5 Ways To Maximize Space in a Powder Room
The greatest challenge of planning a powder room is making the most of such a small space. After all, it’s essentially a half-bathroom, without a tub or a shower. In today’s post, Bath Planet of Boston takes a look at some strategies that can help you maximize space in a powder room.
- Use the room’s vertical space. One of the key strategies of space conservation is making use of the room’s vertical space. This means installing wall-mounted fixtures and storage solutions. In addition to the much smaller footprint, wall-mounted features show more of the floor, which creates the illusion of a bigger bathroom.
- Install recessed lighting. Protruding lighting fixtures protrude and take up space. Recessed lighting, with proper placement, can help illuminate a powder room without getting in the way. Strategically placed mirrors can complement recessed lighting by dispersing the light, allowing for fewer lighting fixtures.
- Install a pocket door. A pocket door is a sliding door that disappears into the wall when opened, eliminating the need for swing space needed by a standard hinged door. In a powder room, it can give you more flexibility with your floor plan. However, it’s important to note that the bathroom wall will need to be modified to accommodate it. Similarly-styled doors, such as a barn door may also be an option.
- Choose small statement pieces. We’ve been discussing how to make the most of a small space, but that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t sacrifice its aesthetic elements. The key is in choosing a few but important pieces of decor. Even a couple of small potted succulent plants can add visual interest without taking up a significant amount of space.
- Keep it uncluttered. With small spaces like powder rooms, the phrase “less is more” certainly applies. Hideaway or closed cabinetry can help create a streamlined look, while large tiles create fewer grout lines that help reduce visual clutter.
