Sage & Stone Bath
A small bathroom made calm: large warm-stone porcelain replaces the busy multicolour tiles, the shower gets its own sage zellige wall behind a brass-framed glass screen, the WC hangs off a stone ledge that hides the cistern, and a wall-hung teak vanity frees the floor by the door.
