Echoing a fusion of modernity with elements of traditional design, this penthouse within a towering high-rise artfully pairs contemporary elegance with meaningful nods to its family’s Indian heritage. The 4000-square-foot home spread across two floors and four bedrooms has been designed for a couple in their early 40s, their daughter, and their parents who visit regularly. Upon entering the front door, one is greeted in the foyer below a floating staircase. The crystal light with brass detailing gives a visual peek into the brass accent points across the rest of the home—from the grouting within the marble flooring and brass inlay on the walls to the table legs and knobs on the furniture. A trio of gilded mirrors and a hand-carved console table sit beside an intricate Indian shoe cabinet—the first of many thoughtful fusions of new and old. The foyer features warm golden oak floors and custom brass inlaid tiles, setting the tone for refined materials to come.

We gave a fresh, new look to the Powder Room with crisp white painted wainscoting, and lovely gold leaf wallpaper. The Powder Room window was made to let the light in, and designed and built by Jonathan Clarren, master glass artist. Compositions like this come together by joining elements and accessories, both old and new. Craftsman Four Square, Seattle, WA, Belltown Design, Photography by Julie Mannell.

Delancey Street - Powder Room

J.THOM Residential Design & Cabinetry

Clients wanted to keep a powder room on the first floor and desired to relocate it away from kitchen and update the look. We needed to minimize the powder room footprint and tuck it into a service area instead of an open public area. We minimize the footprint and tucked the PR across from the basement stair which created a small ancillary room and buffer between the adjacent rooms. We used a small wall hung basin to make the small room feel larger by exposing more of the floor footprint. Wainscot paneling was installed to create balance, scale and contrasting finishes. The new powder room exudes simple elegance from the polished nickel hardware, rich contrast and delicate accent lighting. The space is comfortable in scale and leaves you with a sense of eloquence.

A well-done powder room is a must have given its proximity to the kitchen and living room. Commonly known as the guest bathroom, half bath or common bathroom in India, it is likely to be frequented by guests or used as a second bathroom by family members. The powder room is always on display and hence, must look its best. So consider browsing through these small bathroom designs for some inspiration.

What’s the best powder room layout?

While planning a small bathroom design, keep these three main objects in mind: the door, sink, and toilet. Pick layouts and small bathroom ideas which make the area feel more spacious. Install pocket or sliding doors to ensure you have more room to think about the placement of the other elements. Common bathrooms call for compact options like wall pedestal or wall-mounted sinks and toilets. Overall, even the layout of a powder room must provide enough space to move around and should not feel cramped.

What materials should I use in my powder room?

There is not much space to experiment, so don’t try to incorporate too many small bathroom ideas all at once. Avoid mixing multiple patterns and textures in small bathrooms; using a bold mosaic tile backsplash and a patterned tile floor can be overwhelming. Instead, pick a statement element, such as the backsplash, countertop or vanity, and choose subtle materials like stone, marble or granite for everything else.

How do I decorate my small bathroom?

As with all small spaces, the common bathroom should be light and bright. Add a window or skylight to let the natural light in, otherwise use angled and ceiling lights with funky large mirrors to brighten up the space. Pay attention to smaller elements like faucets, hardware, and bathroom accessories such as hand towels and soap dispensers to finish the look of your half bath.

Powder rooms or small bathrooms are primarily a place to use the toilet and quickly wash your hands so, keep in mind the ease of use and visual appeal while designing this space.
