How To Help Clients Design Their Ideal Powder Room
Many homeowners focus on their powder room when it comes to remodeling or renovation time. Since it’s often the smallest room in their home, it’s easier and more cost-effective for them to go all out. It’s also a great option for those who want to test out a different design approach because it’s always hidden behind a closed door!
For clients who want to experiment, the powder room is often their first subject. With the smaller size, trying out bold design choices such as uncommon colors, tile, fixtures, and more is easier to do without breaking their budget. Below are some design elements that you can recommend to your clients who are considering designing their powder room:
Place Artistic Floor Tiles
With the limited floor space inside powder rooms, colorful or intricately patterned tiles are a great way to flex creativity muscles! Unique ceramics or cement-painted tiles are trendy materials for those who want to make a statement. Since the room has lower moisture and no shower area, extra creativity is easy because items don’t need to be waterproof.
Add Sculptural Elements
Bringing in more sculptural pieces adds a lot of flair to a powder room. Modern fixtures or textured wall tiles all have design features that accentuate elements of dimension
Choose a Floating or Wall-Mounted Vanity
Floating vanities, also known as wall-mounted vanities, are a popular option for those who want a unique look. They often have a contemporary look that completes sleek and modern bathroom designs. Take a look at the wall-mounted vanities at Alya Bath under the Paterno collection and the Ripley collection!
Experiment with Dark Walls
A quick and easy way to make a bold statement is by choosing a rich and dark color for the walls of a powder room. Timeless dark shades of indigo, navy blue, and true black wall coverings are always great picks! Pair a dark-colored wall with silver accents and you’ve got yourself a powder room that drips luxury.
Install Antique Brass Fixtures
Is quiet elegance more up their alley? Consider using antique brass fixtures, sconces, mirrors, and other accessories, instead of silver accents. Weathered brass pairs well with dark walls, and the warmth of the brass alongside contrasting light and dark elements is a trendy look of today!
Put Up Bold Floral Wallpaper
Clients don’t have to be a fan of Victorian-themed rooms to choose floral wallpaper. Whether they’re into modern abstract flowers or traditional, realistic blooms, floral wallpaper is the hot trend in powder rooms. Pricier wall coverings are also preferred by many because of the smaller space!
Use a Stunning Mirror!
As with many small rooms, mirrors are often a significant focal point. Does their powder room have a window? If the answer is yes, then mirrors enhance natural light and often help define design styles. Another tip involves installing mirrors around the area within a wall design so as to brighten the room with reflecting light, as well as create a visual illusion of having more windows in the space than there really are.
No matter what your creative vision or personal style is, the powder room is the ideal place to express creativity. This room is the best space for working with various vanity materials such as marble countertops, unique wood vanities, colorful tiles, and more. With the smaller area, splurging on higher-ended materials often doesn’t break the budget!
