Small Powder Room Ideas for a Stylish Space
If you’re ready to make a bold statement in your powder bath, you’ve come to the right place! The room may be small, but it's more than just four walls; it's a blank canvas waiting to be splashed with color and personality.
We’re sharing our powder room design ideas to transform your builder-grade space into a personalized and stylish bathroom.
Transforming your Powder Room Walls
With any room, your walls are the foundation. This is where your personality can truly shine either through wall paper, paint, or accent walls. For your powder bath, there are two ways we recommend when you can change your white walls.
Elevate Your Bathrooms with Wallpaper
Wallpaper is one of our favorite ways to make a room go from drab to fab. Often overlooked, but it is a powerful tool that can transform any blank walls into a work of art. Consider a bold color on all four walls for a cohesive look or opt for a fun print that resonates with your style.
Here’s some inspiration!
We recently transformed a bathroom using retro coastal wallpaper, instantly transporting the space to a vintage California vibe.
In another project, we involved playful flamingos to bring a touch of Florida to life.
For this vacation rental on Anna Maria Island, we transformed this bathroom into an indoor aquarium with it’s tropical, fish-themed wallpaper.
If you're not ready for a full four-wall commitment, start with one accent wall featuring a bold print to make a stunning impact.
The Power of Bold Wall Colors:
If wallpaper isn't your style, experiment with paint colors. Choose shades that complement your powder bath theme, going beyond traditional neutrals. Think bright colors to make the small space feel bigger like splashes of light blue, a blush pink, or a soft green.
Enhancing Your Space with Hardware:
Upgrade your powder room's aesthetic with detailed and sleek hardware. Match your drawer pulls and knobs with your other hardware and sink faucet for a cohesive look. Try polished brass, brushed nickel, or chrome to add a touch of luxury to your space.
The hardware should be an extension of your style, adding an extra layer of sophistication to the room. Create a theme by coordinating the hardware with the wallpaper or wall color.
For coastal chic, try nautical-themed hardware with a soft blue wallpaper. For a vintage oasis, experiment with brushed nickel hardware and lavish details against a patterned wallpaper. Seeking a luxurious feel? Opt for chrome hardware with a deep, rich wall color.
Unique Mirror Designs:
Ditch the builder-grade oval mirror for something unique. Experiment with square, rounded edges, or funky-designed mirrors that add character.
Mirrors play a crucial role in expanding small areas, making your powder room feel more open and inviting. Match the shape and style of the mirror with the overall theme of your powder bath.
For a coastal bathroom, try a rope mirror. For a luxe bath, try an arched mirror.
Bathroom Lighting Ideas to Brighten Up Your Space:
Lighting can significantly impact the ambiance of your powder room. Install a vanity light above the mirror or stylish wall sconces on the side.
Hanging a chandelier can also elevate the room's elegance and tie together the theme as well. Combine these fixtures with LED can lighting to brighten up the small space, enhancing both design and functionality.
Powder Bath Decorating Ideas:
Small details make a big difference. When sprucing up your powder room, think about adding a fun soap dispenser on the counter, bringing in some greenery or flowers like an orchid (our personal favorite), and hanging a picture above the toilet.
You might also consider getting a nice-looking waste basket, a holder for hand towels, or some open shelves to complete the look. It's these small touches that can really make your room look and feel designer fantastic!
Small Bathroom Vanity Ideas:
If you're building from scratch, invest in a high-quality vanity to anchor your powder room. We love Madegoods when looking for high-quality vanities, their luxury and craftsmanship can elevate an entire space.
A well-designed vanity becomes a focal point, seamlessly blending with the theme you've created for your powder room.
When transforming your powder bathroom, remember every detail matters. By following these tips, you can turn your small space into a fan-favorite in your home. Remember, it's the little touches that make a big impact.
