Tight spaces are often difficult to set up because...Make optimal use of available spacewithout having to forego comfort. However, some creative ideas can be easily implemented into small powder rooms and allow you to make bold decisions. In addition, with narrow proportions, it is important to balance style and function in order to find an optimal design for the guest toilet. The size not only makes it seem more comfortable, but can also inspire you to design other living spaces like this.
Plus, this room is most often used by guests, so it's a great opportunity to show off your fun and flamboyant side! After all, you have a captive audience, so why not let your personality shine through? Feel free to experiment before using the ideas for larger living areas. These small private cabins can now become a part of the daily living space as well as integral parts of one's home. Therefore, you can use bolder colors, textures and materials to connect such small spaces with the rest of the living area. Add stylish accessories and pay more attention to your powder room, as your friends and acquaintances will probably spend some time there.
Choose a modern wood look for the guest toilet
You have many options when it comes to designing a guest toilet. From simply using paint to tiling one or more walls, you can creatively transform the room visually. However, if space is limited, it is better to just put the back wall behind the toilet bowl in theDecorate the guest toiletor dress up. This gives the limited space the illusion of more space. Wood-look tiles are great for this purpose, are easy to clean and add a warmer feel to a powder room while still allowing for an easy-care surface.
Design a tiled guest toilet
Tiling a powder room is a practical solution, but not everyone can afford the cost of tiles and labor. It's a good idea to keep an eye out for special offers that are cheaper. Also, consider purchasing a few extra tiles in case you need to replace broken pieces. If you are planning a guest toilet in a tiled style, you should choose tiles that do not become outdated so quickly. Faux marble or granite tiles create an elegant look that is simultaneously luxurious and inviting without being outdated. Light shades are preferable for small rooms, as are large tiles. Both size and color open up the room and make it appear airier and brighter.
Choose the right accent color for the guest toilet
Unusual colors and painting techniques are an excellent choice for a guest bathroom or toilet. The room is small enough that color palettes combine well and create accents. The end result will be worth the effort. Keep dark colors for the back wall of the guest toilet and lighten the side walls. This brings depth to the room and gives it more impact.
Use bold and striking wallpaper and design a guest toilet
Unlike in the bathroom, with a separate toilet there is less risk of condensation from showers or bathtubs, which can affect the adhesive strength of wallpaper. Let your imagination run wild and use maximalist patterns or other ideas you've been afraid of. You may think that you should go for light walls in a small room.
However, patterned walls actually provide more depth and trick the eye into thinking the room extends beyond. Combining bold colors and patterns in a powder room is a great way to add visual appeal to a potentially boring room.
The reclaimed wood look may be less trendy, but interesting wallpaper still exists, and bringing such design into a powder room is a wonderful way to add warmth. So don't be afraid to use dark colors to create dynamism and let your guests have fun by adding whimsical wallpaper to the room.
Make the powder room look gallery-like with murals and art
To keep this room from feeling disconnected from the rest of your home, you can give it an artistic touch with pictures and other accessories or art pieces. This allows you to create a colorful guest toilet and express your personal taste. Once you figure out what gallery wall ideas you want to use, adding artwork and photos will make it brighter and more interesting. This can also be a way to reflect your personality. Combine various art pieces together, even if they have different styles and colors.
Heated towel rails as a design element for cold rooms
It is important to keep the toilet warm for your guests, especially in the winter months. Since it's often a compact space, a heated towel rail could be enough to warm the entire room. These are available in a range of shapes, styles and sizes to suit any design. However, underfloor heating is also a good option and prevents you from having to worry about where a radiator should be installed. This creates more space on the wall for storage. However, wall-mounted towel racks are ideal for powder rooms as they also free up floor space while providing valuable storage for dry towels. Alternatively, choosing a mirrored radiator will help reflect light around the room and create a feeling of extra spaciousness in even the smallest guest toilets.
Use a wall-hung toilet bowl
To maximize the floor space in the powder room as much as possible, you can opt for wall-hung units. Not only do these look modern and stylish, but they are often slim so they don't dominate the room. Hanging them on the wall also makes cleaning easier, and you can also place storage baskets underneath to hide unsightly clutter. So the trick with a smaller toilet is to maximize the visible area of the floor as this creates the impression of spaciousness. Wall-mounted toilet bowls or washbasins are therefore an ideal solution. Just because the room is small doesn't mean you can't make accents with it. Adding units like this adds structure and glamor to a small powder room.
Install a space-saving sliding door
Are you looking for space-saving designs to make smart use of limited space? The sliding doors are a clever option that is not only functional but also stylish. While in a small powder room it is advisable to choose an outward-opening door to make the room appear larger, this may prove difficult if the room in question is in a hallway under the stairs, for example. A door that opens outward could even prove dangerous to passing household members and guests. If space is really tight, try installing a sliding door instead. This means it literally takes up no space inside or outside.
Design a guest toilet under the pitched roof
Optimize the use of space in your home by installing a powder room in an otherwise inconvenient corner. A sloping ceiling is often a great place for an additional toilet, especially if it's next to a bedroom.
It's best to first check where your drain pipes run. If this is nearby, it should be possible to install a guest toilet there without too much effort. Here the hinges and door handle give a country look that goes well with the painted wooden rafters.
