Powder room help with sink.

11 years ago

I will a small powder room (8x5) and am thinking of using white cabinet and white marble countertop. I want a very contemporary look and am looking for a Kohler sink that will "pop." (I am limited to Kohler by the builder.) I am also looking for ideas to make this powder room dynamic. All ideas appreciated.

White cabinets and marble countertops are quintessentially traditional. If you are wishing for an ultra modern powder room starting with those products, you are going to have to rely on the mirror, faucet, and wallpaper to try to turn this into a modern look. It's going to be difficult. I would rethink the countertop at least.

HI - I have seen lots of very modern bathrooms with white cabinets and real marble countertops . It 's how these materials are used that show the style of either traditional or very modern.

Wallpaper or a dramatic paint job will render it modern
