Our 30 Favorite Powder Rooms

Classic meets contemporary in this glossy black powder room with a timeless herringbone backsplash. A streamlined white countertop creates a striking contrast against the black floating vanity while touches of gold bring in a dose of glam.

Butterflies, birds and flowers fill this powder room with flights of fancy. The lucite-legged vanity adds a lightness to space, taking up less real estate than a traditional vanity. Delicate touches, such as the curvy mirror and brass sconces, feel perfectly at home.

With natural light pouring in and lots of cheerful yellow, this powder room is the epitome of happy and energetic. A splashy pattern dots the walls and stripes decorate the ceiling, creating a mix of patterns that's surprising yet perfectly paired.

Diamond-patterned cement tiles create a stunning geometric backdrop to this hexagonal mirror in glam gold. The wall-mounted faucet takes up zero counterspace to create a super simple, clean look — a smart way to add openness to an on-the-small-size powder room.

This bath's moody black walls are tempered by the striking white vanity clad in Carrara marble countertops. Matte champagne bronze fixtures and hardware add an of-the-moment finish to this powder room. The mirror framed with weathered gray barnwood, along with the artwork, layer in a note of rustic Western style.

Texture takes center stage and brings a tactile delight to this powder room where grasscloth wallpaper pairs with tongue-and-groove wainscoting and a distressed wood vanity. In lieu of a standard mirror, this illuminated glass frame adds a soft glow to the space.

Create a bathroom you'll love getting ready in each morning by accessorizing it with vintage finds for a collected-over-time vibe. From the tiered server turned makeup storage to the childs' bathtub that now stores towels, the industrial style of this vanity area is softened with a variety of secondhand finds.

Play around with a variety of elements to create a design of your own. Classic pieces, like the marble countertops and antiqued mirror, find their contemporary counterparts in the chevron wallpaper and preppy green vanity for a powder room that mixes style with ease.

Powder rooms may be a favorite place to go over the top with wallpaper or tilework, but there's something to be said about a simple space that's refreshing and welcoming. Beach gray-green paint sets the scene for this bathroom, and a custom painting by HGTV designer David Bromstad nods to the coastal home's location.

Behind this thick floating vanity is a mirror that stretches from floor to ceiling. All mirrors help to expand rooms visually, but this one seems to double-time the effect. An Oriental rug brings a burst of color underfoot.

Every green thumb knows that plants are a sunny bathroom's best friend. Especially good picks are ferns, philodendron, diffenbachia, Chinese evergreen (or aglaonema), cyclamen and kalanchoe — all hardy picks that will not only brighten up your bathroom but that also work to clean the air.

This midnight floral wallpaper combines romance, mystery and a lot of pattern to create one striking space. Linear sconces and a streamlined sink keep the room from feeling too fussy, while gilded metallics infuse warmth into the palette.

In a truly tiny space, there might be room for only one showstopping piece — so, make it count. This petite powder room pairs reclaimed woods and distressed paint with marble countertops and chrome fixtures for a lovely design. However, the antique mirror with its intricate etchings is the wow-worthy centerpiece.

In this eclectic powder room, guests are greeted with a bold, whimsical wallpaper featuring black-and-white peacock feathers. Pedestal sinks often look contemporary, but designer Allison Lind chose one with a column base and soft, curvy lines for a more traditional style. A large round mirror brings the silver hue of the hallway into the bathroom and helps to visually enlarge the space.

A powder room full of our favorite pink ladies? Yes, please. This flamingo wallpaper and all its exuberance is balanced by simple choices throughout the rest of the space: a pedestal sink, round vintage mirror, acrylic towel holder and exposed bulb light fixture.

Coastal meets farmhouse in this charmingly blue powder room. The sky blue of the vanity, topped in chunky quartz countertops, picks up its shade from the detailing of the graphic-patterned wallpaper. The coral-inspired mirror channels a texture-filled, beachy vibe.

This dressed-in-black powder room sets a moody atmosphere. Wandering moldings and 3-D floating stars add dimension and help bounce your eye around the space. Gold accents add the just-right touch of glitz to this saturated space.

Subtly striped walls visually lead to a dramatic angled accent wall clad in hexagonal iridescent tiles. The sleek floating vanity combined with a long, vertical window bring an airy quality to this on-the-dark-side powder room.

An intricate wallpaper is best complemented by classic, white wainscoting that holds its own without stealing the show. A simple console sink is a great option for small bathrooms since they take up less space and maintain an airy, open look.

A favorite designer trick to creating a one-of-a-kind powder room is to repurpose an antique dresser into a vanity. Contemporary meets traditional when this bathroom's graphic black-and-white wallpaper is paired with white beadboard and chair-rail molding.
