Will you be replacing the flooring? What style/colors are in the areas outside of the powder room?

I love wall paper in a small powder room. I would stick with geometric designs. And see if you can incorporate a small crystal chandelier, that's the best way to bring in some glam. Obviously darker colors are going to make it more dramatic.

can you replace the floor? that way you could do some marble, dark walls, a paper or a wainscot. examples

Wallpaper! And go bold!

Depending on your budget, I would suggest a floating sink and cabinet with a drawer that fits around the pipe for storage. A tall framed mirror in a matching metal that you choose for your sink fixtures, gold is very elegant. Large floor tile and wallpaper on the walls.

Consider a wallpaper for the walls.

I also vote for wallpaper it is an easy and not to expensive way to add a lot of drama to a small room. However, it looks like you have texture on your walls this will need to be addressed as part of the wall paper instillation.

I love the idea of wallpaper and you could really glam it up with a beautiful paper, but it looks like you have an orange peel texture on your walls, so I don’t think you can use just any old paper. You would have to choose something appropriate that would work with the textured walls.

ccn9213. are you still there? Will you be replacing floors and what do surrounding areas look like (style/colors)?

i dont think bathrooms should have wallpaper. absolutely not.
moisture and germs being thrown around the air and whatnot. and paper that cant be bleached?

save the wallpaper for a more formal space

and its kind of tacky IMHO. considering a bathroom is where you do your business, i just dont see why people think a nice coat of paint wont do so much of a difference

I believe it is a powder room. No bath/shower to add moisture.

After seeing all these great ideas, I want a glam powder room too!

Just be aware that if "the sink has to go," then you're looking at a new cabinet, as vessel sinks use a lower style of vanity and counter. I think this bath is a kind of glam -- might just go for more dramatic paint color, fancier light, and get some art on that right wall...

The powder room is the perfect space to add a bold touch to your home. Wallpaper if in your budget and use your favorite color that you have been afraid to use before. Have fun with it.

These are all fabulous ideas and I appreciate every one of you.

I am torn between wallpaper and just painting over with an amazing color. The textured wallpapers are nice and I wouldn't have to really get orange peel off of wall. Prefer to keep existing floor for now (light gray tiles). Also, new granite would be nice along with sink-but would a "normal" rectangular sink not work in the existing cabinetry? Thinking of quartz or a black color with even gold specks. Would like suggestions.

Also, concerning lighting, 2 lights to side of mirror or one hanging above in center?

The majority of the home is neutral, with the dining just around the bend that is currently in process of becoming glam as well (used hot pink for back of china cabinet with purple Versace china) and neutral leopard rug. I really can go any direction.

BTW - I removed a green onyx vessel sink. It makes a great outdoor planter.

Okay sounds fun,and I actually was thinking pink or purple if you were open.... which sounds like you are. Love your mirror using the gold touch of glam and the shape. The top right wallpaper could go on ceiling or find something you love to bring your touch and design to the space. The other wallpapers are just inspirations and ideas for color and texture. How tall are your ceilings?

Suzyq53.....great idea on the reuse of vessel sink as planter! I am removing a copper vessel sink and now I know how to repurpose!

If you have textured walls and you want to use wallpaper just use a wallpaper liner. I used it when I wallpapered over paneling. You would never know the paneling was underneath.

In answer to your question “can’t we just put different sink on current vanity?” Answer is maybe. When vessel sinks are used, they usually require shorter height vanities so you can easily use sink. Most countertops in powder rooms are around 30-33” High. How tall from the floor to top of granite is your vanity? If it is 30-33” High now, if you select a sink carefully, it might work with your existing cabinet. But you will incur costs for modifying the top of current cabinet to accommodate the sink you want. So, how high is the vanity?

Go to the wallpaper shop and spend some time looking through the books. I could see this powder room as a surprise behind the closed door (and a closed toilet), the surprise being one or more walls of beautiful, colorful wallpaper. Look at Houzz for photos of "wallpapered powder rooms" to give you some ideas.

One more thing, a powder room should have an exhaust fan to allow guests a pleasant experience...you know what I mean.

Google some 3d wall panels. you won't have to worry about wall paper and the texture of your walls. super modern drama.

yes theres no shower, but there is a toilet and a sink. even dirtier than a tub. im just saying, if an accident happens, id want to bleach the ground, baseboard etc, and be able to clean the wallpaper with sanitizing materials

im even more surprised pros advocating wallpaper moreso than paint just because its popular or whatever

its just more sanitary to leave powder rooms, bathrooms etc with no wallpaper....or atleast ONLY on the top half

at the very least stencil if you want "bold" designs but i dont really care what you or anyone does with their house or what pros think...just stating things to keep in mind

We have some great powder room ideas for you from our designs. Maybe one of them will inspire you?

Flo, the floor to top of granite is right at 35 1/4". What are my options now? Seems high...

The 3D wall panels are something I never thought of as well at the wallpaper liner. Concerned that the glue that is required for hanging panels will cause more of a mess in the long run when it's time to reno again, as opposed to removing wallpaper? Have you had experience with these?

Thank you all for your time. I will take a trip to a wallpapering company/ paint store and sort through things. I'm really loving the extra large prints and bold colors.

The wallpaper liner I used is sort of like felt and removes more easily than the wallpaper itself.

Your vanity seems fairly high. Must be hard to use that vessel sink. You can use the vanity but probably need some advice on whether you can get someone to cut existing granite to accommodate your new sink. That is where I would start. It might be cheaper to get new vanity with pre-cut sink hole and undermount sink. What style sink are you considering?

Auburn, yes, I will look into this for sure! Thank you.

Flo, yes, it's interesting to use and I'm above avg at 5'7"! Since I don't really love the cabinets anyway, may look into new base with cut out. Not sure of sink options but a pretty standard one (shallow, rectangular), unless there's something out there that's inspiring. Could possibly do a wall mounted sink, or I think they're called integrated sinks?

There are loads of options for sinks, faucets and vanities. I would make all selections first because they do have to coordinate well for plumbing, space considerations and function as well as style.
