Spring Avenue Bathroom

A fun color palette that is also timeless was the goal in this kids' bathroom. The yellow tile is a color called Dandelion from Mercury Mosaics, handmade in America and gently variegated. The color also speaks of school busses and orange juice – sort of a little bit of orange mixed in there with the yellow. The niche is elongated and dimensioned precisely to showcase the black and white Moroccan tile from Fireclay tile, and the sides, top, and bottom of the niche are a honed black granite that really makes the pattern pop. The technique of using granite, marble, or quartz to frame a shower niche is also preferable to using tile if you want to minimize grout lines that you'll have to clean. The black onyx finish of the shower fixtures picks up the granite color as well and are offset with a white acrylic tub and vertical side wall tiles in a bright white.
