4 Tips for a Fabulous Powder Room

People often want to have a powder room in their home and they think that it’s going to be really difficult to find the space, when in fact, you really only need a relatively small footprint to be able to successfully put a powder room in. When you find really small fixtures and really small plumbing fixtures, you’re able to take a very small amount of space, squeeze a little powder room perhaps just under the stairs and it adds great value to your home.

1. Look for smaller versions of necessary fixtures. A half-size vanity and sink with a single hole faucet like this one from Aqua Bath gives you all the functionality you need in a sink with a bit of added storage, but in a much smaller space.

2. There are actually a number of options for toilets in a small bathroom space. For example, a toilet that can be installed with the tank actually inside the wall behind the toilet lets you make use of the space in the wall and uses less space in the bathroom itself.

3. As a rule, the more floor space I can see, the more space I believe I have in the room. Choosing fixtures that don’t use floor space, like a wall-hung vanity for example, will make a small space feel larger.

4. One of the neat things about doing a little powder room is you can do something that’s a little bit more crazy. You could do a great wallpaper and wallpaper everything. What you end up with is a quiet little oasis. The thing is, with a powder room you’re only going to be in there on your own. So you can create your own private little sanctuary however you wish!
