If you are just thinking about renovating your house or actually moving to a new home, then you should mind having a powder room finished with basic accessories in the plan. Also called a halfway bath, the powder room is such a significant part of the house.
So, let’s start with the basics…
What Is A Powder Room In The House?
Table of Contents
A powder room is a small bathroom that is normally composed of just a sink and a toilet.
Have you seen the room in a house where the ladies go in to touch up their make-up? That is the powder room! If you are not yet convinced about having a powder room, then here are 3 main reasons why you should:
3 Reasons Why You Need A Powder Room In Your House
1. Keeps your bathroom private.
The bathroom is such a special room that should actually be individualized by any homeowner.
Suppose your master ensuite has a bathroom or it is just adjacent to your walk-in closet, would you allow people into your bedroom just so they could access the bathroom? No!
And also, you would also want to keep your personal cosmetics and grooming products private. That goes to show that indeed, the powder room is such a necessity.
2. Eases ‘traffic’ from the main bathroom.
Have you had to wait up in line for minutes before actually using the washrooms? Then you must understand that it is better to have a powder room in order to ease the commotion.
This is particularly important in case you have a lot of guests visiting or if you are a big family.
3. Enhances convenience.
The powder room is usually located near the entry of public rooms like the living and dining rooms to make it easily accessible even by the guests. That way, they can help themselves or even freshen up without too much fuss.
Indeed, the powder room has to be that one room in your house that everyone seems to be visiting. This means that it becomes one of the most seen rooms in your house thus it must stand out!
Decorating a small room can be hard and requires more strategy than you would think.
First off, you can always play around with the colors to give your powder room that larger feel than it actually is. For example: painting the walls white would be amazing!

The floating bathroom vanity is the new trend in town!
It offers more space for storage and actually, some floating bathroom vanities have built-in cabinets. But before going for a floating sink, decide how much storage and counter space your powder room can provide.
In the powder room, the sink has to be one of the statement pieces. In this modern age, the floating vanity pops in the space right above the counter.

Most powder rooms tend to have no windows and if there are there, they are made small. That means that you must do a good job with the lighting.
Instead of using some normal light bulbs, set the mood with a beautiful chandelier.

For the ease of cleaning, most home owners prefer tiled floors which tend to be cold and slippery when wet. Hence, the need of that cosy cotton mat for people to stand on.

Candles are so good that we light them during our facial or spa nights but we actually forget to bring them into the powder room as well!
The scented candle releases such a reinforcing smell into the air that provides such an extraordinary sense of calm. You will want your powder room to be such a serene sanctuary, right?
