This cool, clean bathroom was designed by the English tile company Original Style, and photographed in Devon. Its design evokes the era of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the Glasgow School of architecture and art—a fusion of Arts & Crafts, Art Nouveau, and early Modernist design. Mackintosh (1868–1928) was a Scottish architect and designer, watercolorist, and fine artist who spent most of his career in Glasgow. His unique work blends geometric angularity with subtle curves and abstracted naturalistic forms. The Mackintosh Rose is among his most famous motifs, and the inspiration for the decorative, three-tile set.
This bathroom design evokes the era of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the Glasgow School of architecture and art. 
This room’s historical look is enhanced by a mirror with a geometric frame, Art Deco light sconces, and an unusual console sink. Separate taps on the curvy tub, as well as a towel-warming wall radiator, are period-inspired and very English.
Tiles shown include Glasgow Border, Glasgow Rose, and field tiles in Colonial White, Palm Green, and Jet Black—all part of Original Style’s Artworks Collection, which began in 1986 as tile sets designed for cast-iron fireplaces. Today’s authentic styles run from neoclassical through Victorian, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco/Egyptian Revival. The full range includes floor mosaics: originalstyle.com
The Glasgow Rose three-tile panel (shown here in a different installation) introduces Art Nouveau curves; available right- or left-facing.
1. THE GLASGOW ROSE
Introduction of this decorative tile set adds curves, the gentle, complementary rose color, and an unmistakable reference to Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the Art Nouveau period.
2. PERIOD COLORS
The scheme of black, warm white, and English green has a period feel. Yet it’s lively, fresh, modern—clean without being stark. A spare “frieze” of black squares, border tiles, and black tile skirting create a frame.
3. STRONG GEOMETRY
The theme carries through in the staccato of black accents on walls and floor, and the black mirror and sink console. Decorative tile panels soften the assemblage of elements.
4. SHOWER AND TUB
A modern shower is transparent, keeping visible the tiled perimeter of the room instead of diminishing the room’s apparent size. Fitted with twin taps, the enameled iron tub is separate.
