4 INSIDER TIPS FOR A DESIGNER POWDER ROOM

When it comes to giving your home a renovation facelift, the powder room is a space where you don’t have to be afraid to take a few design risks. After all, this often overlooked small space sets the tone for entertaining. Whether you’re hosting happy hour, brunch, or a holiday party, this little room has the power to make a big statement. Let's take an insider's look at the top four trending tips to give your powder room more star power for your guests.

1.  Pick a creative, vibrant theme While most rooms in your home work best with neutral tones and pops of color throughout, not so in the powder room! Be creative and pick a theme that speaks to you, such as coastal, romantic, or even industrial. Not sure how to pick one? A professional designer can listen and help guide you in the right direction. 2.  Textures and patterns are in!          What better way to show off your powder room theme than with distinctive wall textures and patterns? A powder room's layout is simple, so choose a colorful paint, wallpaper or tile with bold contrast, such as this stone wall (pictured). A statement wall is a more subtle way to incorporate color and texture without overwhelming your space. If this much texture is too much for you - a colorful framed mirror can be exciting.  3.  Combine form with function It’s important to think about how you want to use the space when designing your powder room. Will you need storage for bathroom toiletries and towels? Incorporating smart functionality into your space will make it even more beautiful. This is when working with a designer and contractor in one place is key. 4.  Showcase your vanity Strategic play of light and illusion is effective in small rooms, and the powder room is no exception. Wall sconces flanking the vanity tend to work well in this setting, and a large stately mirror is a good centerpiece. Think outside the box with a beautiful vanity with natural stone countertop and under-sink storage that resembles a piece of furniture.
