Remodeling your powder room makes sense for most homes. Remodeling can have a big results, because the tiny footprint means you won’t have to spend a fortune. Think about it, your powder room may be the only bathroom guests ever see in your home, so why not create a special space that leaves a lasting impression of your style and hospitality.
Here are a few powder room remodeling ideas that can turn an ordinary little space into a jem.
Powder Room Remodeling
Except on rare occasions, no one will brush their teeth or use hair spray in a powder room. It’s a convenience bathroom, not an high-traffic one, so you can get away with over-the-top fixtures and elements that you’d not consider using in a primary bath or children’s bath.
When routine deep cleaning isn’t an issue, you’re free to think with a more artistic mind, as opposed to a practical one. A mosaic sink and interesting decorative elements won’t become grubby by week’s end, so go ahead and add whatever you love but would never dream of having in a family bath. The KBIS show had many interesting new products this year, see some of the best of show.
Add An Interesting Door
A door is a door is a door, except when it isn’t. Any home can have a paneled powder room door or even a hollow-core model. But new materials for doors are getting a lot of design attention, with good reason.
A door that blends with the wall makes the powder room look seamless when it’s closed. This is a great idea when the door adds yet another element to an already busy wall space. Barn doors are brilliant in nearly any interior application, especially a powder room. They slide along a track instead of swinging out. This gives you more design freedom for the space, and it also gives you a door that’s a conversation piece. Pocket doors are also common in powder rooms because they slide into the wall instead of opening into the room.
Think Color and Texture
Maybe you love vivid, citrus orange, but you’d never use it on a living room wall. Or maybe hot pink, lime green, or even mirrored mosaic tiles catch your eye every time you’re at a home improvement center. The great thing about a powder room is that you can really flex your design chops, but without affecting the remainder of the house. It’s a small room where the door is always closed – so it doesn’t have to match the other decor in your home. See more ideas for your remodeling on our Pinterest board.
Try out anything that strikes your fancy, even if it’s expensive. Because a powder room is small, those high-end tiles you’ve had your eye on won’t set you back a lot. And if you’ve dreamed of a special paint treatment, this small space is the perfect area to give it a shot.
Add a Powder Room
Some homes don’t have a powder room, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have one. And RealEstate.com says this is a project that adds real value to your home. There are lots of little nooks and spaces that you can transform into a useful, beautiful water closet. Under the stairs is a logical spot, since it’s often unused or underused space.
Another idea is to frame up a powder room on its own. Clever design makes a powder room stand proud along a wall, without the need to claim the whole wall end-to-end. This makes the room itself, and everything in it, a brand-new feature. See some examples of bold-statement powder rooms on Realtor.com.
Powder rooms might very well be the final frontier of creative home design, at least for the moment. U.S. News says that your remodel dollars can yield a 62 percent return on investment, so it makes good money sense too.
