Custom Built-ins Fixed This “Cramped” 40 Square-Foot Bathroom
White Tiles and Pink Grout Were an Affordable and Impactful Design Move
“A huge part of this project was identifying our clients’ shared design style and how it should show up in their bathroom,” Jordan explains. The clients “longed for a space that felt as creative as they are,” and every design decision combined colorful, mid-century modern style with multi-functional living.
The original shower and bath were pink on pink, and they pulled inspiration from the tiles to curate a color palette. They featured “sunset pinks, burnt siennas, dusty sky blues, and golden oaks.”
“We opted for an affordable white tile paired with a really beautiful pink grout to tell [the] design story,” Jordan says. “Sometimes [grout] plays a supporting role and other times it can be a star.”
In this case, they intentionally matched the tile grout with the soft pink they painted the walls. The results turned the otherwise white tiles into something whimsical and visually impactful — with the grout as the star of the show.
Everything added up to creating a bathroom with “clean lines, patterns, and balance, but with an artful take on key elements like the colors, textiles, and vanity mirrors,” Jordan describes.
The clients later told her, “We love how the bathroom turned out. [It] has really leveled up our bath game.”
