Nine powder room design ideas to spark your imagination
A textural sensation
Designer Sarah Sherman Samuel has created a dreamy powder room for her clients, featured in the June issue of Archdigest; this bathroom has well and truly earned its place. The space combines modern textural elements with natural touches — with the marble vanity creating the perfect foundation for the rest of the room.
The bold veining of the marble gives the room an unexpected appearance, which, combined with the curved neutral stone sink and the brass tapware, gives the room a polished look. Finally, the neutral plastered walls provide a simple but cohesive backdrop to the more contemporary elements.

It’s all about pink!
Interior designer Carlene Duffy has put together the dreamiest blush pink powder room featured in Inside Out. For those looking for modern powder room ideas, this shot showcases the difference a splash of colour can make to any space.
The blush pink vertical panelled walls add a warm and serene backdrop to the room, while the floating vanity gives the room a modern and fresh feeling. The black tapware and lighting detail add a subtle contrast, ensuring the accents aren’t lost in the colour. Our favourite element? A little bit of TileCloud, of course. The fun lay design of our tiles brings a sense of movement and textural appeal to the space.

Kate Cooper Interiors has designed the perfect powder room for her clients. This powder room is the closest to the kitchen and living room, they knew from the beginning that it would be getting plenty of guest traffic, and it does not disappoint, surely leaving a lasting impression on all guests.
The focal point of this room is the pedestal basin sitting on top of the eye-catching stone bench. The warm tones throughout the space work together to create a refined look with a nod to old-world style. Finally, the textured tiles vertically stacked on the walls bring a rustic feel, acting as the perfect background for the more modern aspects of the space.

Playing with patterns
The team at Three Birds Renovations have put together a powder room that packs punch, personality and pattern. This bathroom design is the perfect example of making the most of a smaller space, with various elements coming together to create a playful and fun space.
The bold red lettering on the artwork works perfectly with the pink and orange encaustic patterned tiles. The natural, textural pendant lights and floor basket help to soften the space with laid-back vibes whilst the white basin sink and aged brass tapware help complete the space with a touch of character.
A moody bathroom moment
The Tecture Architecture & Interior Design team shows us that not every bathroom has to be light and airy. On the contrary, this space plays with bold, darker textures to create a dramatic yet refined finish.
The deep green walls act as the perfect eye-catching backdrop for the modern fixtures and unique marble vanity. The marble vanity takes centre stage with its organic veined design and structural shape. The brass tapware finish completes the look with a laidback look to balance the other more daring pieces.
