9. Smart Style
Personality and practicality go hand in hand in this Chicago powder room by M House Development. Striking floral wallpaper on only the side walls allows sturdier backsplash tile to handle any errant water. The vanity feels like high-end furniture with its single center foot and rattan cane-style door and drawer fronts, but those fronts cleverly allow for airflow inside. And the flooring recalls a tray serving up select delights — long-lasting ones, thanks to the durable tile. An arched mirror adds another artful note.

8. Tranquillity on Tap
A boutique hotel in Bali? Nope, a powder room in a Northern California home. ODS Architecture’s serene design uses minimalist color and material palettes to maximal effect. A black wall swath recalling carved stones flows into a subtly white-veined black countertop, which has an integrated sink for the cleanest of lines. An open wood shelf and wood flooring add warmer earthy notes, while a gleaming sconce with a sensuously snaking piece elevates the look to pure poetry.

7. Bright Idea
This Dallas powder room by Blackline Renovations is deliciously sweet and as festive as a birthday party, thanks to colorful patterned wallpaper, a charmingly decorated bright pink vanity with a shell-pink scalloped vessel sink, and a blue glass mirror frame. (And aren’t the candle and towel in matching pink the perfect additions?) Green mosaic tile flooring creates a pretty and smart base, and a short backsplash helps protect the wallpaper.

6. Subtle Winks
For this Washington, D.C., powder room, Storie Collective used a whimsically shaped mirror to great effect. Wallpaper gives the feel of youthful zigzags but is actually patterned in garlands with a grown-up feel. The sink cuts a dignified figure in veined white marble, yet the scallops keep stuffiness at bay. And check out how the sink and the sconces seem to be engaged in an eloquent conversation.

5. Beaming Balance
This Seattle powder room by Space Lab Design Services is a three-part master class in balance. First, stone via the wall, sink, countertop and vase grounds the look in nature, but contemporary globe lights and Shaker-style vanity cabinet fronts keep things light. Second, the arrangement gives a feeling of symmetry without any exact matches — note how the plant and lighting match the mirror in visual weight. And third, the solidity of the vanity cabinets below is counterbalanced by an airier look above. The neutral palette helps keep everything humming along in perfect harmony too.

4. Spot-On Sensational
Roth Design set leopards on the loose in this Charlotte, North Carolina, powder room — even on the ceiling! — but the result is as refined as it is wild. A traditional white pedestal sink, toilet tank and window frame keep the plethora of animal print surfaces tasteful and offer places where the eye can rest. Gleaming gold tones throughout elevate the look. And the framed tree scene acts as a window to both set the scene and prevent a too-enclosed feel.

3. Lake Culture
A chunky stone wall unequivocally declares the rustic theme of this lakeside Virginia powder room by c|s Design Studio. But a smooth contemporary vanity, a graceful pedestal sink and genteel glass sconce shades gently request the recognition that this is refined rustic. A porthole window helps convey the waterside locale without saying a word.

2. Secret Savings
This design is so striking that you might not notice the literal and visual space savers at first. Sure, a small wall-hung sink is a no-brainer in a petite powder room. But Kith and Kin Interior Design of Portland, Oregon, chose one with a tall back and integrated hardware to avoid a visually distinct backsplash — and in the same color as the wall paneling, so it recedes. A towel holder hung on the basin frees up space on the wall, and a wall-hung soap dispenser allows for no countertop. Notice also how the mirror reflection takes us further into the wallpaper’s garden, creating a feeling of depth. OK, now you can marvel at that intriguing wallpaper, attention-getting mirror and unusual bluish-greenish-grayish wall and sink color.

1. Fantastic Blend
This Boston design by KitchenVisions, the most-saved new powder room so far in 2025, is perfectly proper with its tasteful dark blue-green wainscoting, vintage-style sink with brass-tone legs, and sconces that would feel right at home in a library. But imagination is alive and well here, with the wallpaper and mirror frame picking up where a childhood storybook might have left off. It’s a wonderful reminder that being a grown-up doesn’t have to mean leaving flights of fancy behind.

Rustic yet not rough-hewn, this Minneapolis powder room reflects its lakeside location without leaving civilization behind. Mårka Architecture used colors and materials pulled from nature in a most sophisticated way, putting the focus on the overall effect rather than showy pieces. Three elements do merit special attention, however: a long, white sink that feels like a palate cleanser among thoughtful courses of texture, a mirror unexpectedly yet perfectly divided between wall and window, and a wall clad in pebbles that look pulled from the lakeshore and arranged by an artisan’s hand.
