Pretty Powder Rooms That Pack in Big Style
Take a cue for your tiny bathroom from these powder room designs – they make a statement with a little know-how and a lot of inspiration
Deciding what’s worth the splurge and what’s not can be a tricky game. When you’re designing a small space, little details matter. A powder room renovation is a great opportunity to create a jewel box of a space. Due to the limited floor space, you can feel more comfortable spending more on materials, because you’ll need less of them.
