35 Quick & Clever Powder Room Makeover Tips
Powder rooms may be notoriously small, but they're the perfect place to make your design fantasies a reality, like graphic tile, fabulous fixtures or wallpaper with serious wow-factor. There are practical things to consider before you get to the fun part, though. Wondering how much space is needed between the toilet and sink? At least 18″ to 21″ from the front of the sink or vanity to the toilet. Debating whether it's okay to hang wallpaper in a bathroom? Yes! Look for vinyl papers or ones that are water-resistant (and when in doubt always consult the professionals). Read on for more smart tricks to help you design your dream powder room.
Opt for floor-to-ceiling mirrors. They're an easy way to make a small space seem bigger! Also, mounting a narrow vanity off the floor gives the illusion of more space.

Put wallpaper halfway up the wall.Not only is it a more budget-friendly option, it also helps protects the beautiful print from water damage from little hands splashing around in the sink. Genius!

Go green. For a dose of heritage charm, a deep shade of moss (which is a hot hue for 2020) complements the storied elements in this powder room, like a glass-front cabinet with knick knacks and bathroom essentials on display.

Make it monochromatic. Dress the space in a single print that delivers a dose of personality. Tying in a mirror with a curved silhouette will draw the eye upward and expand the room, so the pattern won't overwhelm.
