Does your little powder room need a facelift? Many designers are taking on these tiny rooms as fun challenges – making them look much bigger than they truly are. Seeing as the surface area of a powder room is fairly small, you can budget in some more luxurious materials. Brightly colored wallpaper, or even lining the floors, walls, and ceiling with the same ceramic tiles, seem to also be a hit for these tiny rooms. You can even try some ingenious sink and vanity combinations made of marble or concrete.
You can also integrate a hardwood floor to create an interesting contrast with the usual materials found in a bathroom – such as tiling. This different set of materials ends up turning a usual monochromatic color scheme even more relaxing and warm. Wood comes in all kinds of tones and varieties, allowing you to customize your bathroom to your personal preferences.
You can oppose yourself to the monotonous vibe of your bathroom by playing with patterns on the floors or walls. Try being original by breaking the linearity found in the bathroom’s furnishings. Asymmetrical shapes are becoming quite popular when it comes to the arrangement of cabinets, drawers and shelves.
As for storage, make the most out of your space with by adding some cabinets or shelving at greater heights than you would in a bigger washroom. Besides, bathroom cabinets tend to accumulate a great number of unused products. Rather than adding storage to your washroom, why not simply keeping storage space you truly need. Get rid of all that storage and keep only the necessities. Perfumes and creams may suffer because of the humidity in the room, so be sure they are stored in an enclosed cabinet. However, open storage areas – such as hanging shelves – can be ideal for daily essentials, all while keeping your bathroom looking unencumbered… and roomier.
Why not take little bathroom and turn it into a personal passion project & start your renovation today?
