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.

Illustrative rendering, not a photograph. A small mid-century modern powder room with glossy emerald green subway tile on the walls and floor, a fluted walnut vanity on legs with a white ceramic top and brushed gold faucet, a gold arched mirror between two gold opal globe pendants, a white two-piece toilet, antique brass towel bar and ring with white towels, an oak shelf, framed abstract art, a teak stool, a woven basket and a navy bath mat. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23
