Crown Jewel
Powder Room, first floor

“It’s like the entrance to a castle,” says designer Karen Mandarino of Bella More Interior Design, describing the regal entry-level powder room, whose ceiling, walls and floor is lined with beautiful travertine and marble tile. To enhance the pedestal sink, which is the focal point of the room, Mandarino positioned a large, heavy decorative mirror above it. And to make up for the lack of windows, an elegant chandelier and flush-mount light fixtures are employed to bring light in the powder room. Additionally, an antique black-powder bench; a fresco scroll water receptacle; and planters with asparagus ferns were incorporated into the room to contribute to its lavish look. —C.P.
