The Life Aquatic Powder Room

Fiorito Interior Design

When a client in Santa Cruz decided to add on to her Arts and Crafts bungalow, she created enough space for a new powder room, and we looked to the very nearby ocean for inspiration. This coastal-themed bathroom features a very special wallpaper designed by legendary Italian designer Piero Fornasetti, and made by Cole & Sons in England. White wainscoting and a navy blue vanity anchor the room. And two iron and rope sconces with a wonderful maritime sense light this delightfully salty space. Photos by: Fiorito Interior Design

The powder room offer a surprise and a departure from the all the shades of blue in the surrounding rooms. Copper faucet and light fixtures, and the dramatic wallpaper (once used in Mick Jagger's NYC apartment), is a fun surprise!

The original shiplap ceiling was kept in the powder room as it offers a nice contrast to the white walls and fixtures. Floating shelves above the toilet were installed to match shiplap. The vanity cabinet's blue paint match mirror the client had and the pattern of the concrete tile flooring.

Island Cove House

Albert, Righter & Tittmann Architects, Inc.

Island Cove House keeps a low profile on the horizon. On the driveway side it rambles along like a cottage that grew over time, while on the water side it is more ordered. Weathering shingles and gray-brown trim help the house blend with its surroundings. Heating and cooling are delivered by a geothermal system, and much of the electricity comes from solar panels.

Beach Style Powder Room Design Ideas with a Built-in Vanity

Think of your powder room as a small bathroom that’s always on display. Likely to be frequented by guests or used as a second bathroom by family members, it should always look its best. Consisting of little more than a vanity, toilet and sink, you could be mistaken that beach style powder room designs are easy to execute, but the tight space can be tricky to get right. As you plan your bathroom renovation, consider the following.

How do I plan the layout of my powder room?

If you're building from scratch, an architect may be the best person to ask. There are three main objects to consider when planning the layout of your beach style powder room: the door, toilet and sink. Pocket, sliding or folding doors will give you more options for toilet and sink placement, while wall-mounted toilets will help save you a few inches of floor space, and make the room feel more spacious. To ensure ease of use, make sure the toilet has at least 38 centimetres of unobstructed space on either side, and 61 centimetres at the front. Powder rooms are primarily a place to use the toilet and quickly wash your hands, so unless you have the square meterage, you don’t need a full-blown vanity. Look for compact options, like a pedestal or wall-mounted sink instead.

What materials should I use in my powder room?

There’s not much space to work with when designing a beach style powder room, so keep your design fairly simple. Otherwise, too many different patterns and textures will quickly overwhelm the space. To avoid a disjointed design, opt for one statement piece or element, such as a fun splashback, benchtop or vanity, and choose subtle materials like stone, marble or granite for everything else. If you fear you haven’t created enough visual interest, fill the void with bathroom accessories such as hand towels and soap dispensers. High-quality bathroom fixtures – including everything from your toilet roll holder to faucet – with matching lines and style, will make a big difference in a such a small space, so if you have the budget, splurge a little!
