Powder rooms are usually pretty small and drab. Our favorite thing about them though, is that their size makes them so easy to experiment with your creativity and explore a design aesthetic that you normally wouldn’t!
So, here’s a roundup of 6 powder room design ideas are here to give you some major inspo to kick off your next project that will add some character, maximize your storage space, and make the room feel bigger.
1.) Tall Vertical Wall Paneling
Why you’ll love this idea:
Vertical lines are proven to create an optical illusion that something is taller or more spacious. If you want to make your powder room feel a little bit larger than it really is, tall wall paneling or wainscoting does the trick!

2.) Built-in Hidden Storage
Why you’ll love this idea:
When you have a small bathroom area, every little bit of storage helps. In this project, we stole a little nook for a built-in hidden cabinet on the shiplap wall. Additionally, medicine cabinets are a great option, especially with the modern options available nowadays.

3.) Counter-to-ceiling backsplash Tile
Why you’ll love this idea:
Tiling to the ceiling has the same effect as the tall vertical paneling. This not only creates the optical illusion of a large room, it’s also very practical where your entire sink wall will be waterproof and easy to clean. We chose this timeless gray chevron tile to pair with a statement mirror that adds a lot of character to the space without becoming overwhelming.

4.) Patterned Floor Tile
Why you’ll love this idea:
A small bathroom floor is the perfect place to go for that fun, bold, unique, or interesting tile that you’ve been staring at. It’ll never be too overwhelming, and it’s significantly cheaper to change than it would be in your kitchen if you end up hating it down the line!

5.) Unique Statement Mirror
Why you’ll love this idea:
Having a statement bathroom vanity mirror adds flair and it’s also a great conversation piece. We chose this fun geometric mirror for this bathroom because the angles match the floor tile that are slightly visible in this photo.

7.) A pocket Door
Why you’ll love this idea:
Pocket doors are our absolute favorite design feature to incorporate into a powder room. They’re sleek, save an incredible amount of space, and creates a sleek and modern look.
