If you are looking for some inspiration for your powder room, consider these unique ideas:
Dark walls
Painting the bathroom’s walls black or a very dark shade isn’t the typical choice in most bathroom renovations in Calgary. But, if you’re ready to venture away from those light neutral tones, a powder room is a great place to start. Bold, dark colours in a small space can be sticking, especially when paired with contrasting hardware, accents, and decor. For example, you can balance the dark with a bright light, a white countertop, maybe some gold on the fixtures. Even a coloured faucet can help add that pop of balancing colour to the space.
Open vanity
Powder rooms typically include a toilet, vanity, and sink, making a good layout important. Otherwise, the room can quickly feel cramped and lose its design appeal. That’s why an open vanity is a great choice to help expand the space. An open vanity sits slightly above the floor and is open beneath the countertop. Often, open vanities have one or more shelves below to store towels and supplies. Open vanities can help the room feel bigger, but your sink plumbing will be visible. If a visible p-trap pipe bothers you, this design might not be for you. Check out these great small bathroom vanity ideas for inspiration.
Rustic backsplash
Consider a textured or rustic look instead of the traditional sleek tile backsplash if you want a change. Brick backsplash makes for a great feature wall and makes a great contrast with other elements. For example, pair the rest of the bathroom with modern elements like white paint, gold fixtures, and dark accents. Wood panelling will naturally add a rustic look; plus, without a shower, there’s no risk of steam damage.
Pattern up the floor
Tile flooring is perfect for bathroom renovations in Calgary and offers some fun custom looks. Be bold and choose a patterned floor, different sized squares or different colours. It’s a great look to have a unique patterned floor and then simpler elements in the rest of the bathroom. If you go for a coloured floor, pull some of those colours to decorate the faucets or fixtures. That helps subtly unite the look without having too much going on visually in the room.
Theme the space
Do you live near a patch of woods, a lake, or your own acreage? In that case, why not design the theme of your bathroom around your home space? A woodsy bathroom with brown tones, natural wood or pattern wallpaper creates a fun look. For a lakeside home, focus on blue colours, silver accents and custom millwork to create those lake life vibes. Ideas like these will keep the bathroom looking unique and make that connection to your home.
