This home features two powder bathrooms. This basement level powder bathroom, off of the adjoining gameroom, has a fun modern aesthetic. The navy geometric wallpaper and asymmetrical layout provide an unexpected surprise. Matte black plumbing and lighting fixtures and a geometric cutout on the vanity doors complete the modern look.

Industrial Modern Meets Bold Elegance

Henrietta Heisler Interiors Inc

This penthouse in an industrial warehouse pairs old and new for versatility, function, and beauty. The elegant powder room features flying cranes on a moody dark teal wallpaper, 3-tiered gold lotus leaf stack sconces on either side of a beveled mirror, and a furniture style vanity with black counter and gold faucet.

Loo

Otta Design

Our clients wanted the loo to feel more like a 'powder room' than a functional space so we wallpapered the whole room in this subtle but interesting wallpaper. The downstairs loo and bootroom have been carved out of the original second/middle reception room. The access to the existing basement was under the main staircase which meant the loo couldn't be positioned in this otherwise obvious space. The rest of the middle/second reception has been incorporated into the kitchen extension.

Letta London has achieved this project by working with interior designer and client in mind. Brief was to create modern yet striking guest cloakroom and this was for sure achieved. Client is very happy with the result.

Contemporary Black Powder Room Design Ideas

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 contemporary 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 contemporary 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 contemporary 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!
