The powder room is an opportunity to pack a design punch - without punching a hole in your remodeling budget.
DESIGNER TOUCHES
"Smaller spaces mean that you can invest more in each element without going over budget," says Melissa Diaz, interior designer and owner of Stunningly Staged Homes. "Designer wallpaper, premium fixtures, luxurious surfaces - in small quantity, they're kind to the bottom line while giving your home a custom, refined feel."
THE PERFECT BACKDROP
Carrara marble countertops, framed mirror, shining hardware, custom lighting, a vessel sink - and even an electrical outlet plate that has been wrapped to blend seamlessly - were all upgrades to this Stevenson Ranch home. "The bold white palette expands the space, making it feel larger," says Diaz, "and it also serves as the perfect backdrop for seasonal changes to the decor."


LUXURIOUS BATH TREATS
Imported hand soap enriched with essential oils and individual hand towels are affordable powder room additions that make guests feel spoiled and treasured.
TEXTURE REFRESHER
From a collection of richly-textured ivory feathers to a rustic grouping of hydrangeas, the space transitions seasons with style. "It's so easy to refresh a room like this," says Diaz. "You don't even have to change the color palette - just a swap of textures makes a major impact."
PULLS THAT POP
"Such an intimate space that's seen by so many provides an opportunity to really embrace the details," says Diaz, who selected designer gold pulls that pop against the stark-white cabinetry.
