Never underestimate the power of a powder room. Whether you go subtle or over the top, the small size of a powder room gives you the ability to really make a statement. Here are a few simple ideas to help you decide what yours wants to say.
1. Industrial chic. Treat yourself, the environment and your powder room with some easy-to-get reclaimed wood. Place it either horizontally or vertically to create a natural look.

6. Add a high backsplash. Add an out-of-the-box touch with an extra-high backsplash. The height not only protects your delicate walls, but will be noticed as something new and different.
