NKBA Puget Sound 2024 Award Winner: A Powder Room That Redefines Luxury in Small Spaces

We’re proud to share that our “Metallic Mosaic” powder room has been awarded the 2024 NKBA Puget Sound Design Award in the Powder Room category. Presented by the National Kitchen & Bath Association, this honor celebrates forward-thinking design and exceptional craftsmanship, a true reflection of the care, creativity, and precision behind every detail.

Transforming Constraints into Statements

In a home already rich with personality, our Principal Designer, Shefali Thomas, saw untapped potential in one of its smallest spaces: the powder room. Tucked at the heart of the home, this often-overlooked area became a focal point for a bold and sophisticated transformation. The vision? To create a guest-facing room that embodied modern luxury—visually striking, yet warm and inviting. Every design choice was intentional, blending practicality with high design.

Statement Wall: Chevron with a Golden Edge

The showstopper of the room is the chevron-patterned accent wall. Marble-like white tiles are detailed with soft gold veining, creating a sense of movement and elevating the room with subtle drama. This striking feature sets the tone for the entire space: refined, confident, and cohesive.

Gold Accents, Seamless Surfaces & Balanced Illumination

Against the geometric backdrop, a tall oval mirror softens the lines. Framed in slim brushed gold, it complements the wall without overpowering it. Flanking the mirror, twin round sconces with opal globes offer a flattering glow—perfect for a space that’s as functional as it is elegant. Overhead, a recessed light ensures the room remains bright and shadow-free.

The brushed gold finish continues in the gooseneck faucet, towel ring, and hardware, unifying the room’s aesthetic. A sleek stone-veneered countertop made of quartz features subtle veining and an undermount sink, adding both visual spaciousness and ease of use.

Mood Board: Textures, Tones, and Touches

The material board tells a story of harmony. White finishes, patterned surfaces, and golden accents working together to deliver a clean, modern look with a touch of glamour. A single orchid sits on the counter, offering an organic, calming contrast to the bold design.

Before and After: A Space Reimagined

Luxury in the Details

This project proves that small doesn’t mean limited. Every square inch was thoughtfully used to deliver elegance, function, and impact. From the chevron statement wall to the seamless surfaces and curated lighting, the “Metallic Mosaic” powder room is an award-winning example of how design constraints can become creative opportunities.
