Are you doing a home renovation? Don’t forget the powder room. The powder room, often tucked away near the entryway or living area, is a small but impactful space in your home. It is your fancy bathroom and leaves a lasting impression on your guests.
When it comes to powder room remodels, don’t skimp. Splurge on the little details and accessories. After all, it’s your show off bathroom- you want to impress your guests!
Powder Room Design Ideas
1. Bold Wallpaper
Make your powder room standout with bold, statement wallpaper.
Bold Patterns: Choose eye-catching wallpaper with geometric or floral patterns. Metallic wallpaper colors complements that lighting fixtures. The powder room below shows a gold and silver wallpaper. As you can see, the gold accentuates the gold lighting fixtures and gold faucet.
Textured Wallpaper: I love using grasscloth for added texture. A faux leather wallpaper texture gives it a bold look and added depth.
Ceiling-to-Floor Coverage: Don’t skimp on the wallpaper. Cover all walls or create an accent wall behind the vanity for a bold look. The powder room above makes a bold statement, wrapped in the cherry blossom wallpaper.
2. Luxurious Materials for the Powder Room
Marble Vanity: A small powder room is the perfect place to indulge in marble.
Marble Everything: Go bold and show off your powder room. The powder room pictured above has gone all out with marble from the backwall to the countertop. The black and white marble tile patterns also gives it a luxurious touch, reminiscent of the Hermes logo!
Gold or Brass Fixtures: Faucets, mirrors, and towel holders add elegance.
3. Mirrors with Personality
Antique Mirrors: Vintage frames or distressed glass add character.
Oversized Mirrors: Reflect light and visually expand the space.
4. Dramatic Lighting
Sconces: Flank the mirror for flattering illumination.
Chandeliers: Mini chandeliers or crystal pendants create drama. The powder room below uses mirrors and various lighting to create a glamourous, jewel box powder room feel.
5. Vintage Vanities with Exposed Plumbing
Vintage Look: The clean look of vintage vanities with exposed plumbing adds to the elegant, luxurious feel of the powder room.
6. Artwork and Sculptures
Gallery Wall: Hang a collection of small framed art pieces. As you can see in the powder room below, there is a collection of Chinese doll cut-outs which gives the powder room a bit of a jeweled box feel.
7. Bold Color Choices
Dark and Moody: Add drama to your powder room with dark and moody colors such as navy blue, charcoal gray, or deep green. The powder room below uses black and emerald green tiles to give some drama.
9. Flooring Drama
Patterned Tiles: Make your powder room standout with unique patterned tiles. If you’re looking to splurge on any room, the powder room is it! Go bold with exquisite pattered tiles- Moroccan, herringbone, or encaustic tiles.
The powder room below has a unique tile pattern that I’m in love with. And that crystal faucet fixture is exquisite.
10. Fresh Flowers
Fresh Flowers: A small vase with a bouquet adds instant charm. I love a small arrangement of cream roses in the powder room. It adds a touch of elegance to the powder room below.
