Powder room: every millimetre matters

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.

Squares and circles, or a combination of both

This week’s mood board is all about squares and circles, or a combination of both. Aiming for a sleek design, we suggest basins, toilets, and baths in a squarish shape with soft round corners. For the tapware, wall mixers with square cover plates matching the showerhead from Grohe. While you may go with other colours, such as black or brushed nickel, we suggest chrome, which is timeless and elegant.

For the floor, terrazzo tiles with different shades of grey. Even though some people consider terrazzo tiles outdated, we definitely love them! Have a look here for another mood board where we suggested this material. Cabinetry may be either in white or light grey, in gloss or matt finish. Completing the look, 100×100 gloss white tiles on the wall and a mirror with a geometric shape and black metal frame.
