Called all kinds of names – hall bathroom, powder room, guest bath, half bath, little’s girl’s or boy’s room, it’s probably the smallest room in your home. And, all too often, it’s the most blandly decorated room in our home. And worse still, it’s probably the room most often frequented by your guests!
So, why not let your imagination and creativity flow into overtime — make a bold statement in the room! Work on creating a focal point. It’s not uncommon for these small rooms to have no window, and, let’s face it, there’s not much beautiful about a toilet and vanity.
Here are a few ideas you might wish to incorporate when considering giving this room a complete makeover.
1. Start with the vanity. Replacing a plain laminate top with a beautiful quartz surface might be just the ticket. Or, how about considering some of the handsome furniture pieces that are not only graciously designed, but fully functional as well. They can totally transform the space and give the small powder room a fabulous focal point.
2. Dramatic wallpaper could certainly reduce the boxy feeling these small rooms are typically known for. Think about selecting something exciting and spectacular! Today’s wallcoverings come in a wide array of texture and colors — just think of the drama you can create.
3. Flooring options. Consider replacing that vinyl with a new LVP (luxury vinyl plank), LVT (luxury vinyl tile) or a patterned tile floor for added character. Even a multi-patterned area rug, might add just the right touch to this often-used space.
So how about it! Check out your powder room. Could it use a little makeover – or a large redo? If so, give us a call, and let us help you create a room that your guests will be unable to stop raving about! (850) 244-2255, stacy@decoratingden.com, www.ss.decoratingden.com, Niceville.
