Interior designer Brianna Hughes layers Venistone, textured square tile and Viola marble to turn a shower room into a serene, spa-like escape
Designed by Brianna Hughes, Brianna Hughes Interiors, Edmonton
Can’t decide on the right tile for your ensuite? Follow the lead of interior designer Brianna Hughes (our 2024 Robert Ledingham Memorial Award winner) and incorporate three different options. In this spa-like shower room in Edmonton’s Laurier neighbourhood, dramatic, oversized “fragmented” Venistone tiles line the walls and floors, underneath rows of textured white squares. Purple-and-gold Viola marble tops the bench seat and frames the enclosure (which also houses a soaker tub), a beautiful additional layer in an already sumptuous space. The Viola also ties the room back to the rest of the house—you’ll find the swirled stone used for the kitchen backsplash and for the powder room vanity, too.
The editorial team at Western Living loves nothing more than a perfectly designed space, place or thing: and we’re here to tell you about it. Email us your pitches at [email protected].
