Blue Bathroom

Build in a landing spot. 
A pedestal sink leaves much to be desired when it comes to storage. Extending the windowsill into a built-in ledge stylishly solves the problem.

Let there be light. 
Rather than hanging flush against the window and blocking all the light, this tall, narrow mirror casually leans above the pedestal sink.

Editor's Tip: 
Try wallpaper in a small space to kick it up a notch.
