When planning your powder room or guest bathroom, don’t forget to follow these tips to ensure comfort and personality in this space.
Just like the entrance hall and the living room, the powder room is a space in the house that should be designed to please and welcome visitors.
It should reflect the homeowner’s personality. But, at the same time, it should be comfortable and maintain its functional nature.
Because it is considered a common area, the powder room differs from the main bathroom, which is basically a private place that reveals details of the homeowner’s intimacy. The powder room is somewhat impersonal and focuses much more on the needs of visitors.
If you want to create a comfortable powder room to impress your guests, pay attention to these tips we’ve put together to make this space even more pleasant.
Consider the available space for the powder room.
Before thinking about the countertop or furniture for this space, which is usually small, consider the dimensions you will be working with.
It is essential to carefully measure the available space to choose the ideal countertop for your sink. The dimensions of the room will also directly influence the choice of furniture, the size of the mirror, and the lighting.
Keep in mind that this is a space for individual use, where we spend little time, but that doesn’t mean it should be cramped or uncomfortable.
Ideal Home
Define a decorating style.
The powder room is a space in your home that your guests will use, and where you can be bold with the decoration, using colors, shapes, and textures to make a positive impact on your visitors.
If you wish, you can also use plants and decorative objects that allude to details found in other spaces. An interesting tip is to define a recurring theme that appears in details throughout the house.
But don’t forget: if you’re working with a limited space, it’s best not to overdo it with the objects. The powder room is, above all, a functional space, and that functionality should be respected.
Mirrors help to increase the feeling of spaciousness, and are also essential for brushing your teeth, touching up makeup, and fixing your hair!

Colorful and daring details in the powder room.
White is the most common color in service bathrooms because, in addition to helping to open up the space and increase the feeling of spaciousness, it brings peace and comfort to the environment.
But if you want to avoid monochrome, the trick is to invest in using colors in the details. Play with color in tiles, fixtures, and metal accents. Tapestries and fabrics with striking colors help set the tone you want in the powder room. Small objects on the sink or discreet pictures are also good ideas.
Another way to bring personality to the powder room is by using mirrors, sinks, faucets, handles, and towel racks with interesting designs. You can be daring with materials and models to give a modern touch to the environment. All the details make a difference!

Choose your countertop wisely.
When choosing the ideal countertop for your bathroom sink, you can’t go wrong: marble and wood are the most common materials in this environment.
But first and foremost, you should consider two important aspects: the size of the countertop and its functionality.
It should be large enough to accommodate the sink, and still leave space for other essential items. However, it should not obstruct passage through the room.
A piece of furniture of sufficient height to allow for comfort when washing your hands or brushing your teeth is essential. Drawers and towel racks can help keep everything in its place.

Thinking about the lighting design is essential.
The lighting design should bring comfort and personality to the environment.
Opt for diffused direct light, which illuminates evenly without contrasts. Using a filter, usually made of acrylic or frosted glass, this type of light is quite versatile, and at the same time decorative and functional.

Keep some essential items always within easy reach.
It’s important to avoid cluttering the powder room to ensure a feeling of comfort. However, some essential items cannot be missing and should always be readily available for your guests.
If you want to keep other items, such as an extra bar of soap or toilet paper roll, within easy reach for your guests, drawers and organizers will do the trick.
