The porcelain, inspired by the veining and movement of real quartzite, immediately sets the tone. Its oversized scale and natural pattern create a sophisticated setting, with integrated lighting at the edge subtly illuminating the surface. The floating mirror — an approach used to minimize cutting into the delicate porcelain — keeps the material uninterrupted, structurally sound, and the star of the room
The confident use of color continues with an aspen green pedestal sink, a traditional silhouette combined with an unexpected hue. “The shape of the sink is fairly classic, but we wanted to mix styles and go bolder with color,” Ashley says. “The green toilet complements the sink while reinforcing the playful, revivalist spirit that’s currently reemerging in home design.”
Hardware finishes include titanium, which is a deep, moody tone that’s darker than chrome but softer than black, and black nickel which both add subtle contrast without distraction.
Underfoot, a marble herringbone floor provides a crisp counterpoint to the saturated green. “I like to say that the floor design points you towards the beautiful wall element,” Ashley says. The directional pattern of the tile indeed draws the eye toward the porcelain feature wall, reinforcing it as the visual anchor while breaking up the expanses of green with light and movement.
“For this powder room, we wanted to do something bold and fun but with a subtle sophistication. The finished product makes a strong impression but still has a soft beauty,” Ashley says. “When you commit fully to a standout material, it becomes the guiding light for the entire design.”

This modern farmhouse kitchen is a refined interpretation of the popular style, balancing familiar farmhouse elements with tailored details that ensure it will feel current for years to come.
Textured German antique glass, rift cut white oak cabinet interiors and integrated lighting add contrast and create a warm display area in the adjacent cabinets, accented by wood grain porcelain floor tile in a herringbone pattern.
“Quartzite brings both organic beauty and durability for busy kitchen,” Laura adds. “And mixing hardware styles and finishes keeps a room from feeling flat.”
