Help with powder room

last year
last modified: last year

trying to add some pizzazz to my new powder room. Had to choose hardware, etc that you see per townhouse builder but would love to swap sconce and mirror maybe to jazz it up. Also, want wallpaper thinking a dark croc or laquer or maybe even a vibrant peacock print. Floor is greyish blue and white marble herringbone and vanity is cyberspace grey. the wallpaper you see in background were some of the options i was looking at as well

    Here are wallpapers you can try out on your walls on the Decorator's Best website.

    Bold wallpaper would do the trick. After that, you don't need anything more.

    I’m with Beverly - fun wallpaper will transform your bathroom. Since you have half a wall of shiplap, you can splurge on something extraordinary.

    I think a powder room is a place where you can do some fun things, let it shine as its own room.

    I do like the idea of wallpaper, but I'm not seeing how the black framed mirror and horizontal paneling work with the gold/brass sconces and fittings. One is kind of glam and the other more casual/farmhousey. I say pick one style and be consistent with it.

    I agree a powder can be fun.....

    What exactly are you going for?

    "You want to swap mirror and sconce to jazz it up"

    To what?

    What does the rest of your town house feel like and while it is true a powder room can diverge a bit? I prefer a bit of continuity in overall flavor.

    Shiplap.....gold tone faucet.hardware/black frame ordinary mirror. Jazz to w.h.a.t?

    Where do lacquer and peacock elements enter the picture?

    This you ??: )

    I have never understod croc wallpaper . I do think wallpaper ina PR can be pretty out there for sure and IMO does not need to "gowith" the rest of the house in decor. I cant beklieve they still put those tolets in new builds and for sure no reason for gold hardware but now it is there I would look for a wallpaper with some gold in it. I would look for one with gray, silver and gold in it and then paint the ship lap the background color of the wall paper to hopefully remove some farmhouse form the space This is just a way to add the gold and maybe use one color from it for the shiplap


  • last year

    Ok. so the mirror is gold as well. there is no black presently. I had only a few options for light and hardware so i went with these BUT that is why i am saying I can swap them out.

  • last year

    I like the light/airy botanical look, doesn't seem too glitzy or dramatic for the shiplap. I'd be tempted to go with the peacock paper and paint the ship lap a pale blue or green from the paper

    To be honest I don’t love either of the wallpapers you have Lea int up. They just seem a bit drab and like they won’t add anything. Im a bit of an outlier but I like it simple and would add coloured hand towels.

    Wow, the mirror frame looks black on my monitor! Crazy!

    I happen to like the Peacock wallpaper.

    I like the peacock paper style wise and it will also work well with the flooring and vanity.

    definitely think i would paint the shiplap but i am not getting rid of it. just priced out the peacocks wowowowo!!! $$$$ . may only need a tiny bit...

  • last year

    @JAN MOYER do you know what wallpaper the last one is that you posted> . the navy trees? love.

    So let's narrow the criteria to get you to a realistic look:

    1. Shiplap is staying, so you need to get real about an eclectic look - shiplap, marble herringbone, and wallpaper, perhaps something elegant or a mural.

    2. What is your budget for this entire project - lighting, mirrors, wallpaper?

    The papers you posted are quite expensive.

    3. Provide measurements for ceiling height and wall space you need to cover. I'd love the pros on here to tell you realistically how many rolls you will need. Instead of trying to skimp on expensive paper, figure a price per roll that fits your budget.

    I LOVE the Phillip Jefferies dots.

    Yikes, the Peacock Garden is a hand-painted grasscloth. No wonder it's so expensive! I wouldn't put it in a powder room, it's a work of art. I'd get the 2 panels and have them framed and hang them in my living or dining room.

    i need 5 double or 10 single rolls for the powder room. I can paint the shiplap and i am open to a sconce and mirror; budget is open as i don't need to do it all immediately.

    The peacock look alike that Diana provided comes in other colors as well, if you hadn’t noticed. If you like the pattern and have decided to paint the shiplap, deciding on the overall effect you want will help narrow down (any paper you are considering). They can provide samples fyi.





    Also take into consideration the repeat pattern when caculating. On their site:

    I’m not sure why you want a different mirror and light. They are very transition and can work with any paper.


    Budget - you need to be able to purchase the correct amount of wallpaper rolls at the same time. Are you really as cool with $285/per roll as with $120/per roll, as with $80/per roll?

    Murals are not priced in "rolls:......... panel widths and number determine price.

    All wallpapers ( murals aside ) are priced in single roll, and PACKAGED in double roll.

    Grass cloth is priced by yard...with a minimum yardage.,most often....as in eight yard bolts.

    My standard response to questions about powder rooms is GO WILD! If there is any room in a home where you can do that is the powder room.

    What about color drenching the same color of the vanity?
