Pressed metal wall is standout feature in this sleek powder room

It's rare for a designer to switch out a large window for a smaller one that's unless light and a sense of space are added in other ways. This is just one of the surprises in this powder room by owner/designer Jason Saunders of Arc Seven 1.
"This powder room occupies two-thirds of a redundant bathroom space in our renovated Art Deco-accented home," says Saunders. "One feature is the sleek Palomba countertop basin. As the elongated element didn't suit the casement windows behind, we replaced these with a mirror wall and added a slender vertical window to one side that echoes the shape of the basin."

While the large mirror doubles the feeling of space in the now modest-sized room, so too does the floating under-bench cabinet. On the opposite wall, seen in reflection, is a tall storage cabinet both units are in a moody smoked ash.
Wood is also seen in the stained recycled jarrah floorboards, chosen to match the home's existing floors and to help ground the space.

Saunders says the pressed tin wall surface is the stand-out feature of the powder room.
"This has had seven coats of paint applied and is finished in Porter's Specialty Liquid Tin a product that gives the metal an aged look."
