NYC Bambi
WHEN IT COMES TO décor, I would describe myself as a Romantic Traditionalist, perhaps even an Haute Bohemian, and a definite Maximalist. Anything modern or industrial rarely strikes my fancy, and that’s why it’s rather strange that I am so drawn to industrial inspired powder rooms lately. The look involves large exposed pipes and stands beneath sinks, (something I’ve never been fond of, as vanities provide so much more storage), and yet, when the exposed plumbing is made of golden brass, there is a sudden romance to it. The look only works, of course, when paired with the very traditional (and rather glamorous) elements of marble (preferably heavily veined) and more golden accents, such as mirrors and light fixtures, as well as brass faucets and taps. White is the preferred backdrop, in either paint or tile, although some have been known to use wallpaper or even more marble to great effect. Scroll through for a glimpse …
Perhaps some of the most photographs powder rooms on Instagram, the bathrooms at The Ludlow Hotel in the Lower East Side are a bonafide social media favourite. With their marble tops, moviestar mirrors and gold accents and fixtures, it’s not difficult to see why. In fact, they are so popular, some style bloggers have even taken to reproducing the look in their own homes …
Above, the powder room in the Los Angeles home of style blogger Aimée Song, which appears to have been inspired by the ones in the Ludlow Hotel.
