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
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.
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
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.

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
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.
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
The sleek and sexy large format cappuccino travertine tiles in this powder room takes center stage. “The soft glow of the wall sconces, the glass floating vanity and wall mount faucet add major style points – all of our favorite things!” – Andrea Cornwell, owner + interior designer
