In this guest cloakroom, luxury and bold design choices speak volumes. The walls are clad in an opulent wallpaper adorned with golden palm motifs set against a deep, matte black background, creating a rich and exotic tapestry. The sleek lines of a contemporary basin cabinet in a contrasting charcoal hue anchor the space, boasting clean, modern functionality. Above, a copper-toned round mirror reflects the intricate details and adds a touch of warmth, complementing the coolness of the dark tones. The herringbone-patterned flooring in dark slate provides a grounding element, its texture and color harmonizing with the room's overall decadence. A built-in bench with a plush cushion offers a practical seating solution, its fabric echoing the room's geometric and sophisticated style. This cloakroom is a statement in confident interior styling, transforming a utilitarian space into a conversation piece.

Victorian Powder Room Design Ideas with Dark Hardwood Floors

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 Victorian 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 Victorian 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 Victorian 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!
