This Trending Now story features the most-saved powder room photos uploaded to Houzz between March 15 and June 15, 2026.

For inspiration, check out this countdown of the most-saved powder room photos recently uploaded to Houzz to see how pros took risks that create a lasting impression.

10. Earthy Elegance

9. Shaping Up

A slatted partition provides privacy while letting natural light into this Seattle powder room uploaded by Smith & Vallee Cabinet Makers. A white floating sink maintains the spacious atmosphere and adds clean lines while providing enough heft to ground the design. Angles and spheres round out the space with an orb light, hexagonal wall tile and mirror framed in a geometric motif.

8. Secret Garden

Board & Vellum brought a slice of India to this Seattle powder room with Mindthegap’s Gardens of Jaipur wallpaper, which transports with a lively, colorful scene of people, animals, plants and trees. While a simple round mirror and an understated bar light keep the focus on the vibrant walls, the vanity’s fluted detailing and dark marbled countertop add sophisticated depth.

A pale wood vanity provides storage, while a circular mirror softens the room’s linear elements. Dark-finished plumbing fixtures and a matching towel ring add a bit of contrast, and a heated towel rack shows that even a small space can include luxurious touches.

5. Blues Cues

An Inspiring Home embraced a classic color palette to give this North Carolina powder room an air of tailored refinement. Geometric wallpaper in varying shades of blue creates a dynamic backdrop for a crisp navy-and-white vanity and warm gold accents. A wavy mirror frame subtly nods to the ocean, while the globe pendant lights are positioned so their decorative bands align with the mirror’s top edge.

4. Vintage French FlairA custom Calacatta Viola marble sink offers a dramatic, ethereal focal point in this California powder room by Together Home Design Studio. With its Art Deco-inspired silhouette, fluted front and integrated backsplash, the sink reads as functional sculpture, balanced by an ornate vintage French mirror and flanking sconces. Painting the walls and ceiling in a single deep hue (Forest Floor in a Roman Clay finish by Portola Paints) creates an enveloping effect. Unlacquered brass fixtures add a soft shine.

3. Past Perfect

For a powder room inside an 1860s Massachusetts Victorian home, McGuire + Co. Kitchen & Bath embraced the property’s historical roots. Black-and-white basket-weave floor tile establishes the vintage look, complemented by a classic white pedestal sink and wallpaper designed in 1874 (Emery’s Willow in Emery Blue by Morris & Co.) Deep green walls (Enchanted Forest by Benjamin Moore) featuring elegant molding and mixed-metal fixtures complete the space, while a framed, oversized vintage bottle label serves as an unexpected focal point.

2. Living-Space Style

With its legged vanity, patterned area rug and delicate cafe curtain, this Illinois powder room channels the warmth of a primary living space. Molly Quinn Design anchored the room with a 36-inch rift-sawn white oak vanity that offers generous storage while introducing a rich texture against the soft blue walls. On the upper portion of the room, organic-patterned wallpaper softens the clean, hard lines of the wall tile and cabinetry below, all resting on a pristine marble-look tile floor.

1. Victorian Vision

HarmoniQ Design Studio reconfigured the layout of this Northern California powder room to ensure a striking view the moment the door opens. The eye is immediately drawn to an elongated scalloped mirror layered over a hand-illustrated wallpaper depicting woodland creatures (Trematonia in Onyx by House of Hackney). From there, a series of bold bespoke details emerge: unexpected black wainscoting (Wrought Iron by Benjamin Moore), an open wood vanity showcasing gleaming brass plumbing and a black stone sink with dramatic, lightning-strike veining. While the design draws heavily on Victorian influences, the final result is one of modern sophistication.

6 Dramatic New Powder Rooms

No Comments



Designer: Nadia Shapiro of HarmoniQ Design Studio
Location: Los Gatos, California
Size: 20 square feet (1.9 square meters)

Homeowners’ request. “This home was originally built in the 1960s, and before we joined the project our clients had already rebuilt the house and reworked the overall layout with their architects,” says designer Nadia Shapiro. “We were invited to refine and elevate several areas, including this powder room. Since the powder room serves as a hallway bathroom for guests and our clients love to entertain, we wanted it to feel memorable, moody and expressive. More like a little jewel box than a purely functional space. The client is a stage designer and loves the romance and drama of the Victorian era, so our goal was to translate that inspiration in a way that felt fresh, sophisticated and connected to the rest of the home.”

Special features. “One of the most important decisions was rethinking the layout,” Shapiro says. “We followed the principle that when you open the door, your eye should be drawn toward something beautiful. By adjusting the layout we were able to make the vanity and mirror the main focal point, which immediately gave the room a stronger sense of intention. We then layered whimsical animal wallpaper with wainscoting to bring in personality and a subtle Victorian-inspired feeling. The room also features a stone sink, custom cabinetry, brass finishes and a patterned floor, all of which helped create that moody, collected, jewel box atmosphere.”

Designer tip. “Powder rooms are the perfect place to take a design risk,” Shapiro says. “Because they are smaller and often used by guests, you can be more expressive with wallpaper, pattern, color and lighting. The key is to balance the drama with architectural details like wainscoting so the space still feels grounded and timeless.”

6 New Powder Rooms That Go All In on Drama

No Comments



Designer: Clare Donohue of One to One Studio
Location: New York City
Size: 15 square feet (1.4 square meters)

Homeowners’ request. “The clients dreamed of a swank loo for guests, but the old powder room was in desperate shape, additionally serving as the HVAC center and laundry room — all in a truly tiny space,” says designer Clare Donohue. “The new HVAC system required a much larger footprint, so we relocated the laundry to a separate space. I had to come up with a creative way to hide all those ugly machines and still make it special. Current visitors would never guess what lies behind the satiny paneled walls of the finished space: a mechanical closet filled with ugly machinery.”

Special features. “The renovated powder room is kitted out with custom wood panels that lift off to service the hidden HVAC equipment,” Donohue says. “Making use of every available inch, we created recessed display shelves from a small leftover niche. A beveled mirror spans the main wall. A floating sink with a wall-mounted faucet makes the most of the small space. The lower portion of the sink and toilet walls are protected from splashes with inset stone panels. Marble hex tiles cover the floor. All are color-matched to a rich charcoal color.”

Designer tip. “Don’t let small size stop you from making it special,” Donohue says. “The odds were against us here, but I was convinced we could make it beautiful despite the room being, in reality, a giant air handler.”

“Uh-oh” moment. “This one was nothing but challenges,” Donohue says. “The HVAC system went through a dozen revisions, each requiring adjustments to the room design. It ended up eating up extra ceiling and floor space and requiring the brick of the exterior wall to be opened up many floors up in a narrow outside courtyard filled with irreplaceable leaded glass windows. The engineers and co-op board feuded over what type of insulation would work, for weeks, while holding up framing and install. While we waited for the final room size to be determined, we couldn’t place the order for the custom sink, which had a huge lead time. In the end, we lucked out and were able to use a stocked size for much less money and faster delivery time.

“The room backs up to the elevator shaft, requiring us to fur out the wall for plumbing lines, making a small room even smaller. The Caesarstone wall inserts we had spec’d were based on a color sample that it turned out had been sold out without notice, and replaced with a much darker color, without a name change. So the contractor arrived with black, not gray, panels to install, at which point we had to get the whole of Caesarstone’s corporate offices involved to find a solution, all while the move-in date loomed. I swear, it felt like everything was against this design. I had to be really stubborn to get it to end up as envisioned. And we had a great team of engineers and project managers to pull it together.”

10 Things to Enhance Your Powder Room for the Holidays or Anytime

No Comments



Holiday and party guests may never see your bedroom or home office, but they’ll likely make a stop in the powder room. With a little extra care, you can make this small but hardworking space welcoming, whether for a special occasion or drop-in visitors. Here are 10 touches to help dress up your powder room for company.

1. Orchids

Longer lasting than a bouquet of flowers and undeniably elegant, orchids make a smart choice for the powder room.

While rare varieties of orchids can be expensive, you can often find budget-friendly potted orchids right in your local grocery store.

Orchids like bright indirect light, so a sink by a shaded window would be ideal.

2. Scent Diffuser

You may not feel comfortable leaving a lit candle in the powder room during a party, especially if children are present. But having a pleasing scent in the space is a gracious detail.

Choose a scent diffuser in a subtle fragrance and set it on the sink or a nearby shelf. You’ll get the good vibes without the flame. Choose the right size diffuser for the space and consider one made with pure essential oils.

3. Nice Soap and Hand Lotion

Swap out your usual no-frills hand soap for a pretty matching set of liquid soap and lotion. It’s such a simple thing, but guests really appreciate it.

Bonus points if you pick a seasonally inspired scent like apple cider or pumpkin spice in fall and peppermint or pine in winter.

4. Vase of Flowers

In the powder room (already a small space), a mini bouquet can make a big impression. Place a bud vase or other small vessel (cream pitchers and julep cups work well) on the sink and fill it with a few stems of freshly cut flowers. And if you have a bouquet in another room already, just pull out a few stems for the powder room — no need to buy anything extra.

5. Pretty Little Tray

Corralling things on trays is a staple decorator trick. If you don’t already have a small tray you could use, keep an eye out at flea markets for vintage trays. Setting your soap and bud vase on a pretty little ceramic or silver tray will make your powder room setup look intentionally designed.

6. Statement-Making Mirror

If your powder room has an easily removable mirror, swapping it for something with more personality can be a great way to refresh the space.

Generally speaking, opting for a mirror the same size or larger than the old one makes for the easiest (that is, fewest holes to fill) swap.

7. Posh Wastebasket

Is it silly that something as small as a wastebasket can make an impression? Maybe so, but upgrading this detail can boost your powder room’s stylishness just the same.

Look for one made from a material with a bit of shine like brass, copper, wire or ceramic.

8. Seasonal Wreath

Around the holidays, including a wreath in the powder room can make the space feel really festive. Pick up a wreath of fresh greenery, preserved olive branches, magnolia leaves or winter berries and hang it right over the mirror.

9. Monogrammed Linens

Setting out fresh cloth hand towels with your monogram is a welcoming personal touch. For a budget-friendly option, go for a single-letter monogram. Triple-letter monograms are elegant but tend to cost more since they are made to order.

10. New Paint Color

Have a free weekend in your future and want to give your powder room a whole new look? A new wall color can offer the biggest impact. Don’t be afraid to go bold: Navy, charcoal and even black look elegant in a bite-size space.

7 Bold New Powder Rooms

No Comments



Designers: Jessica Warren and Amanda Tarango of Baker Design Group
Location: Spring, Texas
Size: 47 square feet (4.4 square meters)

Homeowners’ request. “The clients’ needs, wants and goals were to modernize the space; create a luxurious, dramatic feel; and honor original architectural details,” designer Jessica Warren says.

Special features. “A handcrafted wallpaper with a large-scale, textural pattern works beautifully within the room’s small footprint and tall ceilings, adding visual depth without overwhelming the space,” Warren says. “The metallic finish introduces a dramatic, luxurious quality. To maintain a cohesive, monochromatic palette, the trim and ceiling were painted in a coordinating hue (Peppercorn by Sherwin-Williams).”

The vanity is a custom ebony-stained cabinet with a quartz countertop and a round beige opaque glass sink.

Designer tip. “We leaned into this powder bath’s challenges — tall ceilings and tricky angles — by embracing a darker, monochromatic palette,” Warren says. “The deep tones grounded the room and minimized awkward proportions. To elevate the space and keep it from feeling heavy, we layered in pops of gold. That subtle shimmer catches the light, creating a dramatic yet elegant atmosphere — perfect for homeowners wanting both boldness and sophistication in a smaller space.”

“Uh-oh” moment. “Midway through installation, our wallpaper installer informed us that we didn’t have enough paper to complete the project,” Warren says. “Since the wallpaper was handcrafted and would take six to eight weeks to remake, waiting wasn’t an option. As a quick solution, we sourced a stunning glass tile for the vanity wall — and in the end, we think it turned out even better that way.”

Wallpaper: Ginza in Granite, MDC; backsplash tile: Brook in Stacked Twilight, Soho Studio; sink: Whist opaque glass in Doe, Kohler; sconces: Copenhagen in vintage brass, Corbett collection, Hudson Valley Lighting; mirror: Vault, Uttermost; hardware: Dayton in champagne bronze, Miseno

6. Leap of Leopard

Designer: Dawn Rothenbacher of Roth Design
Location: Charlotte, North Carolina
Size: 42 square feet (3.9 square meters); 6 by 7 feet

Homeowners’ request. “The homeowner wanted more of an exciting experience when walking through her home, each space leaving a lasting impression,” designer Dawn Rothenbacher says. “She loves exotic animals and had an inspiration picture with these particular colors, so we started there. She didn’t want a boring beige box.”

Special features. “The Schumacher Iconic Leopard wallpaper is the showstopper for this space,” Rothenbacher says. “The fact that we applied it to her 10-foot ceiling as well made it even more of a wow factor. Light and plumbing fixtures were sourced in a lacquered brass to prevent tarnishing. The mirror was an antique the homeowner had in storage.” A leopard print trash bin complements the wallpaper.

Designer tip. “Never forget your ceiling,” Rothenbacher says. “People think about the walls and floors but never the untapped potential of changing the ceiling color or pattern. This is where the drama lives. A powder room has a short amount of time to make a lasting positive impression. I also recommend people starting with the powder room when renovating. It’s the quickest turnaround for seeing impactful results. This keeps you motivated to continue to do the next space.”

“Uh-oh” moment. “Most people get scared of wallpaper behind a toilet, sink or on a ceiling,” Rothenbacher says. “The best solution is to hire professional installers. When spending money on expensive designer wallpaper, you don’t want to waste your money with mistakes due to lack of experience.”

3. Teal Tile and Patterned Flooring

Location: Dove Canyon, California
Size: 42 square feet (3.9 square meters); 6 by 7 feet

Homeowners request. “This was a dream client, she just kept saying, ‘I trust you, do whatever you want,’” designer Laurie Montour says. “We did a large-scale remodel while she was living in New York City. Everything was approved by photos and samples.”

Special features. “We wanted to create an impactful space with an odd sloped ceiling and asymmetry,” Montour says. “We used a teal green tile wall to repeat some of the colors of the entire home and give the powder bath some color while keeping everything else neutral. The fun patterned tile floors with the hanging pendant light give this room so much personality.”

Designer tip. “Hanging pendant lighting in a bathroom is a fun way to use lighting,” Montour says. “I always recommend recessed overhead lighting along with pendants to ensure adequate lighting.”
