When decorating a small space, you will likely face challenges you don’t have to deal with when working in larger spaces. With limited space, it’s essential to ensure that every inch of the setting is working to tell a complete story in a way that doesn’t overwhelm the eye or crowd the room. This is especially true for powder rooms and bathrooms, as these tend to be some of the smallest and most trafficked places inside any home.

Here at Speas Interior Design, our interior designers can help you learn how to make the most of these small spaces. Below are a few ideas that you can keep in mind as you look ahead.

Powder Rooms

Before we get into how to decorate a powder room, let’s first define it. A powder room differs from a bathroom in that it does not contain the traditional fixtures in those spaces, such as bathtubs. Typically, these spaces feature vanities and toilets, so they essentially serve as a half bath. However, in some cases, the room may only have a sink and no toilet. As for where they got their name, the term dates back to wealthy estates in the 1700s and served as a place for guests to put powder on their wig or nose.

There are many different things you may want to consider as you think about potential ideas for your powder room décor. Of course, moisture is likely not a top concern in these rooms due to the shower-less nature of these spaces, which frees you up to think about decorative items that you would have a harder time placing in your bathroom.

So, how can you maximize the sense of space inside these tiny settings? For starters, consider graphic wallpaper. High-Impact prints can make smaller rooms feel more expansive, so adding exciting patterns to your walls can go a long way. And, regarding cost, the tiny nature of most powder rooms means that you won’t have to spend a lot on the wallpaper itself. Speaking of tricking the eye, adding mirrors is another tactic to move the eye around the space and gently allow light to bounce off the reflective surfaces.

 

Bathrooms

As previously mentioned, bathrooms have to handle heightened heat, moisture, humidity, and sometimes light levels. Taking these factors into account when considering the windows inside your bathroom, we recommend the Hunter Douglas  Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters. These durable pieces were specifically designed for these hot and humid spaces, so you can always count on high performance, guaranteed. In fact, each of these window fashions comes with our Palm Beach Promise™, which indicates that you will never have to worry about warping, cracking, chipping, or fading.
