There are a million different how-to tutorials, YouTube videos and guides for designing the “perfect bathroom.” But how many guides have you seen for designing the perfect powder room? Zero come to mind.

While designing a powder room may seem like it’s the same as redoing your bathroom, there are a distinct set of differences between the two, and being able to master these subtle nuances is the key to cultivating a beautiful home and inspiring all who set foot in it. Lets go through some simple home improvement steps that make a big difference and help you curate the perfect vanity.

Work Your Way Up

Hardwood floors are more popular than ever, as are fine materials such as granite and marble, which offer an upscale look. While raw materials may be more expensive, they are the best way to achieve a truly luxurious feel. And if it’s simply not in your price range, then consider faux alternatives or secondhand options like recycled materials and reclaimed tiling.

Do some research and choose a material that fits your budget, then pick a color that accents your room and the final paint color. Layout the new flooring in a way that creates a natural, organic flow. Unifying your floors is a great way to achieve symmetry throughout the different levels of your home.

Start from the bottom and work your way up. Once you’re satisfied and totally in love with your new floor, then it’s time to move on to the really fun stuff.

Room to Breathe

Maximize your floor space by using a pedestal or sink. For even more added space and storage, consider a welcome bathroom shower door with unobstructed views. Using these techniques in a smaller bathroom can create a streamlined modern look with serious minimalist vibes. Just because a room is small, doesn’t mean that it has to feel small. Turn any forgettable space into an unforgettable experience with a bit of breathing room.

Adding space to your design is the best way to get some peace of mind. Give yourself and your loved ones more room to move and more room to live with a minimal approach to your renovation.

Small changes. Big Finish.

Fancy finishes are still a great way to add a little luxury to your life. Changing your faucets can add a welcome, refreshed feeling in the bathroom. Anything from a traditional-style tap to something more streamlined and modern can make a world of difference.

Choosing a style of tap that appropriately fills the space is crucial, but deciding on a finish is arguably just as important. Everyone loves a gold sheen but sometimes it’s better to go with something matte or more of a brushed metallic finish. Whatever you decide, the choice is yours: Make it bold and make it your own.

INTEGRATED LIGHTING

Don’t be afraid to make a statement with your new beauty room. Every room is an opportunity to show off your architectural prowess, and the powder room is no exception. Choosing the lighting is one of the most important steps of them all when you’re constructing the perfect powder room. The right lighting can completely transform the way the room feels.

Integrated lighting and creative luminary solutions have always been available but any option is now a possibility with the capabilities of modern technology. Track lighting, ceiling lighting, LED strip lighting… the options are endless. So, if you’ve got any bright ideas, now is the time to think big and plan out the ultimate lighting layout for your Powder Room.

FRAMED MIRRORS

The final touch and maybe one of the most important features of a perfect vanity or beauty room is the mirror. A great mirror is a reflection of the room it inhabits. Your dream powder room is nearly complete, so be sure to adorn your final masterpiece with a mirror that’s befitting of all your hard work. Choosing the shape of the mirror is often the most important part of the process but placement can also be a factor. Consider how you’ll be using the space before you make any final decisions. And if a traditional layout isn’t working, then consider doing something asymmetric and awe-inspiring.

Some of the most interesting designs that we see are ones that take chances and subvert expectations with atypical solutions to classic compositional conundrums. Doing something as simple as placing a mirror in an off-center position can be enough to completely transform the flow of a room. Don’t be afraid to be bold and take chances. And be unapologetic — after all, this is your home and this is your vision. Own it.

When it comes down to it, the possibilities are truly endless. You can make your Powder Room into anything that you imagine — so, what are you waiting for? Check out some of these inspiring ideas from VIGO and start designing the perfect Powder Room today!
