Watercolor Cloud Ceiling, Navy Daisy Walls
A small windowless NYC bathroom on the left. The Ashthetics version on the right. Same room, same angle, redesigned around a single question, which was what should it feel like to be inside a small white box at the end of a long day.
Color Choice. Deep navy on the wet wall and the gallery wall, daisy-scattered, so the room reads as a night sky scene. Soft lilac on the entry wall keeps the threshold warm. Sunbeam yellow textiles, the shower curtain and the shag, add a low note of warmth so the room never tips into moody.
Signature Move. The hand-painted watercolor cloud ceiling. In a windowless bathroom, the ceiling is the only surface that can give the room a feeling of sky. So the ceiling becomes the sky.
Intended Effect. Open. Warm. A little theatrical. The kind of small room where your shoulders drop the second you walk in.
