Ways to Make Over a Powder Room
Although it’s one of the smallest rooms in the house, the powder room nevertheless can have some big impact—after all, it’s a space that many of your guests could see, so you want to present your best foot forward. If you’ve looked at your powder room and found it lacking but don’t have the budget to do a full-on renovation, never fear! With a few small changes, you can give that space a quick “facelift.” At Altra Home Décor serving the greater Phoenix area, we’re happy to help with a few suggestions. Read on to learn how you can improve the look of your powder room with minimal effort.
Flooring or Backsplash
Just by updating the flooring or sink backsplash, you can take the space from drab to fab. A lot of factors can influence overall price for this endeavor, but if you find budget-friendly tiles, it could be fairly affordable to create an eye-catching result. If you plan to put your place on the market, remember that using a classic neutral color will appeal to the greatest number of potential buyers.
Paint the Walls
A fairly quick DIY project, painting the walls can help you transform this small space. With just a little paint, time, and elbow grease, you can bypass the contractor and create a new aesthetic. Neutral colors like beige or gray will result in a clean look, while light blue or green will a calming atmosphere. And keep in mind that you can paint more than just the walls—consider adding a coat to the ceiling or the cabinets: color drenching can remove visual breaks, making the small space feel more cohesive.
Replace the Mirror
This is a fairly minor cosmetic change, but it’s also pretty easy, and, with the right mirror, you can elevate the space or even make it seem larger. Choose an oversized mirror with LED backlighting to give your powder room a luxurious glow. And if the space needs storage, go with a mirror that has built-in shelves.
The Right Window Treatment
If your powder room happens to have a window, you’ll want to be sure that it’s correctly treated. You have a lot of great options to match your new look and to get great light and privacy control, and here are a few we frequently recommend:
- A café curtain can be the perfect finishing touch to an elegant bathroom.
- Vignette® Modern Roman Shades by Hunter Douglas provide a timeless, classic look.
- Hunter Douglas EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds are easy to operate, and they clean up with a quick dusting. Plus, these blinds hold up very well to moisture and humidity.
