When only a single-sink vanity will do — in small, guest and kids' bathrooms — there are still an abundance of designs that don't sacrifice storage space or style.

View Through an Opposing Lens

Create an interesting and stylish design by working with contrasting elements. Black-and-white wallpaper in a striking foliage print juxtaposes against the natural wood vanity in this organic contemporary bathroom. Linear sconces, along with well-chosen accessories, bring in modern geometrics.

Yes, you can even use cane in the bathroom! The Pure Salt Interiors team did in this Costa Mesa, California project. An oak vanity pops against sparkling white walls, while cane detailing on the cabinet’s face gives added flair. “We love getting playful with materials to bring more interest to a room, especially in small spaces like this bathroom,” says Aly Morford and Leigh Lincoln, co-founders of Pure Salt.
