I like this small compact design with rain shower overhead, and hand held as well.
This harmony is good but in reality having two niches for sinks isn't useful. I like the tile.
Example of flooring warm color with dark brown.
Another example of well designed tiles in muted tones but in harmony.
I do not like seeing the p trap, better to have a cabinet. Find a mid century modern one or
Love this stone sink but again the plumbing showing fails.
- Tiles: Saltillo
tiles (terracotta) are classic, but consider Mexican Talavera tiles
for vibrant patterns or encaustic cement tiles for geometric
designs. Glazed ceramic tiles in warm colors like
terracotta, ochre, creams and olive green are also popular. I
prefer more muted tones than the vibrant ones as they aren't as long
enjoyed. I am not fond of beige that seems to be ubiquitous in Orange
County and boring.
- Colors: Stick
to a warm and earthy palette inspired by the California
landscape. Think
terracotta, ochre, cream, sage green, and
whites. Accents of turquoise or cobalt blue can add cool
vibrancy.
- Bathrooms: Embrace
the Spanish aesthetic with Saltillo floor tiles, hand-painted
ceramic tiles on the walls, vanities with wrought iron
details, and brass fixtures. Open showers with terracotta or
stone accents can add a touch of luxury.
- Indoor-outdoor
flow: Blur the lines between inside and outside with large
patios, courtyards, and terraces. Use natural materials
like wood, stone, and wrought iron for furniture and
accessories. Lush colors, sunflowers, an avocado tree, climbing roses and
shaded spots to enjoy the garden. The back fence is rod iron, perhaps make
a central section glass to view the mountains and eucalyptus trees on the
horizon.
Think about this architectural concept of prospect and refuge theory as a way to shape your home environment.
Evolution programmed humans to desire environments where one can see ~~ but not be seen (refuge). Inherently, we seek out and are soothed subconsciously by spaces that offer a view, or Prospect, but impart a sense of protection, or Refuge
To savor danger from a haven of safety.
When we pause at protected overlook on a hike; we feel both these: prospect (view) and refuge (safe). The sensation is a sense of openness coupled with excitement but to keep it your own.
Think view, light, open with your back protected and private. So skylight, windows to the views and air but with ability to shudder.
