The Powder Room


Called all kinds of things – Hall Bathroom, Powder Room, Guest Bath, Half Bath, Little’s Girl’s or Boy’s Room, it’s probably the smallest room, and all too often the most blandly decorated room, in our home.  Worse still, it’s probably the room most often frequented by your guests!

So, why not let your imagination and creativity flow.  Make a bold statement in the room!  Work on creating a focal point.  It’s not uncommon for these small room 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 want  to incorporate, when considering giving this room a complete makeover!

1.  Start with the vanity.  Replacing a plain laminate top with a beautiful granite surface might be just ticket!  Perhaps one of the handsome furniture pieces that you see everywhere, that are not only graciously designed but fully functional as well, would give a small powder room a fabulous focal point.



2.  Dramatic wallpaper or paint technique could certainly reduce the boxy feeling these small rooms are typically known for.  Think about selecting something exciting and spectacular!!  Today’s faux finish wall coverings come complete with embedded jewels and crystals!  Just think of the drama you can create.



3.  Your flooring!  Consider  replacing that vinyl with a new laminate or tile floor. A multi-patterned area rug can add just the right touch to this often used space.



So how about it!  Get up right now and take an objective look at 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 won’t stop raving about!
