How to have a Powder Room that will impress.

The powder room is the one room in your home that most of your guests will see, why not make it a pretty powder room?  Nature will call at some point and your guests will ask where the powder room is located.  Do you dread that inevitable question or proudly point them in the right direction?  Do they return looking horrified or impressed?

Even if you have a small space to work with, it’s important to have small scale fixtures, to create the impression that the space is roomier.

Make sure your powder room has ambiance via it’s decor.  After all, your guests will be in there for several minutes, they will look around, trust me!  Give them something to admire.

Some necessities to include in your powder room are sufficient lighting and a appropriately hung mirror, hand towels and of course a decorative element such as tile, wallpaper, painted or faux finished walls, etc.  I love Erin Gate’s lighting choice in her powder room.
