Powder rooms are an important part of everyday functionality and living and are used frequently by visitors. Powder rooms can make a great impression on visitors and are a great way to showcase the design and style of your home.
We will review some essential tips and tricks for designing the perfect powder room in hopes of assisting you with your next renovation!
Tip #1 – Consider a Floating Toilet
- Great space saver if your powder room is tight and small.
- The tank is mounted into the wall allowing you to gain 4-6” of depth.
- Easy to clean underneath.
- Creates a modern aesthetic.
- Lots of designs available on the market and lots of finish options for flush plates to tie into your design scheme.
- Creates an illusion of space and airiness in a tight room.
Tip #2 – Be Bold
- Treat your powder room as a hidden gem in your home.
- Consider using bold colours, patterns, and prints that you gravitate towards and showcase your personal design style.
Tip #3 – Splurge
- Splurge on upgraded finishes, fixtures, and fittings. Since powder rooms are small, it’s a great way to upgrade products, such as tiles, since a smaller amount will be required within the space.
- Keep in mind that most of the upgraded finishes will be used daily so you will get the bang for your buck.
- Splurging on small items and details will make or break the design of your home. A small amount will go a long way.
Tip #4 – Wallpaper
- Great option for powder rooms as it doesn’t get wet or humid within the space.
- Wallpaper is durable and aesthetically pleasing. Once again, a great way to incorporate colours, textures, and prints into the room.
- Will add a luxe feel to the home.
Tip #5 – Don’t Overlook the Door
- Consider the way your door swings into the powder room. It can be a hassle dealing with a swinging door in a small space, especially since powder rooms are used daily.
- Consider a pocket door if space is limited and eliminate the swing altogether.
Tip #6 – Storage is Important
- Consider storage solutions when selecting the vanity. A freestanding or floating vanity will allow for storage, whereas a pedestal sink will not.
- If you have a pedestal sink, then consider a recessed medicine cabinet within the powder room.
- If you are not a fan of medicine cabinets, floating shelves or a small niche are great options if the layout allows.
