Fireclay Tile Meets Claire Thomas

Bryce Dallas Howard: Primary Bathroom

Known for her role in Jurassic World, it’s no wonder Bryce Dallas Howard’s primary bathroom is cretaceous-chic. Designer Claire Thomas used Glazed Thin Brick in pink Saguaro to achieve an organic watercolor effect, which is beautifully paired with a luxe green soaking tub to stay true to the pink-and-green color scheme found throughout Bryce’s home.

Bryce Dallas Howard: Green Brick Exterior

With a clear vision and pink-and-green color palette, Bryce Dallas Howard created a deeply meaningful home for herself and her family. Keeping the exterior on the green side of Bryce’s chosen palette, designer Claire Thomas clad Bryce’s home with extra-long Norman Glazed Thin Brick in soothing Ozark that exudes easygoing California vibes, especially in this peaceful patio.

Pulling inspiration straight from the view out of the large bathroom windows, subway tile in deep green Evergreen mirrors nature outside while providing a striking complement to the copper soaking tub inside.

Claire Thomas reached for Mosaic Tile to ensure that every square inch of her Hollyhock Cabin bathroom was filled with charm.
