Spring Is Always in Season in This Townhouse Bathroom

Some rooms follow the seasons. This one stays in spring. Yellow, lilac and blush wildflowers climb the walls, and the palette is cheerful without tipping into a theme.

Loose above, orderly below

The wallpaper is Woodchip & Magnolia’s Wilderness Lemon Burst, painterly and almost impressionistic. Below it, dusty-pink cement tile runs across the floor and through the shower in a calm, regular grid. One pattern is free and one is disciplined, and neither tries to copy the other.

A room that holds onto spring all year.

A green marble basin

Instead of an off-the-shelf top, the vanity has a green-veined marble sourced from Turkey, with the veining running over the edge and down into a deep integrated basin. Sage-green ceramic knobs on the wood base pick up the same color.

Height and light

A six-foot mirror pulls the eye up and catches the daylight from above. Round white sconces with soft shades sit easily against the busy paper.

A little old-world

Traditional brass fittings and a soft-painted ceiling settle the room. It’s pretty, but it’s built with real materials, so it will still feel fresh long after the novelty of yellow wallpaper would have worn off anywhere else.
