Powder Room Personalities

April 6, 2011 by Jane F 3 Comments

powder room personalities - guest bath with damask wallpaper, modern fixtures and naturalistic stone counter - Jeff Andrews Design via AtticmagWhether you call them zany, individual or original, guest baths have personalities that send unique messages.

Think about it: your powder room is the one place where a guest will be alone long enough to take a close look around. So, what’s the décor in there really about? Last fall, I explored conventional Powder Room Think based on a three-part formula we see again and again – a piece of furniture converted to a vanity, a mirror that supports the furniture style, and some surface decoration in the form of tile, stone or texture. If that 1,2,3 approach is the yin of powder rooms, the yang represents powder rooms with distinctive – dare we say unforgettable? — personalities.

The Jeff Andrews’ guest bath [top] gets my vote for maxing out the most styles in one small space. First is the black and white damask-revival wallpaper layered with the curvy silhouette of a black Venetian style mirror – which we’ve been seeing for some time. The pendulum swings to modern tubular pendant lights matched with a sleek wall-mounted sink faucet set and platinum-hued vessel sink. Then, like an old hippie in Birkenstocks crashing a party, there’s a granite sink counter and backsplash with naturalistic edges that screams organic!  For me, this manages to look inspired by architecture in L.A.

While fluorescent lights are  a popular green-build choice, the glare could be rough going after a few drinks.

powder room personalities - boho powder room with brown walls and spider base sink - Dwell via AtticmagAny powder room with a disco glitter ball understands the concept of urban glamor. What I love  is the boho aura of the the spidery sink base, retro faucet, dark walls, floor lamp and small extension mirror that functions best for close-up tasks like shaving or mascara application. Cool and low budget, this powder room screams “hipster dude lives here.” Anyone with big hair is visiting the wrong house.

    Love those off-center pendants in the Jeff Andrews bath. I couldn’t handle the wallpaper and mirror (just personal style preference), but really like the rest of what he has going on there.

    I think powder rooms are good spaces in which to have a little fun. I like to stay in character with the house somewhat, but the rooms are naturally separate, so a good time to show some individual personality.

    Our oldest chose a light fixture with moose incorporated in the design for the main bath/powder room on our main floor. Her bedroom was in our future library, which was nearby, and she said that when she got up early, facing a day at work or school, that the moose would make her giggle and brighten her outlook on the day. I figured the whole family would benefit from the mood improvement, so heartily OK’d the choice. 😉 The light fixture drove the other choices, for a little more rustic and lodgy look than most of the house.

    LOVE the first one… the wallpaper and the live edge wood. I never would have put them together, but they look stunning!
