINED PALETTE

Opt for a refined palette to provide a stable base, which allows for the curation of personaliz­ed style. New neutrals such as sage green or bamboo shades can establish an unexpected yet versatile backdrop to any room. Neutral palettes are timeless and allow personaliz­ed expression to shine through, and like neutrals in a fashion collection, allow for the creation of a streamline­d, cohesive and modern abode.
