Every girl dreams of a room that offers quiet elegance and superb styling, a luxurious haven to retreat from a very busy world. The most private room in the house is often the master bath so make it your personal sanctuary – a space that is a true reflection of your lifestyle and personality.
The Inspiration Room
With an obvious nod to the days of art deco living, the Behr inspiration room serves up the feminine colours and streamlined motifs that capture the fun and frivolity of the 1920s. Pastel jade and light pink add just the right amount of nostalgia, while dark navy trim adds a note of staccato. Polished chrome fixtures, oriental rugs and exotic flower patterns accent this theme, transporting you back to the days of flapper dresses and speakeasies.
Many of BC’s homes and apartments date back to the turn of the last century; bursting with charm, high ceilings and coved windows. The bathroom is often filled with quirky character.
Yes, I know! Emerald green is the Pantone colour of the year (see the NICHE feature ‘Emerald City’ on page 80). But let’s be honest – deep, rich, jewel toned green is not exactly the most relaxing colour for a master bath. Searching for a better option, I happened upon the Behr Paints 2013 colour trends – a collection that is sweet and serene with a touch of palpable glam.
If your space is more modern, or perhaps smaller, don’t despair! Put on your vintage cloche thinking cap, take the best bits from this Behr ‘Flapper Girl’ inspiration room and make it your own!
