Red White and Blue Bath

June 28, 2011 by Allison 6 Comments

blue bathtub - blue double slipper tub and oriental rug in a red, white and blue bathroom by Mary Watkins Woods - House Beautiful via AtticmagA blue bathtub adds personality to a sophisticated bath with a patriotic color scheme.

An especially large bath, with a freestanding blue bathtub in the center of a large window, has me searching for my Mr Bubble. This Fourth of July baby usually shies away from red, white and blue interiors, but this master bath, by designer Mary Watkins Woods, is an exception.

The deep blue double slipper tub is an unanticipated color choice and it’s repeated in the well worn antique Chinese area rug. Given the choice of a white porcelain garden seat as a waterproof side table you might expect a blue and white color scheme. Instead, red is added as an accent color and the comfortable furnishings set this space apart from the typical tiled bath and transforms it into a relaxing sanctuary. One could easily sit in the wood frame chair upholstered in a Scalamandré fabric and enjoy the sunshine. Should that become too intense, the cotton duck roman shade provides light control without changing the atmosphere of the bath at all.

The well-worn rug has seen worse than the occasional damp feet. And the pair of lacquered red coat stands – a surprise replacement for boring towel bars — offer wonderful jolts color as well as handy places to hang towels, robes, or even clothes.

    Leave it to me to love the window treatment but I think the big relaxed canvas Roman shade is a great addition to the obvious here. And the color scheme really works without being kitschy.

    Thanks for pointing it out. I meant to add it to the paragraph, then forgot! Much better than a print or fussy curtains.

    love this! It’s perfection, really. It almost looks accidental, like someone assembled some well loved pieces and they just happened to be red, white and blue. The coat racks are really a great idea

    Great photo Allison. You know I always love to see Oriental rugs in bathrooms. I see this as an Asian inspired bath not only because of the Peking carpet but the fabric on the chair appears (?) to be an Asian motif and–perhaps a bit of a stretch, but those towel holders remind me of pagodas. Then again maybe my imagination is running on overdrive 😀

    Funny what we notice…JF I didn’t even catch the window dressings until I read your comment!
