Jewel Box Powder Room

Powder rooms are one of my favorite rooms to design. The small space provides a perfect opportunity to create something very special. When a room only needs a small amount of paint, wallpaper, tile, or accessories, you can go for the bold colors and patterns.

This client's powder room was originally designed 15 years ago. (Before pictures below) Although done well, the navy and pastel floral wallpaper was quite dated. The bathroom's fixtures- pedestal sink with crystal knob faucet and toilet- were still in excellent condition so we felt there was no need to update those. This makeover was just about updating the look. In the end, we stripped the old paper, installed dramatic new paper that features a traditional gold design in keeping with the rest of the home, and hand painted the ceiling in metallic gold. The transformation is amazing and the homeowner is very happy with their new "jewel box" of a powder room - a real show stopper!
