They may be small, but they can also be mighty. Half baths are the ones that are used mostly by guests so you want them looking their best. When it comes to pulling off a big-impact look with minimal square footage, you have to be strategic. From playing with pattern, to bold color, to making your room feel way larger than it actually is – here are some ideas to pack a punch in your powder room.
Floating Cabinetry
A floating sink means more room for storage underneath—or more free visual space if you want your room to appear larger.
Tile
From flooring to the backsplash, tile can serve many functions in your powder room. While many homeowners play it safe with predictable styles, the powder room environment is well-suited to daring designs that might not work elsewhere or would simply be too expensive in larger rooms. Take a risk with bright colors or with texturized tile. Integrate a sculptural feel with dimensional tiles, which make your powder room feel like a work of art.
Fixtures
Often thought of as purely functional, hardware can serve a surprisingly decorative purpose. Think of hardware as your powder room’s version of jewelry. No matter your preferences, hardware should match the general vibes of the room; seek contemporary fixtures to complement modern designs or elegant hardware to accompany a classic style.
Lighting
Light fixtures aren’t merely meant to illuminate your powder room; they can prove decorative in and of themselves. Don’t hesitate to select unique designs.
Mixing Metals
Mixing metals in the bath is a hot, new trend. It used to be considered a design no-no to mix metals in a bathroom. You had to have polished chrome or nickel everything. Combining different metal finishes creates depth and adds visual interest in any room. You should choose a dominant metal. Chrome is a simple, classic, and beautiful dominant metal. Next, add in one or two accent metals.
Wallpaper
Wallpaper is back — but it never should have gone out of style in the first place. Easy and inexpensive to integrate into both powder rooms and larger bathrooms, wallpaper provides the perfect opportunity for changing it up with an eye-catching design.
