Powder rooms are underrated in most homes, relegated to function over form. Because of their often small size, powder rooms are the ideal place to experiment with colors, patterns and trendy design. Encourage your customers to make their powder rooms pretty and practical with these product ideas.
Wallpaper and paint. Stock bold patterns and exciting colors that will add a pop of interest to a powder room. Consider including suggested paint colors to match different wallpaper designs to provide inspiration and guidance on making the room’s different elements blend seamlessly. For example, the Selene Silver Mucha Floral Wallpaper from Brewster Home Fashions has a bold floral pattern and texture and looks even more beautiful with Benjamin Moore’s Coventry Gray.
Furniture and fixtures. Forget the standard white pedestal sink and suggest a contemporary sink like the Kohler Vox Round vessel sink for a modern touch in the powder room. Paired with the Kohler Components™ Ribbon Bathroom Sink Spout with rocker handle, it makes a dramatic statement in the space. When suggesting cabinet colors and finishes, white is always a classic choice or you can suggest a daring color like navy, hunter green or teal.
Accessories and extras. Finish out the space with accessories like the Super Plush Hand Towels from Brooklinen, which come in nine designer colors. Round out the room with a decorative mirror, towel bar and soap holder or dispenser. Add colorful prints or paintings to the walls for an extra touch of color.
