A satin finish accompanies toilet and sink, floor and wall tiles, and a sunny color palette to produce a striking and contemporary bathroom. On a five star wow-factor scale this bathroom easily earns all five stars. The sleek lines and satin finish of the toilet and sink are shown to advantage and kept from appearing too industrial by the rich use of tile. From the bullnose tiles used for baseboard to the small subway tiles covering the walls to the large convex tiles used as molding, the mind and the senses are pleased when contemplating this combo. The walls, although tall, are made less intimidating by four horizontal stripes of soft aqua tiles that break the expanse into more comfortable proportions and add interest to the molding and baseboard. The square tiles on the floor mimic the colors of the wall tiles, but are installed in a random pattern keeping the overall design from becoming too predictable. Despite the fabulous tile work, the eye has a comfortable place to land, back at the satin finish toilet and sink.
