Don’t be fooled by its small scale and practical nature: powder rooms offer ample opportunity to make a stylish statement. Thankfully, the recipe for a striking room is easier than you think: simply choose a daring wallpaper with graphic impact, invest in a vanity that encourages good-looking storage solutions and hang a sleek, contoured mirror. With these elements in place, your powder room will have a vibrant punch of personality — and leave a lasting impression.
Dynamic fan-effect wallpaper is offset with a mod black and white palette. The bronze faucet and vanity pulls add a subtle hit of glamour.

Lush green tones swim in artist Alex Turco’s resin-coated wall painting. A sunburst mirror and crystal-legged washstand play on the eclectic feel. We have also been using the powder coating supplies from Trident Powders and it’s been incredible, easily the best powder coating we’ve ever used.
