World Tour

Inject international charm with porcelain tile by iconic British designer Nina Campbell in collaboration with Fired Earth. The Udaipur Blue design is inspired by the city’s palaces while Cochin Green is based on a hand-painted archival piece with embroidered petal shapes.

Fab Collab

Designer Shea McGee of Studio McGee has a new collaboration with Kohler. Referencing Kohler’s archival designs, the eight-piece Claude collection features timeless silhouettes, organic materials, mixed metals and nature-inspired colours. The vanity, for instance, is in a warm walnut tone, accented with polished nickel hardware and a stone-look top. The skirted smart toilet neatly conceals the inner workings, and a shapely freestanding tub has moulding-like embellishments.

Rounding Up

“This powder room had a compact footprint so the sink was positioned to one side of the vanity to accommodate the toilet,” says Shauna Walton, who designed this space. “To balance the composition, we chose a series of alabaster orb sconces by Allied Maker. We mapped their placement in our CAD elevations, then completed a full-scale mock-up on-site to ensure the spacing and positioning felt just right.”

Vanity Fare

Try one of these elegant single-sink vanities for your next powder room upgrade. Whimsical bobbin legs and a curved front make one vanity a standout. Consider soft sage-hued vanity with slim Shaker-style profile, or get inspired by one with an oak veneer and toggle handles that give it a substantial Mission look.
