We wanted this tiny powder room to feel warm and full of personality. Glossy orange glass tile brings the color, and dark walnut slats wrap the walls in texture. A walnut floating shelf holds a white fluted vessel sink, and matte black details keep everything crisp. Two opal globe sconces give the room a soft glow. Below, we share each piece we chose and the thinking behind it.
