THE PANELING & THE WINDOW

This powder room is one of the first spaces that Craig Tevolitz, principal of Boston-based Platemark Design, completed in a Wellesley home slated for a total redo. Tevolitz lined it with natural oak for warmth. “It’s a traditional wood in a contemporary form,’’ he said. “We’ll carry it throughout the house.’’ The round window, which initially stuck out like a porthole, now has a yacht-like feel.

THE TILES

To contrast with the oak walls, Tevolitz used 10-by-20-inch honed travertine-marble tiles from Roma Tile in Watertown on the floor and up the back wall.

THE ART

The spiral staircase depicted in the painting by North Shore-based artist Lee Essex Doyle, represented by Childs Gallery on Newbury Street, echoes the rhythm of the sconces. A rail is hidden in the ceiling so that artwork can be hung without drilling into the tile.

THE SCONCES

The curvilinear Studio Micah sconces by John Rosselli for Visual Comfort are in polished nickel and have an Art Deco feel.

THE VANITY & THE MIRROR

Avon-based Masterpiece Woodworks built and installed the paneling and the painted-wood vanity with integrated towel bar and one-touch drawer (all designed by Tevolitz). Masterpiece Woodworks collaborated with the general contractor, FBN Construction, and the glazier to ensure that the radius-edge mirror was recessed perfectly into the paneling. “The mirror reveals and highlights the sculptural beauty of the sconces and faucet,’’ Tevolitz said.
