I am always surprized when I tour houses with boring Powder Rooms. It is the one room that, even if you are selling, does not have to be neutral. (My motto: "A powder room is not going to make or break the sale of a house".)
It is the one room you can take a risk. Go for it! Glam it up! Show some personality!

Interesting mirrors are not expensive. A small chandelier adds drama. Bold wallpaper makes a splash in a small powder room. I use large, colorful art in power rooms when I stage.
Here's an all white power room. Exactly as I found it when I toured the house.
The only color was a box of Kleenex.
For only a very few dollars, a few accesories can be purchased that will help amp up a small space.
I added a colorful print (Tuesday Morning) above the towel bar. The green and orange the powels (Target) pick up the colors in canvas and add a little pizzaz to this ho-hum powder room. Citrus colors are always a hit in the summer. This is literally a 2 minute fix.
Don't be drab in your powder room. Be fab! Have a little fun in this small space.

I agree! I think the powder room should be a pleasant surprise...something fun! I really like how you used a few colorful accessories to really brighten up the room. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharla. Readers please check out Sharla's redo of her powder room. The transformation is amazing! Click The House at Bluebird Lane above.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea that the powder room won't make or break the sale of a house! I haven't thought of it that way before ...
ReplyDeleteThat's just how I look at it, Traci. I'm sure they don't teach my powder room philosophy in 'stager school'.
