Powder room design issues

8 years ago

last modified: 8 years ago

I am remolding my powder room in main living area. Room is 8 ft L x 4 ft w. My inspiration is the picture with white shelves and black background. I plan on having white walls with molding on bottom half. Purchased a white vanity (pictured below) and plan on getting nickel finish accessories. Having wood look porcelain floor tile in cherry ( reason for ,have cherry wood floor in rest of house.) Replacing toilet too. My dilemma is not sure of paint color I want to put on top half of walls. Thinking neutrals, not sure what would look best greys or beige, also will be putting new molding around window in white. Not sure about window treatment yet (help with this too) . Please help with suggestions/advice... much appreciated . My taste in decor is traditional/farmhouse /beach and some transitional. other photos are bathroom now, just took off wallpaper on bottom half of wall today. Contractor coming next week to start demo.

Thanks,

Donna

Don't put wood look tile next to real wood. Repeat the hardwood, or select a different tile. A powder room doesn't get very wet.............it's not a bathroom. Baseboard heater does not lend itself well to wainscoting, unless well designed with a cover, custom or otherwise and a "visual disappearance" Or, keep it simple and paint. or paper the room.

Not every home is suited to beach or farm decor : ) The main floor guest bath should reflect the style of the rest of your home.i

What colors do you have in the areas near the powder room?

Thank you for your advise. I agree, but My husband does not want hardwood in the bathroom, We have septic and on occ. toilet overflows. I love the hardwood look. Thought about regular tile, haven't seen anything that strikes me , except for the white tile with black diamonds. But not sure about it. I have been dragging this project, because just not sure what to do

The white tile with black diamonds sounds fantastic for a powder room.

Address septic tank, It should NOT be causing toilet overflow. Frame a sign, no sanitary items please.. Use the correct tp.....get it fixed. No matter the floor.No faux wood next to the real thing. Nope...............don't do it,

Try a charcoal mosaic hex.......lighter gray gout. Anything is better than faux wood.i

^Yes, repairs before decor. As Jan points out address the septic issue first.

Thank you all, we have had the septic checked many times. Happens like 1-2 x a year, I'll look into the other tile, still need to think about paint. Was afraid the tile with the black diamond would be too much
