We wanted this powder room to feel like a little jewel box. Glossy emerald tile wraps every wall and the floor, and warm walnut and gold keep it inviting rather than dark. A fluted walnut vanity brings mid-century texture, a gold arched mirror softens the lines, and two opal globes glow on either side. Below, we share each piece we chose and the thinking behind it.
