The Powder Room Renovations

Providing the flexibility for you and your guests to have quick visits, powder rooms may be small in size, but their first impressions last a lifetime.

Although this space may sound irrelevant due to the traditional origin of its name, a powder room primarily consists of a toilet and basin, and as such, plays an important role when it comes to the practicality of everyday living and hosting.

While you may already have your eye on a particular powder room design for your renovation, it’s first important to know exactly how much space you have to play with, before finalising your design.

So, to assist you in creating the perfect powder room for your lifestyle, we’ll take you through the six key elements:

+ colour

+ sink and vanity

+ toilet

+ lighting

+ mirror

+ décor

+ colour

Think white or neutral colour palettes mixed with a feature wallpaper or tile, coloured tapware and textured materials, such as stone and timber.

+ sink and vanity

A minimalistic wall hung sink and vanity are the perfect pair for powder rooms. If space is tight, then select a wall hung sink in a streamlined design and consider incorporating a niche alongside it.

+ toilet

Maintaining a minimalist approach, both behind-the-wall and rimless toilet designs are ideal for powder rooms.

+ lighting

While natural light provides an uplifting sense of space, a feature light complemented with low lighting oozes traditional luxury.

So, when it comes to selecting the lighting for your powder room, continue to be led by the feeling you want to create within the space.

+ decor

Complete your powder room with the invaluable impact of a personal touch, through the addition of simple yet stylish décor items such as a candle, plant, soft textured handtowels and jewellery dishes.
