Big Ideas in Small Spaces: 3 Ways to Make Your Powder Room or Small Bath Memorable

Is your powder room ready for company? As the room most often seen by guests, our powder rooms and small bathrooms deserve the same design attention we give the rest of our homes during a whole home remodel. Because of their limited space, it’s exciting to experiment with unusual materials and colors in your small bathroom. Here are three ways your powder room or small bathroom can make an impression:

Maximize Materials
A dramatic and luxurious material that might not be practical in a larger bathroom can make perfect sense for your small space. The details of materials are more closely appreciated in a small room. The amazing tile wall and floor in this bath shown above was meticulously custom designed with an intricate gradient of colors to evoke a sunlit ocean wave washing into the room.

Go Bold with Color
A small space gives you the freedom to experiment with colors you may be cautious about in other areas of your home. The rich chocolate brown and mocha in the sleek powder room above right are memorably luxurious in both tone and texture.

Light and Decorate for Drama
This is a room where the main goal is to make an impression! Mirrors with unusual shapes work perfectly in the powder room. Lighting chosen for effect rather than function finds its proper home here, too. The gold leaf lighting in this glittering bath is designed on a cable system with weights to adjust the height, a functional solution with Asian roots.

Working with a professional design team you can discover your most exciting options for design in your small bath or powder room. Take your imagination to the limits and you’ll be inspired to invite guests over to see your new space!
