Tasteful nods to a modern northwoods camp aesthetic abound in this luxury cabin. In the powder bath, handprinted cement tiles are patterned after Native American kilim rugs. A custom dyed concrete vanity and sink and warm white oak complete the look.

Cloak rooms are a great opportunity to have fun and create a space that will make you and your guests smile. That’s exactly what we did in this w/c by opting for a fun, yet grown-up wallpaper. To compliment the wallpaper we selected wicker-shade wall lights from Porta Romana. The freestanding cylindrical basin from Lusso Stone is a welcome break from tradition and brings a contemporary feel to the room. Timber effect tiles have been used on the floor for practical reasons but adds a feeling of warmth to the space. We extended this room by taking surplus space from the adjacent room, allowing us to create a bank of built-in cabinets for coats and shoes as well as a washing machine and tumble dryer. Moving the laundry appliances to this room freed up much needed space in the kitchen. We needed ventilation for the washing machine and tumble dryer so we added louvred panels to the in-frame, shaker cabinet doors which adds detail and interest to this elevation.

Contemporary Cloakroom with Light Hardwood Flooring Ideas and Designs

The cloakroom is a room where us Brits love to go to town on the decor. A place to showcase the wilder side of your personality! As well as displaying all those certificates and awards, your downstairs toilet can offer your guests a glimpse into what makes you tick, so unleash your creative side and have fun when planning the design of cloakrooms. Whilst these small spaces are often retro-fitted underneath the stairs or bolted on an extension (having replaced the outdoors toilet of yesteryear), the convenience of having a cloakroom can’t be underestimated. And because they are so often tight on space, specially designed cloakroom suites that work in the limited space are advisable – compact cloakroom vanity units or small cloakroom basins, back-to-wall toilets and bathroom wall cabinets. Browse thousands of cloakroom ideas to get inspired, or read on to get more tips on how to decorate your cloakroom.

How to find the right ideas for a contemporary cloakroom?

How do you start planning your cloakroom when you’re starting from scratch? Serving a practical purpose first and foremost, the ideal downstairs toilet is fitted with a few basic items: the cloakroom suite (a toilet and a hand basin), a storage unit and a mirror. These four are essentials and should be small enough to avoid crowding the small space. Specially-designed short-projection units are made to maximise space. If space is really tight, storage ideas are important. Consider space-savers such as corner basins and wall-hung toilets.

How should cloakrooms be decorated?

As with all small spaces, light and bright is often best – avoid decorating your cloakroom with any dark colours, although a well-patterned wallpaper can actually serve to open up the space if chosen carefully. Keep the scheme of tiles, wallpaper and decoration relatively simple, and create space with a large mirror. Also feel free to let the cloakroom reflect your personal style, whether that is sleek and modern or kitschy and cheerful, and it has become a British tradition to add liberal personal touches such as certificates, photographs, artwork and books. However, as the cloakroom is often small and the toilet will take up most of the room, try to not go overboard with the decor. One pot plant will do, as will one large mirror. A stack of fluffy towels, a fragrant room diffuser and some nice handwash and maybe hand lotion next to your basin, will be all you need to make visitors feel pampered and welcome. Choosing a fancy wall colour is a great way to make your cloakroom exciting – soon you’ll be using your downstairs toilet more than your main bathroom. If you're still unsure about what kind of design you'd like for your cloakroom, take inspiration from the beautiful photos and save the best one to your ideabook. You can save cloakroom ideas to an ideabook so that you can put together your vision for your newly decorated downstairs toilet.
