Behind the vanity, run a panel of vertical oak slats from counter to ceiling. It instantly warms the space and adds texture. Finish with thin black sconces, a frameless round mirror, and simple concrete-look floor tile for an effortless balance.
- Palette: White, matte black, natural oak, soft gray
- Standouts: Slatted oak backsplash, floating vanity, round mirror
