Bold Powder Room Design

I love dramatic, bold, powder rooms. They are the one room in a house can that be fun, surprising, and exciting. Wallpapers, decorative vessel sinks, unique light fixtures and color can all go into one small space in the powder room. A few examples that I love below...

Sinking Feeling

Vessel sinks seem to be a trend that people really love. They can high maintenance but the look is unbeatable. I have used them in powder rooms and master bathrooms but only if cleaning isn't an issue. I used a petrified wood sink in my client's vacation home in Aspen. It was perfect! All sinks except the Rosewood are available through Lenova.

Thoughts on Wallpaper

Installing wallpaper can add so much to a room. I love using it in powder rooms, bedrooms, even dining rooms. Its great to use when you don't have a lot of artwork because the wallpaper becomes the art. Even if a you don't like a lot of pattern there are plenty of wallpapers that just add texture.

This wallpaper has little beads on the flowers and stems

This would be amazing in a powder room

Fleur de lis pattern with an antique mirror background

Vertical Stripes

Soft Floral

These are a few examples available through the trade.

Transitional House in CdM

I came across this listing for a new custom home in Corona del Mar. This was built by Spinnaker Development and is for sale for $4,149,000.00. I think they did a great job with the materials and the furniture. I love when a house's exterior matches the interior! The dining room and living room look so elegant but without feeling formal.

The epitome of transitional design.
