There are some rooms at home that we design and decorate for our own enjoyment. We also have other rooms, which we make available to our guests. A typical example of this is the guest toilet. Depending on your size, this room could be quite small, but it can end up making the biggest impression! Yes, your guests can be deeply impressed by this room! Creating a remarkable, functional and trendy guest toilet design is much easier than you think, and the results and time investment are well worth it!
An intelligently designed powder room successfully combines form and functionality. Most of our tips today will focus primarily on the external aspect of designing a powder room, but you definitely can't forget functionality! You must always have enough toilet paper and a few bars of soap in stock so that there are no sudden and embarrassing surprises when the visitors have already arrived. Even try not to overlook the little things! You know, sometimes the details are the most important! Please, keep this thought in mind and read on to learn more about how you can create a dream toilet!
One thing we particularly like is that you can...Interior design in the guest toiletcan show your own style. Design this small room so that it stands out from the rest of the house. We would say this is even necessary! Transform the small toilet into a world of its own and let it serve as a small escape from modern everyday life. Choose exotic themes inspired by Victorian, Mediterranean, Hollywood Regency and Bohemian styles. Really add a personal touch to the powder room! Of course, you can go in a completely different direction, perhaps choosing industrial, rustic or farmhouse styles. This way you will create a completely different atmosphere in this room.
The washbasin in the guest toilet is often the only large piece of bathroom furniture that takes up a significant amount of space and stands out clearly. It is of course much better to have a vanity than just a simple sink, as this will add additional storage space and therefore bring more functionality. Pairing the sink with a vintage unit or outfitted with shiny Art Deco style pieces is currently the popular choice for powder room décor across the world.
There are countless occasions when we tell our readers not to overfill a small space with too much color, but instead stick to a neutral palette with no more than 2 or 3 colors. Well, when it comes to the powder room, you can forget about this rule altogether. Feel free to use bold, saturated colors in the powder room and make this small room a showstopper. Overloading it with shades like pink and purple will give the ambience a feminine look. Gold, black and silver are typically used to create a more neutral backdrop and bring a touch of sophistication to the room.
But when it comes to designing a gorgeous toilet, you basically need a lot more than just adding color to the ambience. Beautiful wallpapers will help you here! You'll rarely find a modern powder room that doesn't have wallpaper, at least some of it, and that's for good reason. Wall murals add pattern and sometimes even texture to the powder room and do so with ease and elegance. The design possibilities are endless when it comes to using wallpaper!
If the vanity is the symbol of the powder room and defines the space, then the mirror on the wall is like the icing on the cake! It goes without saying and we don't even need to mention it, but the mirror must complement the style of the vanity to emphasize the theme of the room. Starting with the mirror shape and moving up to the mirror frame, think about every little detail that can eventually change the appeal of the small powder room.
It is clear that no one expects a lavish palace when entering the guest toilet. It is also inappropriate to complain about lack of space in the guest toilet. Instead, use some simple tricks to make this room seem much larger than it really is. Lighting can play a significant role in this, visually making the room feel much airier than it really is. Pendant lights well combined with the mirror and vanity can transform the powder room into a dreamy place.
But be careful: do not confuse the right lighting with a “flood of light”! A powder room with a darker ambience can be made even more stunning by using dim lighting. We want to emphasize what we have already said before about the furnishings: good balance is actually the key!
To really make your toilet shine, you need to create an atmosphere where order reigns! This doesn't mean having a sterile space, devoid of color or creativity. You can still hang a wonderful picture on one of the walls or decorate the vanity with a vase full of fresh flowers. But avoid anything unnecessary and let the beautiful things in the guest toilet shine in their own glory!
