As a full-time real estate broker, I've seen many bathrooms, including forgotten powder rooms. These little jewels of space are a great way to experiment with your wildest decorating dreams. Guests enjoy a playful theme, and costs can be contained when your doing a small space. Have fun and if you tire of a look, it's not that difficult to reinvent your powder room.
-Find a unique console table, chest of drawers, or small writing desk and make it your vanity. Install a cool counter surface and under-mount sink.
-Find a funky chandelier or ceiling fixture, oversized is okay.
-Install that wallpaper that was always a bit on the wild side. You can even hang shirred fabrics.
-Paint can be bold dark colors, play around with the new pint-size paint samples.
-Mirrored walls and marble floors say luxury.
-Collect a variety of clear glass vases and group together. Fill with petite blossoms of the same color.
-Splurge on window treatments, towels, and other finishing textiles.
-Buy that over-the-top piece of artwork you've had your eye on.
-Don't forget candles. I always light scented votive's as a night-light in the guest bathroom when entertaining.
-Go to your local frame shop and look for frames that strike your fancy, have fitted with mirror for over the vanity.
-If space allows, slip in a bench or cozy chair.
