For Tom it always comes back to atmosphere, the feeling a room gives you the moment you walk in. The Keeper’s Bathroom was imagined as a space tucked away on a country estate or in a Highland lodge, named for the overlooked buildings that so often hold the most character, the keeper’s lodges and bothies no one really talks about, but that Tom finds the most interesting of all. It’s a room that feels as though it has always been there, full of personality built up over time.
That atmosphere is built from layers. A Highland woodland paper covers the walls, deer and game birds moving through the trees, so the walls themselves carry you into the countryside. Old and new sit side by side, an antique zinc bath and aged brass, marble and wicker, linen and soft light, every piece looking as though it has been gathered over the years rather than chosen all at once. It’s a room of texture and natural materials, warm and lived-in, one you step into and don’t want to leave.
The Keeper’s Bathroom was created for Rooms with a View in Southport, Connecticut.
