The contemporary nature of the wall mounted vessel sink and hand crafted mirror is further enhanced by horizontal striping on the walls. There is no doubt what the star of this room is.

The subtle Asian details in this room have been duplicated in all of the pieces. If you choose a theme for a room its success is always in the details.

This bathroom design is enhanced by the addition of the vertical strip of wood that backs the vanity and accentuates the asymmetrical placement of the sink. A round mirror works against the vertical line. The vase of twigs (wood again) mimics the vertical lines and helps to balance the asymmetrical layout.

This bathroom also relies on vertical wood detailing for interest. The pops of green bring a natural feel to the room.

When you have a free standing vanity using a floor to ceiling mirror behind it enlarges the room significantly and it also creates strong vertical lines. The dark cabinet with silver banding shows up well against the mirror.

You can count on high contrast to bring a room to life. There's nothing like black and white to create impact.
