As powder room usually is a small space where you do not worry as much of water splashes and steam as in bathrooms, it gives a lot of design and wall coverage choices from more simplistic to bolder designs.

Mirror is one of the essentials from all the accessories in the powder room. And choosing a unique mirror shape to decorate the powder room can transform the space. A large mirror can create an illusion in our mind of the room being more spacious and choosing a unique design mirror will further add personality to the room. In the powder room interior design by Jacy above we can see an example of a high contrast black and white design with the London Metro Lines Removable Wallpaper In Black And Off White from the Bathroom Wallpaper collection and a beautiful statement round shape mirror with detailing that has been placed on the wall to hang. If lighting is important in your everyday preparations and make-up retouches then LED mirrors will be a great and modern choice in your house.

 

Creative Lighting Solutions

Another important part of any interior design is light as it will determine the mood and how welcoming and warm the space will feel. There are different choices to pick from such as scones, pendant lights, LED strips and even LED mirrors. If you want to place it different zones, then scones and LED strips can be a great choice. However, if the powder room is quite small, then a beautiful pendant light and functional LED mirror can set a warm and intimate atmosphere as well. If you have a window in the powder room, it is also important to consider the natural light in the powder room and see what type of light solution matches and blend with natural light best. In the photo above we can see an example of a gorgeous powder room design by Farmhouse Living and beautiful scones light that pair well with the patterned wallpaper with flowers - Toile Pattern Removable Wallpaper from the Blue Wallpaper collection.

 

Floating Shelves and Open Storage

To keep the storage modern and clutter-free pick some beautiful design different size light wood storage boxes that will compliment other decor and will be easy to reach and place all of the essentials and accessories inside. Another great idea to maximise the space and comfort in your powder room is to choose pocket doors or stunning modern natural wood sliding barn door to add texture, some character to the space and a sense and feeling of warmth. Unique wood doors will also go very well with unique light wood floor and create a timeless powder room look.

It is important to think about eco-friendly and sustainable materials when choosing fixtures and fittings and decor for the powder room. We suggest to start by choosing eco-friendly material wall coverage such as PVC and vinyl free wallpaper, recycled tiles, water-saving fixtures and incorporate energy-efficient light. It is also important to think about the powder room floor as there are plenty of eco-friendly and sustainable floor materials other than marble to create a gorgeous statement powder room and bathroom floor and finish the look.
