6 Must Haves for a Plush Powder Bath

Curating a plush powder bath in your home has many benefits! It helps keep your primary bath private, it helps make your guests feel at home, and it can serve as a place to showcase your personality. Because of its smaller footprint, your plush powder bath only needs a few discreet touches to help make it a memorable experience for your guests. We’ve gathered some of our favorite powder baths and must-have finishes and accessories to help inspire some ideas of your own.

1. Beautiful Mirrors
Make your powder room an exciting place for visitors to wash their hands. You can create a focal point above your vanity by bringing in a decadent style mirror that plays with the wallpaper or tile providing the backdrop of this pampering space. Frame your mirror with some mood lighting, and you’ve got yourself a lavish lavatory fit for royalty.

2. Wallpaper or Tile
Depending on your style, you may opt for wallpaper or tile for your powder bath. Wallpaper is trending right now, but that doesn’t mean that tile couldn’t pull off a well-polished look as well. Both applications are easy ways to add color and texture to your powder room. Moisture-resistant wallpaper and large format tiles for the walls and the floors can help extend the presence of this smaller space to help it feel like a spacious and posh washroom.

3. Fresh Florals
Bring the beauty of the outdoors inside by incorporating a vase of fresh botanicals into your powder room. These beauties not only showcase a pop of color, but they also help freshen the air and offer a whimsical take on your not-so-everyday powder bath. A natural element in your powder bath design can bring the overall aesthetic full circle by incorporating traditional bathroom materials with nontraditional yet memorable components.

4. Lighting
Lighting can help exude the mood of your powder bath. For this funky fresh take on a powder room, we reinforced the energy of the wallpaper with the overall lighting. The starburst effect ties the entire space together and helps enhance the ambiance of this private party. If you’re going for something with a more refined edge, you can help create mood lighting with shade sconces to soften and wrap the lighting in all the right places.

5. Unique Vanities
Don’t forget your vanity where the actual handwashing will take place. There are a few points to note when deciding on a vanity, like the style for example. Do you prefer a pedestal, free-standing, or floating vanity? You’ll also need to take note of the size, the faucet style, if the sink and top come with the vanity, and whether or not you want a small backsplash. These are all details a professional can help you narrow down on your search and pick the best style and design for your space.

6. Fixating Fixtures
Details that will tie everything together are your fixture selections. This includes everything from the faucet to the toilet paper holder. You can mix and match metals for an eclectic look or match your pieces for a more modern and polished finish. Don’t forget your powder bath can be as bold or as refined as you’d like, so you can feel free to play with details like this to make them your own.
