Here are a few tips for designing a signature guest bathroom that’s sure to impress. Choose dramatic colors. A deep, rich red, chocolate brown, or electric blue might overwhelm a larger room–but in a small powder room, you can afford to take chances. Pick a theme. Are you going for a contemporary or antique look? Art Deco or rural charm? If you want to impress with your style, you need to choose a cohesive theme.
Go for high-impact design. Because your powder room isn’t as heavily used, you have a little more latitude to choose fixtures for dramatic impact rather than durability. Splurge a bit. Expensive granite countertops and hardwood floors become a little more affordable when it comes to the powder room.
Make the best use of small space. Let your heated towel rail double as a radiator, and build custom shelves to make creative use of storage space. Don’t worry about storage. Keep your necessary bath products and linens elsewhere, and store only enough for a few nights’ use in the powder room.
Add luxury. Heated towel rails, thick, fluffy towels, and scented candles all go a long way toward making your guests feel welcome. Your powder room can be a beautiful, decorative bathroom that shows off your tastes and makes your guests feel welcome. With the right design, your guests are sure to be impressed.
