Cypress Design Co.
About This Project
Material & Feature Breakdown
The shower walls and accent walls of this bathroom utilize classic ceramic subway tiles in crisp white, accented by black ceramic tile trim. All surfaces present a glossy finish, increasing light reflection and contributing to the distinct art deco look. The tiles are small format, approximately 3x6 inches, featuring slightly beveled edges for enhanced definition. A running bond pattern provides subtle movement, while the black border creates a geometric focal point, emphasizing the shower niche and edges. Grout is a thin, contrasting gray, adding further graphic clarity to the space.
This bold yet timeless scheme for the Black and White Art Deco Bathroom balances historic charm with sharp modern detail. Designed by Cypress Design Co. in East Providence, RI, the bathroom showcases classic art deco motifs—sharp geometric lines, symmetrical patterns, and dramatic high-contrast color blocking. Glossy white tiles punctuated by glossy black trim create a clean and inviting atmosphere, while the durable ceramic material withstands daily use and humidity in the shower. Perfect for those seeking a distinctively stylish and enduring finish with vintage inspiration.
