A Refined Material Palette
Small floor tiles, a simple window trim, and lightly colored walls and ceiling help give this small powder room the feel of a much larger space.
This powder room is a combination of both old and new that come together to create character with a refined material palette. Small floor tiles, a simple window trim, and lightly colored walls and ceiling help give the smaller space the feel of one much larger. The time period mirror, pendant light, and furniture like sink give it a homey feel, while the re-purposed sliding door adds a touch of color and warmth.
