We love proving that the smallest room in a house can carry the most heart. Morning light filters through a linen panel and settles on white paneling, while a black and white octagon floor gives the room its graphic, old-house charm. A barn sconce, a round black mirror and a simple pedestal sink keep it honest and uncluttered, so guests notice the light and the care. Below, we share each piece we chose and the thinking behind it.

Illustrative rendering, not a photograph. Illustrative rendering of a small modern farmhouse powder room with white vertical paneling, a black barn sconce over a round black mirror, a white pedestal sink with a matte black faucet, a black towel ring with a white towel, a wood shelf with a potted plant, a white two-piece toilet, a black paper holder, a cream linen curtain at a tall window and a black and white octagon-dot floor. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
