POWDER ROOM
1. Attractive Accent The most popular powder room from spring 2021 is this stylish and serene space by Shannon Soro Interior Design in Toronto. The standout tile accent wall adds texture and style while still creating a clean, understated feel. The open vanity offers room for storage without closing up the room. And the round sconces and mirror throw in nice contrasting shapes in the otherwise rectilinear space.
3. Coastal Classic It wouldn’t be hard to guess that this powder room is in a beachy locale, given the rope-framed mirror and tropical leaf print wallpaper. The design from Karen B Wolf Interiors in coastal New York blends classic East Coast style elements, such as a stone-topped white vanity and penny tile floor, with playful island flair.
4. Textured Tile Zellige tile, wood details and a distressed mirror frame give this space from Frontier Custom Builders in Minneapolis a handmade quality. The colors bring richness to the room, while the mix of textures creates depth. Caged sconces coordinate with the oil-rubbed bronze finish of the towel ring and vanity hardware.
5. Moody Blues The blues and tans in this Austin, Texas, powder room by Bandd Design feel soft and earthy, while the mix of patterns and textures adds layers, drama and interest. Keeping everything in the same color family allowed the designers to make some bold choices without the space feeling too busy.
7. Spa Style Clean lines, rich organic colors and minimal clutter create a zen, spa-like feel in this space by Hatano Studio in Seattle. A wood screen adds texture, interest and some privacy between the toilet and sink. The screen and the mirror run all the way to the ceiling to emphasize the room’s height.
8. Elegant Touches The hammered metal sink, backlit mirror and glass pulls are just a few of the subtle luxe details in this Long Island, New York, home by Annette Jaffe Interiors. Botanical print wallpaper and a solid-slab backsplash eliminate the need for any additional wall decor and tie together the room’s mix of metals and materials.
9. Nifty Nook There’s a lot to love in this London powder room refurbished by Brian O’Tuama Architects, from the tropical print wallpaper to the built-in book ledge. The team made the most of the compact space, opting for a wall-mounted toilet and narrow sink. It even mounted the hand soap for extra efficiency.
A powder room is a space where a home’s design can let loose a little. Bold wall treatments, creative tile patterns and standout fixtures work great in a pocket-size room.

Stylish Storage This Atherton, California, powder room by Lexie Saine Design exudes elegance and functionality with a deep blue-gray floating vanity that has plenty of integrated storage. A black-and-white basketweave marble tile floor adds interest, while white walls and a white quartz counter keep the space feeling light and bright.
Letzring replaced existing low golden oak baseboards with more modern 5-inch baseboards painted white. One of the homeowners is a graphic artist, and she added olive green details to a map of Minnesota’s small airports, then chose a frame that coordinated with the wood accent wall. The clients were so excited about the new mudroom that they decided to start the kitchen remodel immediately instead of waiting a year. The black chalkboard wall, Shaker-style cabinets, pendant lights and herringbone backsplash tile will tie into the mudroom and powder room beautifully.
The powder room received a budget-friendly but impactful makeover during the mudroom remodel. Letzring extended the travertine herringbone floor into this space. She saved money by keeping the existing vanity, toilet and mirror. She painted the dated golden oak mirror and vanity olive green and added cute new porcelain knobs to the vanity. She also created an accent wall with adhesive wood paneling. These thin veneer planks are installed just like peel-and-stick tiles.
Stylish powder room sink. Designers often recommend that homeowners take a bit of a style leap of faith in a powder room. That’s because these often-small rooms lend themselves to becoming an intimate little world separate from the rest of the home. And while much attention is paid to adorning the walls with bold paint or wallpaper, the sink choice also deserves consideration. A powder room sink is a great opportunity to introduce something that’s a departure from the fixtures and finishes found elsewhere in your home. Plus, it’s a feature that you and your guests interact with — more so than the wallcovering — so it’s a great spot to incorporate something fun or unique. Sharon Kory Interiors won a Best of Houzz Design award for this Detroit bathroom, which features a stylish vessel sink with a swirling design detail.
