1. A reflection on Mexican vernacular architecture, the interiors at Casa Hoyos hotel in San Miguel de Allende were designed
by Andrés Gutiérrez of A-G Studio. The combination of plain and patterned tiles plus paint, all in shades of deep ochre
yellow and set off by white sanitary ware and black fixtures, makes for a contemporary bathroom. andresg.mx | casahoyos.mx
2. The precise moment that colour blocking shifted from fashion to interiors? At the 2020 opening of the brilliant Hôtel
Les Deux Gares in Paris. With interiors by fearless British designer Luke Edward Hall, the hotel is all about bold, happymaking
colour – even (or perhaps especially?) in the bathrooms. lukeedwardhall.com | hoteldeuxgares.com
3. In L Ron Hubbard’s former residence in Linksfield Ridge – now a heritage building – this classic bathroom has been given
a new lease of life with jewel-like blue floor tiles (made to original specifications) and a sunny yellow ceiling. lronhubbard.org
4. The tones used in this bathroom of a coastal cottage located within a nature reserve are inspired by the greens and
blues of the surrounding landscape. Find a similar basin in the Ceramica Cielo range at Still Bathrooms. stillbathrooms.com
