2. Beachside inspiration
You can’t go wrong with opposites on the colour wheel, a point well illustrated by this space designed by Studio Nishita Kamdar. This two-toned powder room is a little sliver of the seaside, with the wall featuring a sand-inspired lower half and a sea-blue upper half. The Mediterranean-meets-Mughal flower motif on the tiles is a medley of eastern and western sensibilities. The custom terracotta sink blends in well with the sandstone-coloured tiles.

3. Colour me bright
This eclectic space, also designed by Khosla Associates, is an indoor version of sunshine and the skies. The room uses cheerful colours and a cleverly placed blue-rimmed mirror helps amplify the space. The bright-yellow sink base is fashioned as a low Parisian-inspired platform, complete with delicate arches and tapered legs. The ivory vessel sink and deck-mounted mixer tap make for excellent design inspiration.

5. Quirky monochrome
Black and white is a classic combination that can really turn a place around. This space, designed by Quirk Studio, creates a sense of quirkiness and whimsy with the zingy zigzag pattern on the floor – the star of the show. The muted colours on the walls and fixtures act as a gentle backdrop to the flooring. A similar herringbone pattern is introduced by the wooden door.

6. Warmth of wood
This wood-panelled powder room by Patel-Vadodaria Design Research Studio isn’t elaborate, but it certainly warms the heart. The floor-to-ceiling wood panelling features a pair of indigo central squares that break up the expanse of wood-brown and connect to the cool blue-grey of the floor and countertop.

7. Middle-Eastern theme

8. Factory-inspired elements
Bring industrial elements like corrugated iron, exhaust pipes and repurposed metals in the spotlight. This bathroom features a metal mirror frame, antique sewing machines and dark walls. The crisscross lamps are reminiscent of fixtures typical of assembly lines.

Ambient lighting can create a moody cocoon in any room of the house. This powder room by The Orange Lane glows in a warm band of light, thanks to the overhead lamps. The circular copper mirror pairs well with the marbled brown tiles.

11. British colonial design
This rustic red powder room by P S Design seems right out of a colonial British villa. The exquisite metal mirror, fringed by flowers, looks almost like a mosaic. The textured gold wall behind it works as a stylistic frame, highlighting its precious centrepiece. The old-world pedestal sink salutes the architectural heritage created by the British in India.

This bathroom, designed by Khosla Associates, offers a smoky backdrop that infuses a moody vibe to the space. The deep-charcoal palette is an androgynous spin on modern design, while the walnut mirror frame strikes a harmonious balance. An egg-white porcelain sink is mounted on a four-legged stone base and the wall on the left wears a splash of colour, courtesy a zany abstract painting.
