Powder rooms are typically very tight spaces.  This creates interesting decorating dilemmas, and also provides the convenience of being able to do makeovers quickly and easily.  The minute size of a typical powder room gives homeowners the perfect opportunity to do something unique and daring, while providing amazing results.  Here are my tips for a doing a powder room makeover.   

Do an unusual wall-finish.  Some of my favorite unique wall finishes are stucco covered walls with fleur-de-lis stamped impressions, or a faux wood grain finish.   

Add an extravagant window treatment.  Powder room windows seldom have great views, and they are not meant to.  For that reason you should install a window treatment that serves as a wonderful view.  I like to use at least two layers of window treatments such as a balloon shade and topper.   

Finally add wall accessories that are certain to catch the eye.  I like to add a wall shelf with votive candles to my powder room, an wall decorations such as  a hanging wall vase or two, since there isn’t much counter space to add flowers.  I particularly like this Taranto Wooden Wall Vase for my powder room walls.  It is 15” high and 12 inches wide and makes a great focal point whether it contains fresh flowers, silk plants, whether it sits empty.  It has a beautiful classic, traditional appearance and is gilded in gold with carved details.
