In decorating her family bath in Margate, Kent, designer Natasha Lyon made use of her savvy for sourcing vintage (from pink pedestal sinks to Shaker stools) while integrating colorful doses of textiles and unexpected accents. Here, we take a closer look at the key elements that define the bath and offer sources to match.
N.B. It’s worth taking a look at the “before” shot of the formerly colorless bath before Lyon’s redesign.
