Powder Rooms. This large floorplan provides an easy path to all handicap-accessible fixtures. Choosing provocative materials to bolster what can sometimes be an offensive place became essential. Mesmerizing frosted sconces cast a luminous glow across the 12×24-inch textured porcelain walls. A stainless trough sink is the perfect contrast, while a striking Serafina granite counter provides refined style. Beautifully striated titanium hues of the 24×24-inch floor tiles installed on the diagonal renders undeniable quality. While maintenance of the finishes might seem intimidating, cleaning requirements are very basic. Lori W. Carroll cool-comfort
