Is the size you have large enough to wash your hands? Cause that’s really all the bigger you need.

the size seems fine to me but if you go with the oval sink, as I voted, then go with a rounded kind of light fixture too

Love the oval sink to compliment the wall shape. I would make sure the sink is big enough to turn faucet on & off without dripping too much water onto the countertop behind instead of into the sink. If you have small children & see yourself in your home for some time the larger size is better as their ability to wash hands over the sink without splashing and dripping can be frustrating if it just goes on the countertop & subsequently drip onto the floor.

Expat, thank you. There are no children in the home. Where do you recommend the water hit in the bowl when the faucet is on? Behind the drain or into the drain? Trying to determine where to position the bowl under the faucet.

Don’t have the faucet too far to the back of the sink or you won’t get your hands under the stream of water.

Try the larger round one too. Otherwise you’ll never know which would be best. Or maybe you can do a mock-up of a larger sink to get the feel.

Well, the new sink turned out to be the exact same size as the first oval sink we purchased. We decided to keep the original oval sink and just installed it this weekend. I'll be installing a chrome towel ring by the sink. Wallpaper is next. We have decided on the wallpaper below. My SIL suggested to paper only the rounded walls on both sides of the sink as well as the soffit above the sink. This was something I had already considered. What do you all think? Should we paper just these areas or the whole room? And lastly, I'm thinking of changing the light fixture since we've gone with the oval sink versus the square sink. Any suggestions?

I like the oval sink. I love that paper. I can't advise on the extent of the paper usage. What does the rest of the room look like? Is this a strategy to save money or a style consideration? Personally I'd go with the whole room since it will tie the space together.

I do not like a cloth towel in a powder room I never like drying my hands on a towel someone else used not related to me. I use disposible towels in my powder room they come with some nice holders and you can even order them monogrammed .

I have to agree with the use of a hand towel in the powder room. How about rolled and stashed washcloths to have an individual towel for guest. Thats how I do it when I have get togethers. The hanging towel for family could be managed as you do now.

This looks great so far! I think the wallpaper will look nice, too, but I'm curious what the rest of the room looks like with those unique curved walls.

I too would not do a towel ring. And I’d wallpaper the whole room as far as I can tell from limited photos. Your doing a great job, looking very nice, good choices

Thank you for all the feedback. Here are photos of the whole room. Should we paper whole or part? I'll get disposable towels and a towel caddy.

What do you think?

Well, my first inclination was to paper the whole room, but both my SIL and MIL think it might be too much and suggested to paper just the sides of and above the vanity. That has left me wondering what would look best. I can't visualize things as a whole very well. It's frustrating.

I thought about just papering the sides and above the vanity and THEN making the decision to do the rest, but since we have to float the walls and order the wallpaper, it makes sense to figure it out ahead of time.

Well, I think papering the whole room would be my choice. it is such a subtle paper. It would be dreamy I think. I think it might look choppy if it was only at the sink. See what others think too.

Seeing the whole room now, I’d paper it all. It’s a very subtle paper

How does the paper look with the highly charactered door? Its rather like the sink, isn't it. It's a high style woodland retreat.

Where is your thread with all the other papers included? I think you should update that thread with your new information.

Enduring, I think I've settled on the wallpaper. The door with the paper doesn't bother me.

I bet it looks great, cause I thought it looked great with the counter, which is similar in variegation.

Would love to see pictures of the wallpaper when it’s completed!!

I decided on the oval bowl. I started a new thread for the selection of a new pendant over the sink.
