Powder room décor is arguably one of the most exciting types of décor to experiment with because it inhabits a compact space. The smaller the area is, the easier it is to execute your vision. These small rooms are bursting with potential, so read on to discover how to make the most of your design journey.
Because the floor space is limited, you must use the walls to display the most decorative elements. This means that satisfying paint colors or even ultra-decorative wallpaper are necessary. If you need a little extra zest, find it within the accessories. Vanity mirrors and lighting are vital in these rooms. In full-sized bathrooms, pedestal sinks are less common, but they make spectacular additions to powder rooms because they are compact and attractive.
