If your home includes a powder room, it might be the best spot in the house to let your creative juices flow. With no shower or bathtub in the room, you don’t have to worry about wallpaper peeling off due to steam. And with a smaller footprint than a full bathroom, you can select higher-end tile and stone without breaking the bank. Check out these 20 jewel box powder rooms and let us know which one you like best.

@queenlouis Haha, no, American... and Iowan in particular. I hear he had a good turnout at his live show here! It's just hard to go wrong with Red Green. :) We've been watching him since the early 2000s.
How does one use the sink if it is attached smack behind the toilet? If one is tall, I suppose the tall person can hunch over the toilet to use the sink—hoping one doesn’t need to do anything more than wash one’s hands. We short folks must either straddle the stool or kneel on it. Neither option holds any appeal. Overall, despite being sleek and space-saving, I think the toilet attached to the sink is quite a poorly considered, thoroughly bad idea.
