Powder Rooms & Focal Points - Think Bamboo

You have two options when you create a look for a powder room: typical or out-of-the-box.

It doesn’t take much to make it interesting if you decide on a focal point and design around that.

I think making the sink the star of the power room is a great way to switch things up, and in the case of an Asian theme, bamboo combines modern and traditional.

Asian design creates a quiet, Zen-like space near the main living area and, when entertaining, provides guests with a bit of a surprise that can be different from the rest of the house. Because the space is small by definition, the best design is spare and uncluttered, which fits perfectly into an Asian motif.

Have you ever seen a bamboo sink? It is simple in composition and look while maintaining an elegant and understated beauty.

Bamboo sinks from Solera Sinks are some of the best on the market. I love Solera’s quality and well-designed products.

The sink isn’t the only component of a powder room, of course. The vanity should be in harmony with the sink, which means slab doors (flat, with no frame or panel) in a natural wood finish.

The flooring might be a dark tile, perhaps in a faux-wood finish and a plait or herringbone pattern, topped off with a neutral paint color and organic hardware.


The result: harmony among the style elements to convey beauty, calm and a sense of well-being, even if only for a few minutes.
