The Luxury Powder Room

“It’s a simple palette with various patterns and shapes that weave together a perfectly traditional space,” Normandy Designer Laura Barber says. “The restrained color story allows the marble to shine, and the interplay of mosaics, bevels, and stone patterns creates depth without overwhelming the small footprint.”
At the center of the design is a console sink with a striking black marble top. The floor features a black-and-white marble mosaic edged with a marble baseboard that adds to the sophisticated tone. The sink wall is clad in white marble tile and features an integrated mirror with beveled edge. “The marble mirror frame is modest in size in order to match the small space,” Laura says. “The beveled accents are a subtle defining feature that gives the design a beautifully tailored finish.” Simple wallpaper adds another layer of light texture.
Polished nickel hardware provides the final layer of refinement. It offers a sleek counterpoint as the finish on the faucet with classic cross handles, all the way to the exposed plumbing. “The console’s polished nickel legs, with subtle hexagonal features, inspired the selection of the coordinating light fixtures,” Laura explains. “Polished nickel adds that tailored shine and works beautifully with marble’s natural softness.”
While marble is a delicate material that requires mindful care, Laura notes, “Surface damage from certain personal care products is less likely in a powder room which experiences less daily wear than a full bath.” For this reason, a powder room is an ideal space to go big with high-end materials like marble, that require more attention.
“This powder room is a perfectly balanced expression of traditional design,” Laura says. “It’s an understated approach to luxury that is still rich with interest and depth.”
