Steal This Look: A Graphic Bathroom with Vintage Charm

When Margot recently profiled the ambitious renovation by artist Russell Loughlan in Kent, England, the project’s graphic bathroom was one of the more stand-out moments. Loughlan, who holds an MFA from Central St. Martins, hand-painted the stripes using precise tape and Farrow & Ball color. Coupled with black and white tiles and vintage-inspired fixtures, the space is one we’d like to borrow ideas from ourselves. Here are some of the key elements within.
