Entry Closet turned Powder Bath! Awkward corner Decorating ideas?

last year

We are almost done with turning our TINY entry closet into a powder bath. I’m still picking wallpaper, so ignore that in the photos. The corner to the right of the toilet is weird because the wall that connects to the door is curved. I wanted to put some kind of shelving there for height and to display things, but not sure it will work. Ideas?

Also - to save space we went with a wall mounted toilet. I am realizing once I put up the wallpaper (leaning towards moody/dark background similar to the one in the photo but not sold on florals) - that the flushing panel will stick out like a sore thumb! Are there mounts I can cover it with? Paint it?

Thanks for any ideas!

    Looks like a good place for a free-standing toilet paper holder.

    Since you’re using wallpaper can you cover the panel with the paper as is done will outlet plates? The buttons would remain uncovered of course. Because the space is so small I wouldn’t put anything on the floor. Hang art over the toilet. Where will the TP holder be located? What about the spare roll?

    Is it high enough up that you could mount a shallow little white shelf immediately under it (or maybe just above it)? In other words, make it a feature--not a bug. I would choose a wallpaper that combines color with white in the pattern. That should help blend it all together.


    A shelf 3-4 inches deep would give people a place to put down their phone and could hold a small vase with a flower.

    I think the tiny shelf above could work I do not think wallpapering it will be agood idea but I also do not think much display is needed or even should be added to this very tiny space . I agree a freestanding toilet paper holder in thta odd corner by the toilet would be perfec t on e thhat holds an extra roll . I use disposible towels in PRs since it grosses me out to use a towel used by others .So ihave holder in lucite above my toilet so that could go on the little shelf .I might be tempted to do awallpaper with really huge flowers . Like this with white in it

    No shelf in a place this small unless it is over the toilet and has a little ledge to keep cell phone from falling into toilet. Display nothing but some art on the wall - no knick knacks or dust able.

    Our Powder also had an irregular shape. We cut a niche into the wall.

    Thanks for all the responses!

    Misty, good call, thanks. Nancy, I think the shelf idea could work. I need a place for the disposable towels because I agree with Patricia! I always put a tray out in our primary when people were visiting.

    What about a small shelf under the mirror instead? Don’t want it to look cheesy, but something minimal… maybe floating lucite?? Not sure how that is done. I think about people dripping water when they turn from the sink to grab the towels if they are above the toilet. Maybe not a big deal.

    And Patricia - LOVE this bold paper idea but husband has ruled out anything floral, ha.

    I really like the niche idea, had thought about doing that on the wall to the R of the sink. Not sure we have enough clearance for the depth I would need for a tray holding hand towels.

    So really just need a place for: hand towels and a scent diffuser (vs a candle which might be a liability in such a small space!)

    It is a big deal to reach with dripping hands from sink to toilet to grab a towel to dry hands. The towels need to be next to the sink.

    @Jenna &Kevin - Here’s another niche.. This one has a bottom shelf which projects proud of the wall - certainly one could be customized to hold hand towels.
