Гостевой санузел

Гостевой санузел - небольшой. но функциональный. Небольшая гравюра на стене, винтажное зеркало и бра помогают избежать "сантехнического" вида помещения. Вместо подставки под туалетные принадлежности использован пластиковый столик. За щитом располагается разводка водопровода и обогреватель на время отключения горячей воды.

Water Haven Powder Bath

Alair Homes Plano

Our clients had already remodeled their master bath into a luxurious master suite, so they wanted their powder bath to have the same updated look! We turned their once dark, traditional bathroom into a sleek bright transitional powder bath! We replaced the pedestal sink with a chrome Signature Hardware “Cierra” console vanity sink, which really gives this bathroom an updated yet classic look. The floor tile is a Carrara Thassos cube marble mosaic tile that creates a really cool effect on the floor. We added tile wainscotting on the walls, using a bright white ice beveled ceramic subway tile with Innovations “Chennai Grass” silver leaf wall covering above the tile. To top it all off, we installed a sleek Restoration Hardware Wilshire Triple sconce vanity wall light above the sink. Our clients are so pleased with their beautiful new powder bathroom!

Transitional Powder Room Design Ideas with Subway 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 transitional 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 transitional 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 transitional 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!
