The McCollum Project

Catherine Rose Design & CO.

The clients of our McCollum Project approached the CRD&CO. team already under contract with a contemporary local builder. The parents of three had two requests: we don’t want builders grade materials and we don’t want a modern or contemporary home. Alison presented a vision that was immediately approved and the project took off. From tile and cabinet selections to accessories and decor, the CRD&CO. team created a transitional and current home with all the trendy touches! We can’t wait to reveal the second floor of this project!

White Subway Tile Shower with Bench in Waterville

A+ Home Improvements, LLC

Tile designs and styles vary greatly, but something about subway tile seems timeless. Our client's bathroom contained a large tub that was unused, so they desired to have a shower installed in its place. The question that arose was what to do with the large window above the old tub. We decided to incorporate the glass block window into the new design to save the natural light that it provided. The bathroom also contained a smaller shower that we converted into a linen closet to provide needed storage for the master bathroom. Along with these improvements, we also updated the double vanity and installed new vinyl plank flooring to pull the space together. Once we completed the material selection process, we prepared to deliver our clients ideal space.

Transitional Powder Room Design Ideas with Wood-look 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!
