Thank you!! I appreciate your insight!

Wallpaper? Or just paint? Was going for something unique in here but feeling it’s too small

Small bathrooms are a great place to do something kind of outrageous that you wouldn't do elsewhere in you home. There is nothing wrong with going dramatic, I just was not in love with the choices you were putting together. What have you already purchased?

I think your arabesque wall could work if you had an exact paint color match for the rest of the room and then had a contrasting sink. But, I think it will be hard to pull that off and do it well.

I don't think an accent wall always works in small space. Small spaces look best when you can completely drench the room in one color, or wallpaper the same print everywhere, or tile the entire room.

If you fell in love with a wallpaper, then you could pull colors from it for your vanity.

Here are some dramatic small bathrooms - mostly green. While the aesthetics are not mine, I think they all work for various reasons.

A little chat GPT and I’ve got this. I seriously like the horizontal smaller tile better than the arabesque and I also like the cream arabesque better than the green now???

Progress!

I don't see any sense in the cream tile as it just looks the same as a painted wall. Why not paint the wall instead?

The middle picture the greens are off and the shape of the tile is not enhancing the sink and vice versa.

I like the top pic the best because the tile and vanity are more sympathetic in color and their lines. The size and shape of the tile makes a lot of sense in the space. It looks kind of underwhelming to me though with white walls.

"Was going for something unique in here but feeling it’s too small."

The reason that you are able to do something unique/bold/dramatic in a powder room is because it's small.

As usual, Kendrah is right -

"Small bathrooms are a great place to do something kind of outrageous that you wouldn't do elsewhere in you home. There is nothing wrong with going dramatic . . . '

Look at the photos that Kendrah posted + the ones I've added below -and compare the way the room "feels" to the chat GP ones that you posted. While the bathroom would look fine - it wouldn't be dramatic or something memorable like the photos we've added.

If you wanted to use Evergreen Fog on the walls, then a wood vanity would be better than having the vanity be painted Evergreen Fog also:

This next photo shows how nice a tinted lime wash paint in a dramatic/moody color would look on all the walls. The ceiling is white - but I think it would look better if it was painted the same as the walls.

The next photo is a color drenched powder room - with a vanity that is also the same color as the walls/ceiling/trim. The vanity just "disappears" in the space:

Here is a color drenched powder room (except for the white ceiling again) - if the vanity was the same color as the walls, it wouldn't look as nice.

I am getting ready to renovate my powder room. I am having a floating stone vanity fabricated (similar to the first photo - but no fluted detail along the front). Once I select the slab that will be used to fabricate the vanity, I will then decided on the walls. I assume that the slab will be something with dramatic veining + a light background - so, I will color drench the rest of the room with a darker color that works with the slab. I like how the tinted lime wash looks in the fourth photo - but I will have to wait to decide about the walls until the slab selection is finalized.

I guess it just depends if you want to make it something memorable - or just something that looks nice. There's nothing wrong with making it look nice - dramatic/bold isn't for everyone. However, I have a feeling that you would like to do something unique in your powder room. "Unique" doesn't have to be a bold wallpaper on all four walls - it could be doing a complete color drench of the room + some pretty accessories.

My recently redone powder room is ridiculously small - 9’ x 3’ wide with 10’ ceilings. I agree with Kendrah and Dani - keep it fun but stick to a couple of elements that blend well.
My powder room is near the entry area, great room and visible from the dining space, so it needed to blend with the colors I used. If your powder room is more isolated, you can wallpaper the entire room in anything you like. A friend with an old, old house squeezed in a small one outside the main area and used fantastic purple wallpaper- including the ceiling. I did that with mine as well.
Tiles are rarely used since the amount of water splashing is limited.
