Pretty Places to Wash Your Hands

Since we’re spending so much time at home washing our hands, we asked Northwest Arkansas interior designers to share their favorite spaces to tidy up. From spa-like tones to warm woods to vibrant vibes, be ever-inspired to wash those hands!

“In this guest bath we used ‘Queen of Spain’ wallpaper by Schumacher. It was introduced in 1963 and has a painterly quality. I love the contrast of this mid century design of the wallpaper with the custom white oak vanity and polished nickel light fixtures and matte black faucet.” – Kimberly Harper, interior designer

Cubist Clean

Neutral tones, clean lines and classic white marble create a tranquil and serene space. Brass accents add a touch of warmth and the cubist wallpaper adds an artful touch and sense of depth to this pretty powder bath.

Agua Azul

This is the epitome of cabana bath. “I wanted to bring in the blue of the water to the bathroom and you can see that we did that through the custom paint color on the vanity and the wallpapers colors.” – Nana Winters, owner + interior designer

Reclaimed Relics

This traditional mud room/half-bath is designed with a custom sink constructed from an 18th century Swiss horse trough which is anchored with copper hardware and fittings. The deep sink is the perfect basin to wash your hands and clean up after a morning of gardening in the flower beds. The walls are covered in 4 Chiens by Carelton V Ltd., and the glass shelf contains a collection of antique apothecary bottles.

Double Duty

This powder bath for our clients also doubles as a pool bath. The inspiration was simplicity, style and hardiness for a busy family as kids and friends frequent during their long summer pool days. The New Ravenna tile was hand cut. It is all natural stone and was intricately installed to create an IKAT pattern. The sink which is a frosted modern vessel complemented the tile work, but did not steal the show.” – Lee Anne Stelte, owner + interior designer

Room with a View

This space is special because of the use of elevated materials ranging from the marble wall surround, brass and alabaster sconces, custom cabinetry detail with self opening and closing drawers along with the floor to ceiling window that lets the lighting pour in with amazing sunrise views.

Into the Woods

This small pantry was transformed into a perfect little rustic powder room in a historic home in Fayetteville. “We used a repurposed wood on the feature wall and wallpaper cut like wood logs on the other walls. The live edge counter featured a concrete sink with a black wall faucet.” – Jenny Campbell, owner + interior designer

Au Naturel

Ordered a #selfiestick (I know! Guess I’m one of those people now?) that turns into a #tripod with a wireless remote to start doing videos of my projects. I know I should have started doing them when I first moved into the house & working on projects. I do have photos of the before & after but I was a bit rushed on the move in part to really set up something the right way...so the selfie stick. I’ll try to restage some of the techniques I used for the completed projects and video document the new ones as I remodel the house.
