An Interview With Delphine Krakoff

Krakoff is the founder of Pample-mousse Design, a New York City--based interior design firm.

Bathrooms should be functional, inviting, and pretty. Clutter will automatically ruin the aesthetic, so it's important to edit your stuff. For my own homes, I've always been into a clean, all-white look.

Shine on. Good lighting is crucial, especially for putting on makeup. Never install a single light source directly above your head; it'll cast a shadow on your face. Instead, mount a sconce at eye level on either side of the mirror. And I have dimmers in the bathroom. I like to turn down the lights in the powder room when I'm entertaining.

Accessorize. For cotton balls and makeup brushes, I use Pyrex pharmacy jars, which have a vintage-laboratory feel. Antique silver cups and trays from a flea market are a bit more feminine. Just make sure to repeat the same aesthetic and color scheme everywhere from the garbage pail to the soap dish. If things don't coordinate, the room looks messy.
