We imagined this little powder room as a jewel box. Glossy green tile runs straight up every wall, catching the light like water, while a pale oak shelf and a white bowl keep the sink area open and simple. Brass globes, an arched gold mirror and a few plants make it warm and welcoming. Below, we share each piece we chose and the thinking behind it.

Illustrative rendering, not a photograph. Illustrative rendering of a tiny California Modern powder room with glossy green rectangular tile in a vertical stack; a natural oak floating shelf holds a white oval vessel sink, glass soap pumps, a black toothbrush cup and an amber candle, with a brushed gold wall-mounted faucet above; an arched gold mirror between two brass sconces with white globe shades; two oak shelves over a white two-piece toilet with faux succulents, a reed diffuser, a black tissue box cover and abstract art; a brass towel ring with a white towel, a brass toilet paper holder, a small gold trash can, a wicker basket and a navy bath mat on a light tile floor. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

Notes

  • Green glossy 2.5x8 wall tile: 5.38 sq ft per case (per the listing). Plan on about 10 cases for about 50 sq ft of wall (estimate; measure your walls). Lay it in a vertical stack as shown.
  • 24" natural oak floating shelf: This is a wall shelf, not a vanity cabinet; check with your installer that it can carry the vessel sink, and plan the drain and supply lines, which show below the shelf.
  • Brushed gold wall-mount faucet: The listing includes a brass rough-in valve. Have a plumber install it in the wall before tile.
  • Brass milk glass globe sconces: Plan on two for the look shown. Hire an electrician.
  • Antique brass towel ring, toilet paper holder, double robe hook and towel bar come from one 4-piece set listing; the finish is antique brass, a little darker than the brushed gold faucet.
  • Arched antique gold mirror: The listing is 30 x 40 in; check that it fits your wall.
  • Toilet brush set, double robe hook, towel bar, terracotta pots and toothbrush holder are not all shown in the illustration.
  • The floor tile in the render is not a linked item.
  • Toilet brush set and wall art colors were not captured from the listings and may differ from the render.
  • LANE LINEN 6-piece cotton towel set, viscose-bamboo and Turkish cotton washcloths (6-pack), gold ribbed glass Q-tip holders (4-pack), Moss & Stone digital scale, YOUDENOVA jute rope hamper (58L) and gold mirrored vanity tray aren't shown in the illustration.
