Typically, in many homes, only a few tiles are installed around the wash basin near a common washroom. However, in this design, the entire area has been upgraded into a full-feature wash basin unit with decorative wall treatment, mirror integration, and practical storage.
The back wall incorporates charcoal-toned wooden louver paneling combined with a UV marble sheet placed behind the circular mirror. This combination adds depth and elegance while making maintenance easier. The mirror includes backlighting, which softly highlights the paneling and enhances the overall ambience, especially during evening use.
A bowl-type sink is used instead of a conventional inset basin. This design keeps moisture slightly elevated from the countertop surface, making cleaning easier while maintaining hygiene and reducing water spread.
The base cabinet unit is finished with laminated shutters for durability. Importantly, hydrophobic adhesive is recommended for such washroom-adjacent furniture to improve longevity. Options like Fevicol Marine or Astral Aqua glue are commonly used because they resist moisture damage and extend cabinet life.
Storage planning has also been thoughtfully executed. The unit includes four shutter shelves for concealed storage and two open shelves for frequently used items or décor accents. This ensures the space remains organized while still visually appealing.

Overall, this design demonstrates how even transitional spaces near washrooms can be elevated into elegant, practical interior features through thoughtful material selection, lighting design, and functional storage planning.
