Do’s & Don’ts of Powder Room Design



Powder rooms can be somewhat challenging to design and decorate, but with these tips from DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Ogden, you can create a sensible and functional design for a half bath.

Powder Room Do’s

Take note of these reminders when creating a layout, choosing a style or constructing your powder room.

  1. Make sure it’s functional. For powder rooms, bathroom contractors generally advise homeowners to make design choices with functionality in mind. Powder rooms typically don’t have the luxury of space, so you need to be smart and ensure a space-efficient design. 
  2. Free up the floor space. This is a requirement for powder rooms with small square footage or fancy flooring. To keep a good portion of the floor space visible, you can install a floating vanity and some hooks. Apart from freeing up the floor space, these features will also make it easier to move around.
  3. Use appropriate lighting. Many remodeling contractors agree that the right lighting is key to any powder room design. Luckily, you have many options for lighting — you can even mix and match for more impact.
  4. Work with glass and mirrors. It’s hard to go wrong with glass and mirrors. When used correctly, these elements add sophistication to any powder room. Large mirrors — along with a glass countertop, vanity or sink — can also help make the room look bigger.

Powder Room Don’ts

Here are a couple of things to avoid when designing a powder room:

  1. Don’t make it look busy. When it comes to the overall layout of your powder room, it’s best to keep things simple and minimal. When picking fixtures for your powder room, ensure that they aren’t too big or too small.
  2. Don’t add storage. You don’t need to add a lot of storage in a powder room. Extra supplies like towels and toilet paper should be stored in another area. Remember that the space should be clutter-free to maintain a comfortable level of mobility.
