Projet Levallois

Mon Concept Habitation

L'objectif de la rénovation de ce duplex était de réaménager l'espace et de créer des menuiseries sur mesure pour le rendre plus fonctionnel. Le nouveau parquet massif en chêne naturel apporte de la chaleur dans les pièces de vie. La nouvelle cuisine, lumineuse, s'ouvre maintenant sur le séjour. Un îlot central dinatoire a été réalisé pour plus de convivialité. Dans la chambre parentale, nous avons conçu une tête de lit graphique en noyer qui donne du caractère à la pièce. Esthétique et pratique, le nouvel escalier en chêne intègre des rangements astucieux ! A l'étage, la pièce maitresse du salon d'été est son meuble TV sur mesure, tout en contraste avec ses façades noires et sa niche en bois. Le résultat : un duplex modernisé et fonctionnel !

Contemporary Powder Room Design Ideas with Cement Tiles

Think of your powder room as a small bathroom that’s always on display. Likely to be frequented by guests or used as a second bathroom by family members, it should always look its best. Consisting of little more than a vanity, toilet and sink, you could be mistaken that contemporary powder room designs are easy to execute, but the tight space can be tricky to get right. As you plan your bathroom renovation, consider the following.

How do I plan the layout of my powder room?

If you're building from scratch, an architect may be the best person to ask. There are three main objects to consider when planning the layout of your contemporary powder room: the door, toilet and sink. Pocket, sliding or folding doors will give you more options for toilet and sink placement, while wall-mounted toilets will help save you a few inches of floor space, and make the room feel more spacious. To ensure ease of use, make sure the toilet has at least 38 centimetres of unobstructed space on either side, and 61 centimetres at the front. Powder rooms are primarily a place to use the toilet and quickly wash your hands, so unless you have the square meterage, you don’t need a full-blown vanity. Look for compact options, like a pedestal or wall-mounted sink instead.

What materials should I use in my powder room?

There’s not much space to work with when designing a contemporary powder room, so keep your design fairly simple. Otherwise, too many different patterns and textures will quickly overwhelm the space. To avoid a disjointed design, opt for one statement piece or element, such as a fun splashback, benchtop or vanity, and choose subtle materials like stone, marble or granite for everything else. If you fear you haven’t created enough visual interest, fill the void with bathroom accessories such as hand towels and soap dispensers. High-quality bathroom fixtures – including everything from your toilet roll holder to faucet – with matching lines and style, will make a big difference in a such a small space, so if you have the budget, splurge a little!
