Accent-uate the Positive
If you want to make a big impact in a small powder room, then focus on an accent wall. In this case, the back wall has been covered in shiplap to add texture and dimension to a small powder room. A fun black-and-white floral tile brings some personality to an otherwise neutral space.
Mould It to Your Liking
If you're short on cash but not creativity, consider this affordable way to transform a small bath. With just a few strips of moulding and some finishing nails, there are endless ways to create visual interest without using costly tile. In this small bath, moulding was added on the bottom half of the walls. A deep navy vanity with brass accents adds color and warmth.
Shelve This
Rather than constructing expensive built-ins to store towels and toiletries, consider open shelving. It allows you to store everyday essentials on a budget. We used white shelves with black baskets to complement the gray and white powder room.
Next, silver and white floral wallpaper with gray glass subway tile stacked in a block pattern bring this bathroom to life.
Take the Subway
Tiling an entire powder room can add up but not if you’re using traditional white subway tile. It’s a timeless and classic look for pennies a piece. Save even more by only tiling half or 3/4 of the way up the wall. For those wanting a more modern aesthetic, consider using a darker grout, which will make the white subway pop.
Floor Them
Encaustic cement tile has been trending for awhile now, but it can be costly and requires sealing. There are now ceramic and porcelain versions of this tile that's an affordable and attractive solution for a half or master bathroom. The green-patterned porcelain tile with sage green walls are a bright and fresh look for this half bathroom.
Things Are Looking Up
If you want to make a statement in a room, consider the ceiling. Paint it a bright color, wallpaper it, add ceiling tile or shiplap. In this case, we took a small guest bathroom with a sloped ceiling and added shiplap with a rustic beam above the shower. Then we kept things light and bright with white walls and a taupe vanity and mirror. Black matte shower trim and bath accessories bring modernity to the space.
