02 Apr Powder Bath Interior Design Ideas
Powder baths are great spaces to have a little fun – to add drama or whimsy. Like the rest of your house they can showcase your personality, however these small spaces allow us to show off your more colorful side without overwhelming. Below are some ways to add some wow to your power bath interior design.
Go Bold With Your Walls
Don’t be afraid to go big with your color choice – you can even go dark. I love adding wallpaper to powder baths, though many homeowners shy away from it due to past experiences. If installed improperly wallpaper can be very difficult to remove, but if you hire a professional paper hanger you will have no problem removing it when you want a change. Today’s wall coverings really run the design gamut with bold prints, metallic and textures, and they can fit into any interior design style from rustic to contemporary.
Unique Vanity and Countertop Pairings
Vanities and countertops can be paired together to add some personality too. Push the envelope with your choice of paint or stain finish on your cabinetry, and then add some unique hardware. Since powder bath vanities tend to be small you can take advantage of countertop remnants to get a granite or quartz that is unusual and might normally be out of your price range.
Play With Your Fixtures
The light fixtures and plumbing you select also help to define your look. Lights can be hung above the vanity mirror or you can find sconces to position on either side. I like the look of pendants hanging from the ceiling in powder baths or even a chandelier. These small spaces also offer the opportunity to choose sinks and faucets that may not be practical elsewhere in your home. A vessel sink with a wall-mounted faucet is an impactful look. Feel free to choose a finish that may be a bit more trendy – black and gold are both popular right now.
Reflect on Reflection
Mirrors are the last design element that can cap off your look. You can go as simple as a mirror with a metal frame or a wood carved mirror with more pizzazz. I like to have my mirrors custom made so I can get just the right size and finish to complete the design.
Allow yourself to have some fun when designing your powder bath. They are easy spaces to try stepping out of your comfort zone! Enjoy the process of creating a unique space that your guests will enjoy.
