The Most Stunning Ideas for a Chic Powder Room

The powder room is often the most overlooked space when it comes to decorating. If you think about it, however, it’s one of the places that gets the most foot traffic when you’re entertaining guests. Since it’s such a small space, the half-bath is the perfect place to go big with wallpaper, sconces, and the like. Here, we give you some design ideas and a decorating guide to inspire you to switch up that powder room. 

Dainty

A combination of floral-printed wallpaper, gold details, and the different shades of pink is enough to pull off a dainty looking half bath. But if you really want everything to come together, make sure all the details are in theme such as the sink, faucet, and even the sconces. Go the extra mile and light a sweet scented candle when guests are over.

Modern

There are a million ways to take on modern design. Instead of the sleek and clean style, catch attention with a mash-up of both modern and Art Deco elements. Shy away from the typical shapes and go with a circular or oblong shaped mirror, gold or rose gold metal, and dark marble. Add more interesting details that stand out with chrome flower vases or brass elements with dark details.

Tropical

The easiest way to freshen up a tiny space is by injecting a tropical theme into it. Luckily, the famous Martinique wallpaper that adorns the Beverly Hills Hotel is available locally. Take it a notch higher by making it smell of greens by putting a candle that takes its scent from fresh fruits and herbs.

Black and White

Nothing quite says sophisticated than a space decked out in black and white. Break the monotony by playing with tiles and adding a gold tone through your faucets and light fixtures. A glossy finish is a more striking choice, but if you want to keep it cozy, opt for matte finishes. If you have a larger space, fill it up by adding a chair to your powder room.

Blue

Blues, chinoiserie, and antique style elements bring an old world feel that's always chic. Match your wallpaper to the fabric to keep it consistent, and add a contrasting color with the furniture to break the prints.
