Even the smallest room in your home deserves updating every now and then. Our team of interior designers have simple tips to follow to make your powder room look and feel larger instantly. Color is your best friend, and using it to your advantage will have a big impact on even a small space. The powder room is likely the smallest space in your home, besides a closet or storage space. The difference is guests and family members actively use this space. Ideally, enjoying the ambiance of a powder room sets the tone for the remainder of your home. This is a perfect opportunity to take a chance with design. We suggest a bold and daring shade such as deep blue or purple. We say, take a leap of faith with a color palette and you won’t regret it. There are many ways to tone down a rich bold shade with the right accessories.

Forget old and tired sand, beige and off-white for color and opt for something a little more drastic. Bold hues like navy, chocolate brown, rich maroon and even black works wonderfully. The reason these darker hues work is because small spaces offer something larger spaces do not, which is creative freedom. Too much of a bold color can be overwhelming and often makes a space feel smaller. As any interior designer would say, the key to a perfect space is lighting. Add the right fixtures and the entire space will change instantly.

Ideally, you want to add visual interest in a small way to the powder room. Replacing the bathroom countertop in a unique material such as refinished concrete or imported granite with accent flecks to compliment a color palette changes a space for the better. Tile backsplash as an art related project rather than a functional addition can be very successful. Updated fixtures that fit your personal style add ambiance to a powder room. Pendant lighting or a simple yet modern chandelier will give the space some height as well.  If there is a small window in the powder room use it to your advantage and shop luxury fabrics at La Maison! Our collection of fabrics range from modern, geometric and modular to floral and fabulous.

Pick your favorite piece of art that is both intriguing and colorful! One or two pieces of art makes the space feel hospitable and welcoming. Choose a mirror you love! It should reflect your personal style and the look and feel of the space. We love mirrors that have embellishments or utilize a beautiful finish for extra sparkle.  Offer your best soaps and luxurious hand towels. Since powder rooms are mainly used by guests it’s important to add personal touches that make guests feel as if they’ve stepped into a hotel bathroom. Gold, brass and brushed nickel appear soft and welcoming while also adding warmth to the space. Soft and plush bath rugs give the appearance of luxury while also maintaining the color palette of your choice. Whether you’re ready to completely remodel the powder room, or upgrade the color scheme, La Maison Interiors in Scottsdale is here to guide you on your journey to a stylish powder room
