An extensive remodel was needed to bring this home back to its glory. A previous remodel had taken all of the character out of the home. The original kitchen was disconnected from other parts of the home. The new kitchen open up to the other spaces while maintaining the home’s integratory. The kitchen is now the center of the home with a large island for gathering. The bathrooms were reconfigured with custom tiles and vanities. We selected classic finishes with modern touches throughout each space.

Portland Basement and half bathroom

Let's Remodel

This bathroom had lacked storage with a pedestal sink. The yellow walls and dark tiled floors made the space feel dated and old. We updated the bathroom with light bright light blue paint, rich blue vanity cabinet, and black and white Design Evo flooring. With a smaller mirror, we are able to add in a light above the vanity. This helped the space feel bigger and updated with the fixtures and cabinet.

South Shore Kitchen and 1st Floor Renovation

J.P. Hoffman Design Build

Part of the 1st floor renovation was giving the powder room a facelift. There was an underutilized shower in this room that we removed and replaced with storage. We then installed a new vanity, countertop, tile floor and plumbing fixtures. The homeowners chose a fun and beautiful wallpaper to finish the space.

A custom arched built-in, gilded light fixtures, serene blue walls, and Arabian-style tile. These subtle yet impactful details combine to transform this classic powder room into a jewel-box space.

Eclectic WC

User

This understairs WC was functional only and required some creative styling to make it feel more welcoming and family friendly. We installed UPVC ceiling panels to the stair slats to make the ceiling sleek and clean and reduce the spider levels, boxed in the waste pipe and replaced the sink with a Victorian style mini sink. We repainted the space in soft cream, with a feature wall in teal and orange, providing the wow factor as you enter the space.

Traditional Powder Room Design Ideas with Blue Walls

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 traditional 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 traditional 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 traditional 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!
