Is your powder room in need of a pick me up? Although it may be one of the smallest rooms in the house, it can sometimes seem difficult to decorate.

A few small changes are all you need to reap amazing results and to recharge the room’s design.

Make an Accent Wall


Beautiful glass tiles instantly draw in the eye, creating a killer accent wall. Go for a solid color or mix-and-match your favorite shades for a mosaic effect.

The two main places to consider for an accent wall, are behind the vanity so that the tiles create a backdrop for the mirror and lighting fixture, or behind the bath.

Choose the best of these two features to play up with the tiles. Reflective glass is the best option if you want to give the bathroom a more spacious feel.

Powder rooms may be notoriously small, but they’re the perfect place to make your design fantasies a reality. Check out these tips! Click To Tweet

Be Unique

An outdated or builder’s grade vanity and sink combination can drag down the entire powder room.

Go quaint or ornate by repurposing an old dresser into a new vanity. You can cut a hole in the top to insert a sink basin or use a countertop sink bowl on top of the dresser.

Replace the drawers with false fronts on hinges so you have plenty of room for storage and the plumbing.

For a small powder room, use a pretty side table with drawers, instead. You can always set it on a pedestal to bring it up to the correct height.

Paint It

Whether you’re on a budget or just want a quick change, there is nothing better than paint.

Most powder rooms are small, so choose a light color to give a feeling of spaciousness. You can add height to the room by painting the ceiling a shade lighter than the walls.

Don’t limit the paint to just the walls, though. A fresh coat on the vanity or built-in shelves will make them look like new again.

Add A Sliding Barn Door

Adding a sliding barn door is an easy way to add style and elegance to your powder room.

Sliding barn doors are the perfect solution for rooms without space for a traditional door, and more affordable than installing a hidden pocket door.

For a classic bathroom style, pick one with a frosted glass panel, which creates a lighter feeling but provides plenty of privacy.

Sliding barn doors are easily customizable and available in dozens of colors and styles to fit your color palette and interior decor.

Change Fixtures

Outdated fixtures can really drag down your design – especially old single-bulb fixtures that offer poor lighting at best.

Switch it up by replacing the old over-sink lights to a multi-bulb style in a timeless oiled bronze or brushed nickel.

Don’t limit yourself to just the lighting fixtures. Upgrade the faucets to something a bit more classy than the old chrome-plated faucet and knobs.

Use Accessories

Accessories are the simplest way to pick up the look of your powder room with almost no effort.

Switch out the linens for matching fresh towels.

Add a vintage touch with hand-painted signs or art made from reclaimed barn wood.

A few floating shelves featuring tastefully filled apothecary jars also provides a simple but charming touch. Happy decorating!

    Although beautiful features can perk up a powder room, some of them need to be functional. You offer a few great options here! Thanks for sharing!
