We lent a friendly reminder, in our last post, that the holidays are in fact just around the corner.  Getting ready for house guests and open houses means it is time to update and even renovate that much overlooked powder room.

The powder room is a space that everyone will likely see whether they are a guest for the weekend or a few hours during a cocktail party.  So this room should actually be one of the most chic rooms in the home.  After all, you do have a captive audience in there.

Since the powder room is typically a small space, it usually won’t break the bank to give it a refresher.  This is a space that you can be bold with a trend because frankly, you can change it rather easily and quickly if you tire of it.  Small rooms can still be big on style, so we’ve created a top 6 list of for a fitting update.

#1 Exotic or Moroccan Accents-If you have an eclectic or bohemian vibe in your home then Moroccan fretwork wood paneling from floor to ceiling in your tiny space can be a true piece of art.

#2 Black-don’t be afraid of the dark- If you’ve followed our blog for long you know how much we love using black here at Jigsaw Design Group. Glossy black, matte black, black paint, black tile, you see where we are going here, black is always in style and adds a touch of glam to any space.  Black can make it dressy, deco or even masculine so this haute hue is at the top of our update list.

#3 Wallpaper-Wallpaper is often the perfect answer for the powder room.  It is color, texture and artwork all wrapped into one foundational characteristic of the space.  Add a few accessories and an orchid and you’re done.  Minimal work with ample wow factor.

 

#5 Gold Faucets-Yep, that’s right, gold faucets, sinks, door pulls, towel rack…yellow gold, rose gold, it’s not the brass of the 80’s, this is stylish and hot and we can’t get enough of it.  Gold hardware in the small space feel rich, luxurious and on trend.

#6 Only for you showoffs-The hands free faucet- Kohler does this very well, with the in home hands free faucet, Tripoint Touchless.  This faucet is not only convenient, but also saves water with low-flow aerators.  Your guests will gush over your tech and environmental savviness.
