A powder room is often called a half-bath because it only has a sink and a toilet, which are two out of the four amenities of a full bathroom, making its typically smaller floor area a design challenge. In today’s post, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Greater Rockwall takes a look at some design dos and don’ts that will help you create the ideal powder room.
Do’s for Powder Room Design
Do carefully plan how you will use every inch in your powder room by utilizing corners and walls for compact fixtures like a corner sink or a wall-mounted toilet. In addition to freeing up precious floor area, it also helps create a sleek and modern look.
The right combination of lighting fixtures can be used to make your powder room look more spacious, so do make sure that you plan your lighting carefully. Install large windows or a skylight if it’s an option. Complement either one with recessed lighting, wall sconces and other types of lighting that do not take up much space.
Lastly, do make it a point to add your personal touch to your powder room. Wallpaper, one or two art pieces or even a carefully curated color palette can help bring out your personality and make your powder room design your own.
Don’ts for Powder Room Design
Powder rooms are still bathrooms, after all, so don’t overlook storage solutions. Custom hideaway drawers and cabinets, wall-mounted folding tables, built-in shelving — they all can help keep your powder room organized and clutter-free.
Sometimes a powder room may not be situated on an outer wall, which means you might not have the option for a window or even a skylight. This means heat and moisture can easily build up in it, so make sure that ventilation isn’t forgotten. An exhaust fan will help prevent mold and mildew growth, as well as reduce odors within.
Some people eschew accessibility features because they don’t need it now, but consider how its future benefits. You’ll probably decide to stay in the same house in your later years, in which case you’ll want to have features like non-slip flooring and grab bars in your bathrooms. The same features can also raise your home’s value, which is worth considering should you decide to sell your home.
