"  An Alexander McQueen\u00A0skull pillow was the catalyst for this daring en suite bathroom in Chicago&amp;#039;s trendy Wicker Park neighborhood. When designer SuzAnn Kletzien&amp;#039;s clients, a young, fashion-forward couple, pulled it as inspiration, she knew she could infuse the room with serious attitude. The impact begins immediately upon entering with a dynamic hexagonal-tile &amp;quot;rug&amp;quot; by Artistic Tile. In Nero Marquina, Pacific White\u00A0and Thassos marbles, it&amp;#039;s a luxe take on the traditional porcelain penny-tile flooring of the 1920s. &amp;quot;I wanted drama!&amp;quot; says Kletzien, who notes that placing a modern, jewelry-inspired chandelier over a claw-foot tub &amp;quot;definitely satisfied that need.&amp;quot;  Gilded mirrors, brass fixtures\u00A0and antiqued mirror tiles add touches of bling to the classic palette. &amp;quot;A high-contrast color like black can be daring, so subtle transitions are key\u00A0\u2014\u00A0like continuing the black paint that&amp;#039;s on the upper third of the wall into the shower with black tiles,&amp;quot; says Kletzien. Warehouse-style shower doors keep the narrow room feeling open and bring that final note of coolness to the space.
