5 Dramatic Powder Room Wall Treatments and Why You Should Have One

July 22, 2024

You might wonder why I always go bold in such a small space, but trust me, these small spaces offer a unique opportunity to showcase bold design choices that might feel overwhelming in larger areas. Powder rooms are so small you can make a powerful statement about your personality. Show your guests who you are and how you want your guests to feel in your house. Powder Rooms are very contained environments where you get to go crazy! So choose something flamboyant, ridiculous, and fun… showcase a piece of art, whether it's provocative, political, or revealing a secret about your personality that is too much for a main room… this is your chance to show your crazy! By carefully selecting wall treatments that reflect your style and complement the room's elements, you can transform your powder room into an epic display of creativity and elegance. Let's explore some of the projects in which I used this strategy.

California Farm House: In the California Farm House project, we opted for a wallpaper with a gold botanical pattern, adding biomorphic opulence. The deep tones contrast beautifully with the sleek black vanity and marble countertop. Brass fixtures and drawer handles tie into the gold accents, synthesizing the look. This bold choice transforms the powder room into a captivating space, embodying modern farmhouse charm.

Lincoln Park Wonderland: We chose a stunning, art deco-inspired wallpaper for the powder room in the Lincoln Park Wonderland project. The geometric pattern in shades of blue and gold adds intense dynamism to the space. This bold design creates an eye-catching backdrop, working with the brass fixtures and slightly deco mirror frame.

Tribune Tower Elegance: In the Tribune Tower Elegance project, we transformed the powder room with a wild, feather-inspired wallpaper that adds vibrant energy and artistic flair. The intricate pattern features a mesmerizing blend of colors and textures, creating a dynamic visual effect. The result is a one-of-a-kind space that leaves a lasting impression on anyone who enters.

Vibrant Ravinia Residence: In the Vibrant Ravinia Residence project, we transformed the powder room with textured wallpaper in deep blue and gold tones. The gold fixtures and the marble countertop complete the room's elegance and modernity.

Intellectuals' Bachelor Pad: In the Intellectuals' Bachelor Pad project, we chose copper-toned textured tile reminiscent of brick, creating an industrial vintage feel. The metallic sheen of the tiles adds rugged sophistication. This combines a minimalist white sink and a rustic wooden vanity, seamlessly blending modern and vintage elements. The geometric patterned floor tiles add an intriguing visual interest, while the artwork injects personality and charm into the space. This combination of textures and styles results in a bold, masculine powder room that perfectly suits this bachelor pad's intellectual and artistic ambiance.

Don't shy away from going bold next time you consider a powder room makeover. Embrace the drama, and let your walls tell a story that leaves a lasting impression on everyone who steps inside.
