BS&L - Unlock Spring’s Fragrance In Your Bathroom

Published 8 days ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader,

I was scrolling late one night when I stopped on this bathroom: deep green tiles, a striped sink skirt in pink and green, light pouring in from a roof window. It felt like stepping inside a flower bouquet.

Color isn’t an accent; it is structure. The green isn’t just a background, it’s the stem; the pink isn’t “pop of color,” it’s the blooms. When you think of it this way, green + fuchsia stops being a risky palette and becomes something your eye already understands from nature.

In a New York apartment, this combination works best in small doses and clear blocks: a saturated surface (tiles, a panel of paint, a headboard) and a playful textile (a skirt, curtain, lampshade, or striped pillow) to carry the fuchsia. The rest can stay quiet—white walls, terrazzo or light stone, a simple mirror—so the color story feels intentional rather than loud.

Shop the look!

March orders are still open, but here's the plan for April: ranunculus, delphinium, anthuriums — coral and cobalt to remind us of early spring golden hour.

For lobbies, showrooms, and home delivery — while the season lasts.

If you’ve been craving more personality at home but are nervous about bold color, start where this bathroom does: one “stem” in green, one “petal” in fuchsia, and let the rest of the room stay calm. It’s the same logic I use in floral design—strong blooms, supported by greenery, and plenty of air around it, so you can actually breathe in the space.

If you want help translating this palette into your own space, book a 48-Hour Layout Intensive with me.

You send me your floor plan and photos of the room. I send you back a revised layout with furniture sizing, placement guidance, and the reasoning behind every choice. One room, up to 400 sq ft, $350. Five spots available this month.

Hey Reader, There's a scene in The Big Bang Theory where a character makes a distinction that stopped me mid-rewatch: eating is a biological necessity. Dining is a cultural experience. I haven't stopped thinking about it since — because it's exactly what I do every time I work on a kitchen or a table setting. Most of us eat. We eat standing at the counter, scrolling, at the desk, or even walking between errands. But dining? Dining requires a stage. It asks something of the room. So what turns...

Hey Reader, Every morning, I notice the light shifting slightly across the room. It’s subtle, but over time you start to see patterns — where the sun lands, how it moves, how it changes the feeling of the space. Most people think good interiors come from furniture or finishes. But often, it’s light. And while you possibly can’t change your windows, you can change how you work with them. The most common mistake is treating windows like a background. Sofas get pushed against walls. Tables go...

Hey Reader, Walk into almost any artist’s studio and you’ll notice something immediately. It rarely feels “decorated.” The furniture might be simple. The walls may be imperfect. Objects are not always arranged with visual symmetry. And yet the space often feels right. Balanced. Calm. Functional. That’s because artists design their environments around how they actually work — not around how the room should look in a photograph. There are a few lessons in that approach that translate...
