Small Spaces Can Make Bold Statements: The Powder Room

Composizione_01_V1_DEF (1)

Even the smallest spaces in a home can embody a luxury aesthetic, including the powder room. Whether you do it with color, texture, contemporary shapes, or all of the above, you can make a bold statement or have a little fun with carefully curated solutions that amplify your style and bring individuality to the forefront.

Spotlight on the Vanity

Although a pedestal or console is a great choice for a powder room, they typically don’t offer much in the way of concealed storage. If you want a little more storage in your powder room, a small vanity is the way to go.

Floating or Freestanding

When determining whether a wall-mounted or floor-mounted vanity is the right path for a powder room, consider both your functional needs and the look you’re trying to achieve. A floating vanity helps create the illusion of extra space with the open space below. On the other hand, a freestanding vanity will offer more concealed storage, but will also have a larger footprint and add more “weight” to the space. 

The right choice for your luxury powder room will depend on the room layout, the feel you’re trying to achieve, and how much storage space you require. When designing for a small space, look for vanities with a slimmer profile and a shallower depth to minimize infringing on the footprint.  

Contemporary Contours

 

Clean lines are classic, but a curvy look makes a statement. Go all in with the streamlined silhouette of the Onda vanity. The wavelike drawers can be configured in alignment for a single, elegant form, or opposing to create a curvy contrast. The DOT collection also incorporates curves in the bold accent handles and contoured cabinets.

Tactile Textures

 

Sophisticated textures are one of the marks of luxury, and you incorporate it in your powder room vanity. Whether it’s sleek vertical lines, pillowy diamonds, or a multi-dimensional relief pattern, incorporating texture creates a feast for the senses. Look to the Lamè and Tricot collections for inspiration. Even a simple beveled edge like the hallmark of the Mako collection can transform a powder room into a luxury space.

Make a Style Statement with a Smaller Footprint

If maximizing storage is not your top priority, consoles and pedestals can create stylish design opportunities and still deliver on usability.

Compelling Consoles 

 

Bring vibrant colors into your powder room with the Tuby Anime console, which features 44 contemporary tones paired with a matte black metal frame. Optimize functionality in your small space with a sliding shelf that adds more usable counter space, a towel bar on the side, and a lower shelf.

The Tuby Telaio also offers a rich color palette, matte metal frame, and optional functional elements. Personalize with an integrated basin or above-counter vessel sink delicately perched on the countertop. This sophisticated console also comes in three stylish textures that make the space feel more dynamic.  

To evoke a more spa-like vibe, the Vivace features a contoured basin atop a natural wood bench, available in six warm tones. The basin pairs a bush-hammered texture on the outside with a smooth interior and matching drain cover for a sleek modern effect. 

Seamlessly Integrated Storage Solutions

 

If you need additional storage beyond the vanity or console—or simply want somewhere to display decorative items—wall-mounted storage solutions that incorporate the same materials, finishes, and textures allow you to craft a cohesive design theme. Whether you want a closed cabinet with a narrow profile adjacent to the mirror or a set of slim horizontal shelves to elongate the space, you can design around your layout.
