2017 DC Design House – Powder Room

 Design intent:  To allow the existing marble flooring to take center stage. 

The inspiration and design direction for the powder room transformation comes from the Academy Award Nominated film, "Nocturnal Animals", directed and produced by famed fashion designer, Tom Ford.

As Tom Ford has done so brilliantly in fashion and film making, he creates a mood and a point of view by using color in the simplest and boldest of form by offsetting it with a direct contrast to allow the color/s to speak.   In the case of inviting the marble flooring to be the featured star of the space, we have been inspired by a specific scene in the film.  A main character (Amy Adams) of the movie has a moment with herself.  The mood is dark and mysterious.  The mirror is dark with a contrast of white frosted glass sconces.   The woman's green dress sets the tone and mood for the scene speaking as loudly as the powerful moment the actress has with herself in the mirror.  

Finishes:  Textured crocodile black wallpaper, Sherwin Williams Tri-Corn Black (matte finish) paint trim,  contemporary sink fixture, raised bowl sink, dark wall mirror, frosted white/brushed gold deco-style sconces above sink, matching contemporary frosted white ceiling fixtures, brushed gold accents, fashion sketch artwork, contemporary style slipper chair, brown textured lumbar accent pillow and table with decorative accessories in the powder room entry.
