Edmonton designer Brianna Hughes shares the best way to bring some colour to your bathroom
If this jaw-dropping Calgary ensuite is any indication, then coloured tubs are back, baby. Designed by Brianna Hughes (the project began when she was with Ministry of Interiors, and was completed under her own eponymous design firm) the space features a gorgeous tinted-concrete bathtub from Nood Co that’s light years from your grandma’s avocado tub liner—its sleek, streamlined shape and blush-nude hue are fresh, modern and oh-so-inviting. The vessel seems to glow against the graphic black-and-white Stone Tile porcelain tile that lines the floors and walls, while the curved clamshell of a light fixture above (from Montreal’s Luminaire Authentik) adds an organic element to the whole tableau. Whether you’re thinking of the past or the future as you’re soaking in this special space: it’s a moment to be treasured.
