Powder room elements clashing?

In the home we are building there will be a 5' X 8' half bath. We are just a little past framing stage so I don't think a picture would help. I want to do some bold colors or paper in there and need some suggestions that will work with the sink. The one thing I have ordered is the faucet in champagne bronze.

Our son is making a concrete sink with a stand for this space. I love the idea of the one of a kind sink . We can use any color concrete stain and metal for the stand. (Well, not gold plated like I might want....) I will add an example of what we have discussed for a sink design. This is the first time I have posted a picture and can only get one at a time it seems. Maybe it's my iPad?

The photo below (from Houzz) is of a wallpaper I would love to use but I am concerned the sink will look too industrial to ever look good with the paper. I am at the early stage of planning so nothing is set in concrete yet. Hopefully I have provided enough to get suggestions of paper, lights, a mirror that would work with my style of sink. The electrician is wiring for a sconce on either side of the mirror. I would be very grateful for your input! This tiny space has me at a standstill.

I think the sink has an Asian look to it so it should look nice with that wallpaper. It will all depend on what color you do the concrete. I love that paper. Who makes it? Did you ask about that paper once before? If not, someone else here was going to use it, but I think in a different colorway.

Thanks! It is by Osborne and Little. Someone else did post it last fall which I just found by searching Koi paper.

Is that the style of stand the sink will be on? I think that is what gives it an industrial feeling that I personally wouldn't use with that beautiful paper.

Can that sink/vanity top be put on another type base? I looked at the Trueform website and saw one the sinks put on a wooden base. See link below.

Do you like the other elements in the photo you posted or was that just to show the wallpaper?

Can you help us help you by showing us other items that YOU'D like to use in the room, so we can get a feel for your taste? I have been looking at the Horchow lighting sale and they have some incredible sconces. All lighting is 20% off this weekend and most with free shipping, too. Check there and see if there is anything that you like stylewise and post a link for us?

Here is a link that might be useful: See last row, second sink stand from right

I think this would look lovely.

Excellent choice! Love the faucet. Are you going with this finish?

Janice- thank you and yes, that is the finish I have ordered. I love the soft color.
My3dogs- Thank you for the link to the other stands. It doesn't need to be the one pictured; that is one my son felt he could easily make. I may just order a stand for the sink for a more polished look. Like this:

I do like all the elements in the first room. I have several lights saved in my favorites for this room, including one from Horchow so thanks for the heads up on the sale. I found a few others plus a mirror. Any favorites of these sconces? It will be hard to pick a pair!
