I am ok with calling it a powder room - indicates it is near the entry to the home, has a toilet and sink and is ok for guests to use - master bedroom is much more problematic
A powder room , to me , is a toilet room that is used for guest and is decorated to a high standard . Otherwise, it is just a toilet room . I have one of each plus separate bathrooms .
I love the green colour on the walls of no.2... would love to know the paint colour please?
