Small expressions with bold impact; step inside seven statement-making powder rooms.
When it comes to making a statement, designers often experiment in the powder room, presenting an opportunity to take risks in a compact space. In this design covet, we see how a splash of paint, a slab of stone or an expressive tile can transform a sink and a toilet into a conversation starter.
Surry Hills by Alexandra Brown
The bold stone in Alexandra Brown’s Surry Hills powder room features expressive dark cherry and blush pink veining. A brass tap and accent wall sconces complete this statement-making space.
Summer House by Benoit Viaene
An awakening of the senses; the powder room in Benoit Viaene’s Summer House submerges guests in a sea of deep green. Lapicida Verde Alpi stone proves, once again, to be a fool-proof way to bring arresting opulence to any space.
Potts Point by Flack Studio
The baby pink powder room at Potts Point is a testament to Flack Studio’s courageous approach to colour and materiality. The reeded glass wall is an unexpected touch, introducing a subtle indoor-outdoor connection.
Hill House by Decus Interiors and Luigi Rosselli Architects
The powder room in this light-filled Sydney home by Decus Interiors and Luigi Rosselli Architects features a thematic palette of indigo and purple, realised in oversized tiles and bold stone. A brushed black chrome Vola tap and Articolo Fizi Ball wall sconces complete the striking space.
Garden Room House by Clare Cousins
Clare Cousins Architects took their signature bold blue to the powder room in this North Fitzroy home – a striking contrast to the home’s otherwise neutral palette.
Killcare House by Decus Interiors
This blue-themed powder room refuses to be overlooked in an urban beach house by Decus Interiors. With painted walls, patterned-tile floors and a custom stone sink, the seemingly insignificant space is made anything but.
Light Play House by Marie Lecluyse
A minimalist Belgian residence designed by interior designer Maries Lecluyse features a powder room with a mosaic of shimmering tiles. The home remains otherwise neutral in materiality in true Belgian style, making the powder room a pleasant anomaly.
