When designing a powder room, every millimetre matters. However, nowadays we are lucky enough to have a few different options to help us deal with compact bathrooms and other tiny spaces. For example, you may use cavity sliding doors instead of hinged ones, being able to have a wide doorway to access the room.

Regarding sanitaryware, toilets with in-wall flush systems are great space-savers, for example, as the cistern is concealed inside the wall frame. You may use the standard flush buttons or ones with touchless technology, as you may see here.

Besides compact toilets, there are many models of slim wall-hung vanities in the market, providing clever storage solutions. In saying that, while some may prefer a standard mirror, others may opt for a shaving mirror cabinet. Some shaving cabinets can be semi-recessed in the wall, providing extra storage space.

Aiming to bring some coziness, we suggest using light tones of grey and accents in timber. In this mood board, we have a mirror with a frame in light oak, the same colour chosen for the towel hook and the pendant light. For the tapware, brushed nickel with a contemporary design and straight lines, matching the wallpaper and the floor tiles.

Are you struggling with a small powder room? We are glad to help you optimise your space!

Aiming for a contemporary farmhouse look for your bathroom? Choose gloss white subway wall tiles and tapware in brushed gunmetal. If you combine them with cement-look like tiles on the floor, you can’t go wrong. Cement-look tiles, by the way, go well with many other different styles, as you may see in one of our other mood boards here.

For the vanity, we suggest cabinetry in warm timber tones, which may also be present on the floor of the adjacent rooms. For the countertop, Cloudburst Concrete from Caesarstone to match the floor. Regarding sanitaryware, prefer appliances with fewer details, such as the Kado Lux freestanding bath with an oval shape or a rectangular basin with soft corners.

Aiming to boost the vintage look? Mix and match objects in black or antique silver, such as wall lights, robe hooks, and mirrors. Bric-a-brac markets and op-shops are great places to find antique objects full of character and charm. Finally, don’t forget to add plant pots, bringing nature to inside your bathroom!
