Introducing an organic, natural material like wood to a room is a great way to make the space feel warm, homey and timeless, and this is especially true when it’s a bathroom that features tile, porcelain, mirrors and other cold and sterile materials. It’s no surprise, then, that many of the most popular powder room photos saved by Houzz users over the last three months include a wood vanity. Here are 10 trending powder rooms with a range of wood vanities, from floating slabs topped with vessel sinks to furniture-like cabinets with loads of storage.

Floating Wood Vanities
1. The design team at Jessica Bradley Interiors had a custom vanity of unstained wood made for this Atlanta powder room. A small white vessel sink leaves counter space available on both sides, and the chunkiness of the wood conceals the plumbing. Other highlights of the space include shiplap on the walls and ceiling and a pair of stylish sconces.

2. For the 2018 Artisan Home Tour in Minneapolis, the team at Kroiss Development designed this alluring powder room featuring bold black-and-white wallpaper and brass faucet fixtures built into the wall. Two floating slabs of walnut combine to form a functional and stylish vanity. The top slab creates counter space and a base for the black stone vessel sink, while the lower slab serves as storage shelf.

3. This London powder room by BLOCK Design & Build features some classic touches, such as walls covered in white subway tile and floors in black hexagon tile. To add warmth to the space, the team had a custom vanity constructed out of two stained planks of wood. Another wood touch is seen on the window ledge behind the toilet.
4. This powder room in Japan built by the team at Clasis Home also features a vanity formed from two floating slabs of wood. The slabs are gray-washed oak that complements the wall behind the sink, which is covered in gray tiles.
5. Jennifer Horstman of Lenox House Design created the midcentury-inspired wall-mounted vanity in this Minneapolis powder room. A pair of sliding doors conceals storage underneath. A rose-colored copper faucet plays off the blush-hued tiles and wall paint (Pink Moiré by Benjamin Moore).
6. This dark and moody powder room in Germany designed by Bjørn Buchholz features a long plank of wood mounted along the sink wall. The medium tone of the wood adds a warm, organic touch to the space.
Wood Vanity Cabinets
7. Floating wood planks weren’t the only type of wood vanity that showed up among the most popular powder room photos. This vanity cabinet in an Austin powder room designed by Richard Hughes Architect features a weathered finish and three large cabinet pulls that double as towel holders.

@indpet, exactly! No need to assume wood is a problem. Another option is a marine finish (Tung oil spar finish).
I like 1 and 7 best. They all have nice parts to them.
