Powder Rooms That Pack A Punch

Layla Sawyer -

We love a good interior stalk, from magazines to online blogs to Instagram inspiration; discovering fresh new design ideas and upcoming trends from all around the world has never been easier. (We were definitely born in the right generation). 

Despite their small size, powder rooms offer a unique opportunity to show your personal style and create a lasting impression on your guests. From bold wallpapers and eye-catching tiles to beautiful finishes and clever storage solutions, the possibilities for designing a powder room are endless.

So, if you are in the process of building a new home, renovating your existing space, or working on a side-project investment property and are looking for powder room ideas, welcome. 

Whether you prefer a modern and minimalist aesthetic or a more eclectic and daring design, we have something for everyone. Put the kettle on, sit back, and enjoy our collection of unique powder room design ideas.

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.

The power of curves

Tecture Architecture & Interior Design studios bring us the ultimate unique powder room inspiration. This Malmoral mid century home plays with neutral shades in a variety of textures, creating a cohesive and flowing space. 

The curved wall is an eye-catching and unexpected feature that adds an organic element to the space. For those seeking small powder room ideas, this space demonstrates how even a smaller space can be given a sense of height and depth when texture is invited in. The space is completed with a white pedestal sink and classic brass fixtures to give it a modern feel.

A modern take on old-world sophistication 

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.

A streamlined, serene space

Katie + Tristen Soineva from Smub Studio are here to provide us with the ultimate small powder room ideas. This space reminds us that sometimes an understated, clutter-free space can be the main statement.  

Every little detail has been carefully put together, from the clean lines of the cabinetry and mirror, to the soft muted tiling, the neutral shades paired with the brown tone timber, creates a calming, uncomplicated space. The white concrete pedestal sink is the star of the show, catching the eye immediately and adding a forward-thinking element to an otherwise minimalist space.

The ultimate in organic modern design

Places studios have outdone themselves with this jaw-dropping powder room. This playful space combines various eclectic elements that all work together to create this unique design full of character.. 

On the back wall, two different tile styles come together to create a warm, textural statement backdrop for the rest of the space.  The dreamy sculptural sink takes inspiration from a shell shape, giving the space a unique centre point, perfectly complemented by the organic, asymmetrical mirror. Finally, the brass tapware and fixtures add consistency and compliment the other warm elements in the space.

A natural stone powder room

Kerrie-ann Jones shows us the power of natural stone with this stunning travertine onyx stone bathroom. Minimalists rejoice — this space keeps things simple while still undoubtedly packing a punch. The warm, neutral tones create a really relaxed, clean atmosphere, setting the foundation for the space. 

The organic stone vanity gives an earthy feeling to the bathroom design, with its layered appearance. Combined with the simple brass features to bring in a modern, streamlined look. The organic shaped brass frame mirror completes the space, with a minimalist touch that helps create more openness in a small 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.
