Do guests have to hunt through your house to find the bathroom? Adding a powder room, or half-bath, as they’re commonly referred to, may be the perfect solution.
Modern powder rooms are small secondary bathrooms positioned closer to living areas — so guests can easily access them for quick trips and touch-ups.
As powder rooms don’t get as much use as your primary bathroom, they’re a great place to have some fun with the design, creating an impactful and memorable experience for your guests.
If you want to make a statement with your powder room renovation, our bathroom experts at Balnei & Colina can help design a stylish space that still feels luxurious and functional.
In this month’s B&C Home Journal, we share five inspiring powder room designs for your next renovation. Enjoy!

We’ve seen powder room designs come to life when traditional elements are incorporated. Blending new and old design elements creates a contemporary yet timeless space, adding a memorable splash of character.
The vanity is often the centerpiece of powder room designs, so you could opt for a traditional style that features a pedestal sink or use gold or copper tapware to support a more traditional aesthetic.

Wallpaper is making a comeback in bathroom renovations. It’s an effective and affordable way to inject personality into any space — and your powder room is no exception.
No matter what your unique style looks like, wallpaper can produce it — whether you’re intrigued by the idea of making a bold statement or adding a subtle feature wall to your powder room.

The benefits of wallpaper don’t end with its versatility either. Wallpaper is also easy to maintain and great for concealing unfortunate surface flaws like chips or cracks.
Special wallpapers can also help to regulate heat loss, so if a cooler nook of your home could do with some added warmth, wallpaper could be an excellent option.

I know what you’re thinking — a dark colour palette in a compact space? Won’t that make my powder room feel even smaller? Interestingly, using dark colours in a small space can make it feel larger by blurring the room’s boundaries and making it feel limitless.
Using darker materials in your powder room design adds depth — especially if you choose high-gloss finishes. Gloss and matte finishes can also be featured side by side to create a subtle but eye-catching contrast.

It’s worth keeping in mind that fingerprints and water streaks will be more obvious on smooth glossy surfaces, so if practicality is your most important consideration, matte or undulating surfaces will satisfy your brief best.
We love an all-white bathroom, but if you want to try something different and create a moody atmosphere, lean into darker wall colours. Your powder room will instantly feel chic and sophisticated.

When renovating a powder room, you can create a space that has a high-end look and feel without compromising on functionality.
To maximise the space within a smaller powder room renovation, a great option is to downsize your sink. Compact floating sinks are sleek and a huge space saver.

If you’re considering the minimalist route, we’d recommend keeping your colour palette neutral and bright, choosing one standout feature to draw your attention. For instance, in the example above, the tiling is the first thing you notice. It provides contrast to the lightness of the walls and adds texture.
Reducing visual clutter is a surefire way to give an understated yet luxurious feel to your renovated powder room.

When it comes to powder rooms, painting the walls may be tempting as it is an easy and economical option. However, if you opt for ceramic tiles on your walls, you can create a unique, detail-rich look for your space.
Whether you’re interested in creating luxurious features or adding some subtle detailing, using ceramic tiles in your powder room can help you achieve your dream space.
Thanks to their strength and finish, ceramic tiles are generally far more durable than paint and can be surprisingly cost-effective (especially for compact spaces).
