If you’ve ever walked into a space and instantly smiled, you know the magic of great design. On a recent trip to Venice, Italy (yes—Venice!), I stumbled into a little bathroom that stopped me in my tracks. It wasn’t grand. It wasn’t massive. But it was packed with charm. What caught my eye? A stunning wall of green tile, kissed with the most beautiful wood accents and cozy taupe tones. And just like that—I was in love.

There’s something so joyful about bringing color and texture into your home, especially in places like bathrooms where we tend to play it safe. But this one was different. The green tile danced in the light—organic, fresh, and full of personality. Paired with warm wood tones and creamy taupe walls, the whole space felt both playful and grounded. A little modern, a little earthy, and completely unforgettable.

I’ve always believed that design should make you feel something. Whether it’s a moody navy kitchen island or a buttery velvet pillow, your space should be a reflection of your energy and joy. And lately? I’m all about that happy green moment. It’s nature-inspired, unexpectedly versatile, and pairs beautifully with a range of neutrals—from sandy tones to rich espresso stains.

If you’re looking for a way to bring a little unexpected joy into your home, start with tile. Play with color. Try a texture that feels handmade. Pair it with a wood vanity or floating shelves in a warm stain. Layer in linens, soft lighting, maybe even a candle or two. Suddenly, your bathroom isn’t just a bathroom—it’s a mood.

So here’s your permission to be bold. To pick the green tile. To mix wood and stone. To lean into color in a way that feels fresh and fun. Because the truth is—home should make you smile.

And this one in Venice? It absolutely did. 💚
