Steal This Look: An Attic Bath in a Spectrum of Greens

March 18, 2014

A prime example of the successful layering of color comes from Zürich’s Bergdorf Agency for Concepts and Communication, a creative group that used 40 different shades in the interior redesign of an old chalet in the Bernese Oberland. Our favorite spectrum in the chalet is the range of greens seen, from watered-down mint to spearmint and dusty sage. Here, we’ve decoded some of the colors and essential elements in the small attic bathroom to mimic the look.

The Basics

Above: Pale Powder is a Farrow & Ball color that has white undertones (it’s a lighter version of Farrow & Ball’s Teresa’s Garden, a medium green with blue undertones). Pale Powder is $95 for a gallon of eggshell paint at Farrow & Ball.

Above: Farrow & Ball’s Manor House Gray paint is a close match to the gray used on the bathroom armoire, and would also work well on bathroom cupboard doors. The color is inspired by the rich grays of traditional 18th century decor; $95 per gallon.
