3. Rustic Radiance This powder room combines rustic and industrial elements via its brick accent wall. While the brick may look like an exposed wall of a loft or reclaimed warehouse, it’s in fact made of a brick veneer product that the designer over-grouted using a German smear technique. Design takeaway: If you opt for a floating vanity in a powder room, consider adding a basket underneath for storage needs.
9. Open SesameOpen shelving isn’t for everyone, even in a guest bathroom or powder room, as it exposes your plumbing and everything you might like to hide underneath the sink. But it can be worth it, as evidenced by this open vanity made of mitered pieces of solid cedar. The piece mixes natural with industrial by exposing the plumbing and adding the concrete element of the sink. Design takeaway: By keeping the shelving in a powder room clean and open, it helps the small space feel bigger.

3. Chevron: the same, but different. Another compromise for subway tile enthusiasts is this alternative layout. Flat, rectangular tiles are positioned in a chevron pattern to give them a modern edge. The effect is stylish and interesting, and the diagonal lines tie in with the patterned design elsewhere.A layout like this would work well in a room with a herringbone parquet floor forming a pleasing imitation of the design on the wall.
