International style—from Asian to Mediterranean—has worked its way across various oceans and into our homes. Our room of the month by interior designer Chris Barrett is a Moroccan paradise. Once a bedroom, this elaborate California bathroom features hand-cut tiles, a wooden fretwork canopy and a plaster ceiling designed to incorporate Moorish symbols original to the home's architecture. Take a dip in this tub and you'll truly feel out of this world—or at least out of this continent. More Designers' Portfolio rooms >>

"It was very dramatic, but you have to wonder how a black chandelier will interpret down to Middle America," she says. Hastie does see Americans embracing a Chanel-like black-and-white stripe, using Bisazza black-and-white tiles or working with the Asian-inspired metallic charcoal blacks that are already popular in Europe.
