My Space: Inside Paloma Elsesser’s Milanese-Inspired Bathroom
EE72 Editorial Director Sarah Harris steps inside the rooms that ground cultural figures, revealing the spaces that inspire, recharge, and feel most like home.
“My beloved bathroom is the crown jewel of the house. It honestly makes my life heaven knowing I get to do all the little, everyday things in a room that looks like this. We used Italian marble throughout, it wraps the space in this rich, emotional warmth, paired with walnut paneling and mirrors that create a serene, almost symphonic effect. The design was inspired by classic Milanese bathrooms and the Marchesi bakery in Milan. My favorite detail might be the acidic pistachio wall color or the little seat in the shower, that’s where I sit and take a moment for myself. An indulgent bathroom is such an expression of how we pour into ourselves, as the space is solely for you and the ways in which you take care of yourself. I love being able to tend to myself in a space that feels sacred and my own.”
