The space is a harmonious blend of modern and whimsical elements, featuring a striking cloud-patterned wallpaper that instills a serene, dreamlike quality. A sleek, frameless glass shower enclosure adds a touch of contemporary elegance, allowing the beauty of the tiled walls to continue uninterrupted. The use of classic subway tiles in a crisp white finish provides a timeless backdrop, complementing the unique wallpaper. A bold, black herringbone floor anchors the room, creating a striking contrast with the lighter tones of the wall. The traditional white porcelain pedestal sink with vintage-inspired faucets nods to the home's historical roots while maintaining the clean lines of modern design. A chrome towel radiator adds a functional yet stylish touch, reflecting the bathroom's overall polished aesthetic. The strategically placed circular mirror and the sleek vertical lighting enhance the bathroom's chic and sophisticated atmosphere.

Home Coming - The Hall Powder Room

Red House Design Build

Wallpaper featuring a "tree of life". Inspired by the Palace of Fontainebleau outside Paris, this wallpaper shows a flock of exotic birds in vibrant colours. Shown here in fuchsia pink and emerald green. Often, a small powder room is found off the main foyer to a house. In this project, we collaborated with the homeowners to make a great statement about the owners themselves. Elegant lines and subdued colors in the foyer are contrast against this splash of color and bold paneling and bolection molding -- a bit of surprising personality is tucked away waiting to be discovered. - Justin Zeller owns a design-build remodeling firm, Red House Custom Building, serving RI and MA.

Installing under counter sinks into a quartz bench top is easy to clean. Constructing a nib wall behind the vanity provides a break-in the otherwise flat wall. Dimensional layering provides added interest to the vanity area.

Bathroom Remodel St. Francis Wood by Kimball Starr Interior Design

Kimball Starr Interior Design

Bathroom remodel was a complete redesign to bring the original 90-year old San Francisco bathroom into modern day. Reimagining the space involved knocking down walls and employing artisans for handmade shower tiles and locally custom-made cabinetry to perfectly fit tight spaces. Creamy tones, Mahogany wood, and ceramic crackle and subway tiles strike a balance between traditional and contemporary. The end result is a bathroom design that's a breath of fresh air and modern sophistication - See more at: http://kimballstarr.com/projects/bathroom-remodel-st-francis-wood

Traditional Powder Room Design Ideas with Ceramic Tile

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 traditional 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 traditional 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 traditional 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!
