9. Heavy Metal
Shimmery metallic finishes, including a botanical wallpaper, add glamour to this Minneapolis powder room by Vela. Elevating the design is the playful way the faucet resembles a stem and the pendant light a tulip, giving this intimate space an Alice-through-the-looking-glass feel.

4. Nice Niche
A recessed wood storage niche artfully draws attention in this San Francisco Bay Area bathroom by interior designer Cathie Hong. Notice how the floating concrete-colored countertop intersects the niche, leaving a section below to store towels. The wood adds warmth to an otherwise cool neutral palette, while the stacked-tile feature wall adds texture.

3. Black Beauty
Black walls, sink and other details create enveloping drama in this Frankfurt, Germany, powder room by architectural firm Krafft Planungsbüro. A floating wood countertop adds attention-grabbing warmth, but it’s hard not to be drawn to the suspended pipe that pours water into the black vessel sink.

2. Nautical Nods
In this Wisconsin lake house, Kowalske Kitchen & Bath anchored the powder room with a geometric floor tile in nautical colors, then played off that with navy blue paint that covers the top third of the walls and the ceiling. White shiplap paneling and a porthole-style window add nautical touches, while built-in cabinets provide plenty of storage.

1. Balance
Design-build firm Craftsmen’s Guild gave this San Jose, California, powder room pleasing symmetry — note how the herringbone backsplash is centered over the vanity. Two droopy pendant lights that recall earrings flank a round mirror, and the warm wood floating vanity’s cabinet and drawer arrangement adds to the beautifully balanced look.
