TURN THE TINIEST ROOM IN YOUR HOME INTO A GUEST-READY HAVEN WITH OUR 20 EXPERT TIPS
.
It may be the smallest room in the home but, as one of the most frequented, your powder room needs to pack a powerful punch, just as this stylish Studio Black Interiors design does. “Your powder room should reflect how you want your guests to feel when they’re in your home: welcome, comfortable and refreshed,” says Paris Dean, sales manager at surface specialists Cosentino. It can also be one of the most enjoyable spaces in the home to decorate – the limited square footage means you can splurge on materials. And without steam or moisture to contend with, you can go wild with the colors, patterns and even artwork.1 in the spotlight
Decorative sconces (here and below right) are having a moment in powder room design, says Clayton Driessen, architectural lighting designer at Beacon Lighting. “Not only do they frame your mirror, but they also help to solidify your decor style, be it Art Deco or Hamptons,” he explains. “Pick up on other colors and materials like tapware and tiles to find the perfect sconce for your space.”
2. STORE AWAY
Consider whether your powder room will be used mainly for lippy touch-ups and easy loo access, or whether you’ll want space to store toothbrushes and razors. “For storing bulky items, go for a vanity with built-in storage,” says Amy Revell, founder of The Art of Decluttering. “Opt for drawers with dividers – things are less likely to languish at the back.”
3. CONCEALED CISTERN
If space is limited, choose a wall-hung toilet (right). “These need less room compared to a toilet suite with a ceramic cistern,” says Franco Parisi, COO of Parisi.
