Designing Powder Baths

Powder Baths are particularly fun to design. Because people typically aren’t getting ready here, but are only being used for a few minutes at a time by homeowners or their guests, they are a perfect space to do something different and make an impression. In this Powder Bath, the architect envisioned a bluestone floor with a floating walnut vanity. Our team took that concept and ran with it. The homeowner wanted to add drama to the room as well, so the back “wet wall” is painted black and features a round LED light mirror. A local craftsman fabricated the walnut vanity and we specified a concrete countertop style sink, and a chrome faucet. Artwork was sourced through local galleries to add more color and texture to the space. The room at once both functional, beautiful and dramatic.
