A Jewel Box of Color and Light

2016 SF Decorator Showcase House, Dressing Room and Bath by Katie Raffetto

The luxury of a well-styled dressing room is apparent in this beautiful jewel box of color and light. The materials were selected for their connection between past, present and future. 

The walls are covered in Wabi, a large-scale reproduction of custom made marbled paper. This artful technique with a long history is revitalized with the technology to produce and print at such scale. Opening the mirrored doors reveals a glowing closet lacquered in the color of a rhododendron. The thick Lucite shelves emulate the color as it spills out of the lustrous space.

The bath continues the play between color and light. Light glows into the space highlighting the hand painted plaster finish.  The concrete vanity is stripped to its essentials, just a sink. A mirror leans against the wall and a single sconces wraps and hangs asymmetrically.
