Blog 1 — Goodrich Design

Goodrich Design was commissioned to help the young owners of a medspa. The design called for a residential vibe with a touch of playful sophistication and glamour. Working with the spa’s name, we used color blocking in shades of pink and green for the walls, sourced thriftily through my trusted Austin-resources, and made the bathrooms both wild and beautiful and Instagram-worthy.

The entrance and primary product display space is intentionally subdued to evoke calm with crisp lighting for the best product browsing. The intentionally low reception desk is welcoming, and the glam longhorn skull reminds clients what great city we are in.

The owners wanted photo-worthy bathrooms to appeal to their late-30s clientele. So, for a twist on the ‘wild side’ bathroom we paired a zebra print rug with a disco ball planter against a jungle party-themed wallpaper and Belle Epoque-style vanity lights.

For the ‘beautiful’ bathroom, we leaned into a more traditional but oversized wallpaper print reminiscent of Texas bluebonnets. With sustainability in mind, we kept the original lime green and navy square bathroom tiles as an artistic homage to the space’s former tenants. And in a nod to Instagram-worthy bathroom photos, a peacock is holding up the toilet paper holder.

The owners commissioned a large mural by a local student artist that dances across the walls like a vine to enhance the medical spa’s nature-first approach to beauty. Super proud of this project!
