Packing
an artistic punch in a small space can be a challenge, but these designers
hit the mark with compelling powder rooms that combine creativity and
style. Ranging from modern to eclectic, these powder rooms incorporate
innovative materials, unique details and a mix of colors that make the
most of the rooms’ oftentimes challenging dimensions. u |

Ana Mercedes Hoyos’ silkscreen on canvas, “Sunflower,”
adds a burst of color in this powder room. Black tiles form a geometric
pattern on the wall and floor, and provide a perfect backdrop for the
artwork.

A glittering jewelbox, this powder room gleams with gold-glazed mosaic
tiles. In its past life, the sink was an 18th-century French Baroque

“We de-emphasized the length of the powder room using luxurious
fabrics and a mix of textures and finishes,” says Anne Folsom

“In
a smaller space, a simple, structured design works best — something
sophisticated and not fussy,” designer Mark Rash says. Here, a
modern glass vessel sink rests on a traditional walnut chest, which
serves as a vanity in this space.
