Guys!! Time to chat POWDER ROOMS! This one is so funny because it's not a room many people think about... yet, it's SO tough to design and makes a huge first impression on your friends and family!! Hope you love this one!! If you enjoy learning about design as much as I love talking about it, make sure to check out the dezignclub if you haven't already guys!! See you there! 🥰😍💕
I like to put little bag hooks on the door or wall. I think that they make a difference , because then people always have a place to hang their purse 👜. Super cute and functional for a powder room.
Putting a purse on the counter is not the most sanitary thing to do, what a neat solution to this Alex!! 🙌🏼 PLUS, you can go bananas with the hook design!!! 🤩💛
Great tips. I like to have a medicine cabinet with basics, like Tylenol, bandaids/Neosporin, Tampax, etc. for my guests, so they don’t have to be embarrassed by asking for these things. I also have paper towels, in nice metal holders, liquid soap pumps (not soap bars), and visible extra toilet paper in every bathroom. A good lock for the door is important, too, guests shouldn’t have to worry about someone walking in on them!
My DIL and son have the most fabulous powder room sink. It’s just a flat slab of polished stone, and the faucet and handles are mounted onto the wall mirror. So many friends come over and ask when the sink will be installed, not realizing that IS the sink. It drains into the back of the wall. It’s so cool and a great conversation piece! Their house was built in the early 1800s, but she has managed to mix modern into their home without taking away from the original character of their home. The doors and 6 fireplace surrounds are all original, there is also a new addition that blends seamlessly with the original home. Their architect did an amazing job! Thank you for suggesting disposable towels in a tray. It really IS so gross to touch a damp hand towel.
OMG!!!! This just goes to show how creative you can get with such a tiny space!! 🙌🏼 I LOVE how they could still show the character of their home while making it their own style!! 🤩🤩
I LOVE that this channel not only helps people in design, BUT can help brighten someone's day!!! 🥰💙 Thank you sooo much for leaving this sweet comment!!! Sending love to Greece!!! 😘✨🇬🇷 💙💙💙💙
I always had a stack of cloth hand towels and never thought the obvious a small laundry basket needs to be there too. Think I will add the paper hand towels to the mix especially when there is more than one visiter. I also believe people like a soap dispenser over a bar of soap.
I love your channel, nobody else talks about basic. Other channels cover living rooms, bedrooms or washrooms but you covered powder room as well. Power room is most visited place by guests and keeping them clean and beautiful is a must. I always try to keep my powder room elegant and clean. Thanks for helping with basic tips. I almost have all but i am going to follow paper napkin tip. I have two hand towels. I know they may not like to use used towels or we will not like to use hand towel that guests used. So it is a pro tip. Love it
#9 - Quality toilet paper! Blue Charmin is the best imo but there are some close 2nd’s. I hate going over ppl’s houses and they have essentially wax paper or sand paper.
The powder room can be such a style splurge because no one spends any significant time in one. It's always a quick visit, so being overcome by anything is either a pleasure or funny. It's so true that the half bathroom can handle wallpaper, whereas the 3/4 or full bathroom cannot due to shower and/or tub moisture. Love the idea of the entire back wall behind the sink being mirrored. This allows people to do some garment adjusting, if need be, too. You are so right about the decor fun, but also the comfort of the guests in using the facilities.
I LOVE hearing your thoughts about this Philippa!!! You're so right, the powder room can be such a splurge and can be SO much to design!! You can go bananas in there!!! 🤪
I’ve put good quality paper towels in a holder. Sharing towels, ewww. I don’t think people will figure out a covered waste basket. Tip #9: Have extra tp in an easy to find spot.
This means SO much to me Belinda!! 💜 I do my best to share tips that can apply to everyone, but the BEST part about design is how creative you can get with any project!! 🙌🏼 I LOVE IT!!! 🤩✨
My powder has no natural light so plants won’t survive in there. When I’m having company, I’ll put an orchid in there and move the plant out when company leaves. But yes, I love plants in the powder room (plus a great smelling candle)
Look into air plants, too. My step-mother had an entire wall covered with marble rubble, and she designed it with some jutting out just enough to fit an air plant on it. It was so lovely. The same thing could be achieved with tiny floating shelves randomly attached to the wall.
Lisa, I love to watch your videos. You pack so many visuals in while you speak about them, it’s very helpful & inspiring. I also love love your enthusiasm when your pointing out details you really. Honestly, it reminds me of shopping with a good friend or my sister when we both see something we like. 😁 Thank you for the wonderful videos. Even when I’m not working on my home, I enjoy watching them. It makes me look at design trends, my style and things I might pick up for my home with a more curated eye. And, of course, I’ve subscribed. 🙂
Perfect timing Lisa, it’s my next room to do by Christmas. But I’m procrastinating because there’s so much pressure to make it right! First impression is everything. Looking forward in all you bring to this tiny but mighty room!
EXACTLY, Marjorie!!! I figured ppl would be thinking about having friends over, and you DEF want to handle this room for when they come, everyone LUVS a pretty powder room! xoxoxL
Once again you answered another hesitation I was having, a big mirror. I wanted to put to use my mirror I had in my master bath before the remodel. Tomorrow I will be calling my installer!
This was such fun to watch 👏👏👏👏👏😁😁😁😁😁😍😍😍😍😍. In my previous house we had a powder room or guest loo as we called it. I had art work in it and a real fun tap and light fixture. I had a basket with face cloths instead of a towel for people to dry their hands and a small woven basket for the used/ wet cloths. I loved all the statement powder rooms you showed 😍😍😍😍😍😍. I removed all the wallpaper from my current home and I think that I am suffering from PTS so I don't think that I would ever wallpaper any room, but a statement jewel colour 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 yes!
Love the individual hand cloth & pretty tray idea! 👍 Will do that. Never considered how gross it might be for others to touch used hand towels. Even though I feel the same way, lol. (I do keep a small open basket of discreetly tucked personal care items on a shelf above the toilet for guest emergencies, for young & old. Including wet wipes. There's nothing more embarrassing than leaving home & suddenly being surprised by "biology". And having to ask your host for supplies.)
It is easy to underestimate the talents of a designer until you are confronted with a blank canvas and 10,000 choices. Producing something beautiful from the chaos of all the available options is truly valuable. Thank you for your advice.
OMG so true David!! 😅 It can be overwhelming sometimes, there's a TON of fun avenues you can go towards in ANY project!! I am glad that these videos can help scale down your options to turn your projects into something you LOVE!!!! 😊🧡🌟🌟
Amazing video as always. I too love decorating a small bathroom!! It’s great cuz you don’t have to break the bank to go all out! Thank again girl!! Love you always!!
Lisa, you are adorable! THE only person on U-tube that I actually look forward to listening when you ask us to like and subscribe! soooooo cute! and, of course, your content is always top notch! 👌
Hey Lisa! Love your channel. I would LOVE to see your take on Steve Martin's apartment on Only Murders In the Building, especially his gorgeous kitchen!
Awww I for one Love pretty guest bathroom’s!! So nice to treat your guests to something amazing and fun! Great tips Lisa ! Sometimes I put a lipstick/fragrance tray.. well certainly before Covid 🙄😂💄 🌺🌹🍁🍂
I’m in love with my little powder room. The decor when my husband and I bought our home was beyond atrocious! They had a massive chain attached to 2 very large(18 inches) lanterns. Not the cute lanterns that we decorate with today, I can’t even describe them, honestly. Just huge and ugly. We tore out everything and a got a cute, narrow vanity (not a pedestal sink😖) and a toilet that works better. I still keep decorating differently, but it’s such a fun little room either way!
I was looking infor on how to design my small powder room and I saw ur video. I got enough good tips to finish my powder room. I enjoy your energy & tips hope you keep those video coming. First time viewer and I’ll already subscribe.
So useful especially as I'm about to renovate my laundry room (which has a toilet as well). I think I can apply similar principles as it's still a small space! I'm loving the disposable napkins idea! Thank you
You're too kind Tammy!!! It was soo much fun diving into powder rooms this week! After making this, I'm feeling inspired myself to go bananas with my powder room!!! 🤩🙌🏼
Funny enough I've been daydreaming about design ideas for the "powder room" - what has caused me a bit of pause is that our "powder room" is a full bath on the 1st floor! I guess I can hide the white shower tiles with a curtain that matches the paint wall color?! 🤔 Thanks for the video Lisa!! As always such a joy!
Maybe coordinates instead of matches? My entire bathroom is gray and white. It's a rental, so I can't change the fixtures or paint. However, I found a pretty shower curtain that is soft, warm colors with bits of the same gray scattered throughout the print. It pulls them together and adds warmth. You could do the same thing in reverse by picking out a really beautiful curtain print (something lux that you love) and the taking it to a paint store to color-match to some element of the pattern.
Ooo how exciting Nereyda!!! 👏🏼 SO happy you are getting some fun inspo for your new remodel!!! If you're interested, we share a TON of design advice and talk projects over in the DezignClub!! You get lots of yummy design inspo as well as talk to ME, the Dezign team, and other design fans everyday!!! Check it out here www.thedezignclub.com !!!! 💕✨😘
I have little clear acrylic jars with lids on them to hold mouthwash and disposable cups, toothpicks, floss, qtips, tampons, liners, alcohol wipes, and perfume samples so people can tiny up
These were fun. I couldn’t think of anything worse than a textured bin in the powder room though, people are grotty and that stuff isn’t an easy wipe down.
Great tips! Thanks as always. During COVID, once in-home visits were allowed, we switched to a basket of facecloths (folded in quarters, they fit in a basket that used to hold our napkins). We added a wicker basket--that's obviously not a garbage can--to hold the used cloths. (PS; I'm subscribed!)
Hi lisa.. a off topic question. What was your advice on mixing medals in the kitchen? Rose gold handels on the appliances in matte white. Brushed nickle handels on white cabinets. What was your advice on how many metals you can mix. cant find it... thank you..
Patty!! Have fun mixing metals in your kitchen, but no more than two types!! 👍🏼 I got more metal info in the "What IS your Kitchen Style saying!?" video 😘
Great video Lisa! In the house we're building the 2nd bathroom is also for guests, so it will have a shower (no tub) and so it's kind of a quasi-public space too because it's the powder room as well. as it is off of the main living space I like the idea of a focal point and what I may do is great that by putting a decorative film on the window which is directly opposite the entry door. This window has the back yard deck right outside it (privacy will matter) and I'm thinking a decorative film (maybe gradient grass pattern in white) will add privacy and a focal point at the same time.
You're absolutely right! I adore the partially a pig films, they look amazing on showers, and give you just the right amount of privacy with style! xoxoxo L
Omg! You nailed it ! No hand towels please. I never touched those cute towels and mine has a box of tissue paper , but I love your idea of staking paper towels 👍🏻
I fold & stack the good quality paper towels into a little acrylic box. It keeps them dry from sink splashes and everyone can easily see what's inside. I also keep a few hand towels for people who are super sensitive about waste & the environment. I just tell them that some people are squeamish about re-using towels and I want them to feel comfortable, too.
I agree with the wet hand towel in a powder room! Yuck and ick! I use white washcloths in my own home (no powder room there, but one of those bathrooms that are ensuite AND common bathroom)!! You are brilliant!! This townhouse was built in 1999 and it's a bit weird here and there. I love the idea of a tray with small towels. So chic. Lisa - hubs and I are probably going to start building our new house in spring 2022 and I love all these powder room ideas!! I'll actually have one!! Excited Lisa-style as you can see! xxoo
YAY Deborah!!! You're already a member of the club, right? That's the best thing to do once you have a project, is to get into the club and get some major inspo happening! xlxlxl L
Fun😊..I painted clouds on a blue ceiling. And a faux mosaic multi tonal teal wave above the white tile already halfway up the wall. Added a stainless paper towel holder above the sink below the mirror cabinet. I like the lided waste basket idea
I haven't found a good tray yet since the only spot to put them is on my toilet and they can fall off fairly easily. So now I just have one towel but I replace it right before a guest walks in the door so it's fresh and clean for them
Mariia!!! OMG you are tooo sweet, thank you so much for this kind comment!!! 😍 SO happy you are enjoying these videos, it means so much to me getting these comments!! 😘💕❤️
This was great! I hadn't thought about the stack of towels vs single towel. I can't see it working in my space, however, because we just have the single bathroom with tub/shower, elongated toilet, and 24x24 sink with just enough space for the door to swing open 😅. It's hard enough right now to fit a small garbage can plus stool and potty seat for my kids (need to get a fold-up stool...). Our medicine cabinet mirror is falling apart and I would LOVE to replace it with a sink-to-ceiling mirror instead, but need to figure out a better option for storing toiletries. Seeing the fabulous wallpapers is making me reconsider just going with plain white paint, and now I'm pondering some kind of stencil pattern 🤔 using colours that correspond with the tiles on the floor and shower area. So many possibilities!
Hi Lisa, Such a wonderful video! Thank you!! After having my wallpaper around my toilet in my previous powder room destroyed by toilet bowl cleaner splashed during vigorous cleaning - something to watch for - I decided to install tile on all four walls as wainscoting. Another trick: if you have a sound system, install a speaker in your powder room. It’s…ah…reassuring for guests!
@@LisaHoltDesign what is your view about wall paper immediately next to a hand basin. I am concerned about damage as my daughter who is 10 will be using the room day to day, I’m thinking I will need to tile or panel to waincoating level in protect against wear and tear.
Hi Lisa! I don’t really have a surface for paper towels, but I can understand that being comforting for germaphobes. Also, I can’t do scented products because I have very strong scent sensitivities. I’ve tried essential oils but they just seem to slap you in the face with the smell, even with diffusers. I wonder if there’s some way to just add one drop of an essential oil to a candle or paper or something. I’ll have to think of that. Thanks for the tips, as always! 💜
Small plug in UV air purifiers (the size of a night light) are sold on line. I have one in the bathroom and it is Fantastic! I will not name the major brand, just do a search, it will come up. I love not constantly spraying, hoping, and praying.
Hey Jon, you're soooo not alone! Any number of my clients have scent sensitivities, I have tried the single drop inside the role of the toilet paper myself, and found it worked really well. If that can work for your powder configuration, Then that's a great little solution! Mwah!!!
Some great ideas Lisa! I especially like the washcloth one. So many of these vanities do not have storage. How do you address where to store you’re extra TP, feminine products, etc? My powder room is 48x52”!
Hi Donna, My powder room is about the same size as yours! I have a satin brass washstand, so I have my extra toilet rolls in a satin brass, woven basket on the floor under it. If you want to be discrete, you could use a straw basket with a lid to store the products you mention. You can be sure your guests will find them, if they need them!
Lisa, I don’t HAVE a powder room!! The builder put in a (small) full bath right off the entry and next to our study. Presumably allowing the study to be used as a bedroom if necessary. I have decorated the bathroom as much as possible like a powder room though: fancy mirror, sconces, wallpaper, etc. What I have done is picked a shower curtain that pulls from the color on the wallpaper and I keep it fully extended so guests don’t actually see the tub area, but it is open above the shower curtain. However I need to make some surface changes like a new tile floor and a larger commode. Can you think of a better solution that could be executed when I have new flooring done? Maybe have the contractor create a partial wall above shower curtain to close off bathtub area more?
Oh, boy! I have to tear my powder room apart! I don’t even have a cabinet and top. The guy who owned this place, put a small, taller table with a round basin on top. Now I hate it!
Guys!! Time to chat POWDER ROOMS! This one is so funny because it's not a room many people think about... yet, it's SO tough to design and makes a huge first impression on your friends and family!!

Can you add a link to your glasses? they are awesome
Thanks Lisa for teaching us a master design class with each show!
I like to put little bag hooks on the door or wall. I think that they make a difference , because then people always have a place to hang their purse 👜. Super cute and functional for a powder room.
Putting a purse on the counter is not the most sanitary thing to do, what a neat solution to this Alex!! 🙌🏼 PLUS, you can go bananas with the hook design!!! 🤩💛
What a great idea!!!
I like your glasses. Where did you get them?
I always wonder why some public restrooms do not have hooks in the stalls.
@@adc9270 we have hooks in our public restroom stalls here. For purses and/or jackets.
Great tips. I like to have a medicine cabinet with basics, like Tylenol, bandaids/Neosporin, Tampax, etc. for my guests, so they don’t have to be embarrassed by asking for these things. I also have paper towels, in nice metal holders, liquid soap pumps (not soap bars), and visible extra toilet paper in every bathroom.

@@LisaHoltDesign - My DIL has excellent taste! I am always amazed by that young woman. My son is a lucky man to have found a gem like her. ♥️
I'd love to see a video about teeny tiny powder rooms and how to beat address space issues while still having some decor.

Just in time! Thank you for the tip about the spray, and candles. I didn’t think about that part!
Of course Harry!!! Definitely don't want to neglect scents in a bathroom!! 😆😆😆
I knew a pub in Galway where the owner did 'wash cloths' option... a clever/eco touch for a small town pub in Ireland
You never cease to inspire with your tips!
You're too kind Tammy!!! It was soo much fun diving into powder rooms this week! After making this, I'm feeling inspired myself to go bananas with my powder room!!! 🤩🙌🏼
Funny enough I've been daydreaming about design ideas for the "powder room" - what has caused me a bit of pause is that our "powder room" is a full bath on the 1st floor! I guess I can hide the white shower tiles with a curtain that matches the paint wall color?! 🤔
Thanks for the video Lisa!! As always such a joy!
Maybe coordinates instead of matches? My entire bathroom is gray and white. It's a rental, so I can't change the fixtures or paint. However, I found a pretty shower curtain that is soft, warm colors with bits of the same gray scattered throughout the print. It pulls them together and adds warmth. You could do the same thing in reverse by picking out a really beautiful curtain print (something lux that you love) and the taking it to a paint store to color-match to some element of the pattern.
You got that right, Jean, coordinate is the perfect idea!
Thank you both for the suggestions! Taking them into account! :)
Love, love your videos

Excellent ideas 💡
Great job... cant wait for the paint video and your holiday video.
OMG I cannot wait for all the holiday videos coming soon Patty!!! EEK!! 🤩👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
These were fun.
I couldn’t think of anything worse than a textured bin in the powder room though, people are grotty and that stuff isn’t an easy wipe down.
But did you love the HUGE tropical pattern one?!?!? ;) That was for You!!!! :):):) xo L
@@LisaHoltDesign who wouldn’t love a forest to the face? 😆👍 Thanks lovely guts 😊
I absolutely love your videos! Yo are so energetic and cute!
Great tips! Thanks as always. During COVID, once in-home visits were allowed, we switched to a basket of facecloths (folded in quarters, they fit in a basket that used to hold our napkins). We added a wicker basket--that's obviously not a garbage can--to hold the used cloths. (PS; I'm subscribed!)
Candace, That is all just awesome! Thanks soooo much for being a prt of the the FAM!!!
Hi lisa.. a off topic question. What was your advice on mixing medals in the kitchen? Rose gold handels on the appliances in matte white. Brushed nickle handels on white cabinets. What was your advice on how many metals you can mix. cant find it... thank you..
Patty!! Have fun mixing metals in your kitchen, but no more than two types!! 👍🏼 I got more metal info in the "What IS your Kitchen Style saying!?" video 😘
Thanks for responding on this question. Thanks sweetie!!!
love you Lisa💕Greetings from Chicago!
Love these ideas Lisa.
This video was so funny - you made me laugh so hard!
Lots of information, Thank you Lisa!
This was a fun one!
Ooh…hope there is wallpaper!
Great video Lisa! In the house we're building the 2nd bathroom is also for guests, so it will have a shower (no tub) and so it's kind of a quasi-public space too because it's the powder room as well. as it is off of the main living space I like the idea of a focal point and what I may do is great that by putting a decorative film on the window which is directly opposite the entry door. This window has the back yard deck right outside it (privacy will matter) and I'm thinking a decorative film (maybe gradient grass pattern in white) will add privacy and a focal point at the same time.
You're absolutely right! I adore the partially a pig films, they look amazing on showers, and give you just the right amount of privacy with style! xoxoxo L
Omg! You nailed it ! No hand towels please. I never touched those cute towels and mine has a box of tissue paper , but I love your idea of staking paper towels 👍🏻
I fold & stack the good quality paper towels into a little acrylic box. It keeps them dry from sink splashes and everyone can easily see what's inside. I also keep a few hand towels for people who are super sensitive about waste & the environment. I just tell them that some people are squeamish about re-using towels and I want them to feel comfortable, too.
I have always felt weird about using the cutesy towel in the bathroom as well!!! Like do I use it or is it just for looks?!?! LOL!! 😅🤣🤣
Lovely ideas. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you sooo much for tuning in Maria!! So happy you are digging the videos!! 🥰💖✨
I agree with the wet hand towel in a powder room! Yuck and ick! I use white washcloths in my own home (no powder room there, but one of those bathrooms that are ensuite AND common bathroom)!! You are brilliant!! This townhouse was built in 1999 and it's a bit weird here and there. I love the idea of a tray with small towels. So chic. Lisa - hubs and I are probably going to start building our new house in spring 2022 and I love all these powder room ideas!! I'll actually have one!! Excited Lisa-style as you can see! xxoo
YAY Deborah!!! You're already a member of the club, right? That's the best thing to do once you have a project, is to get into the club and get some major inspo happening! xlxlxl L
@@LisaHoltDesign I am a member and I'm loving everything about it. Looking forward to learning more with the club. 😃
Fun😊..I painted clouds on a blue ceiling. And a faux mosaic multi tonal teal wave above the white tile already halfway up the wall. Added a stainless paper towel holder above the sink below the mirror cabinet.
I like the lided waste basket idea
Chris, That is sounding soooo awesome!

❣️Thank you ❣️🌹☺️
Love your energy and great style Lisa.
Thank you so much for watching Maureen!! 😘😘

I haven't found a good tray yet since the only spot to put them is on my toilet and they can fall off fairly easily. So now I just have one towel but I replace it right before a guest walks in the door so it's fresh and clean for them
U r such a gorgeus woman. Thank you for all this great content! LUV
Mariia!!! OMG you are tooo sweet, thank you so much for this kind comment!!! 😍 SO happy you are enjoying these videos, it means so much to me getting these comments!! 😘💕❤️
Thank you for all the excellent content!!!!!
Alwayssss Missi!!! Thank you so much for consuming all this yummy content!!! 🥰😘
Hi, it’s Deb in Dallas. You ARE amaz8ng, Lisa!
Hi Deb!!! 👋🏼 SO glad to see you in the comments again, thank you so much for all the kind words!!! 😁💞
This was great! I hadn't thought about the stack of towels vs single towel. I can't see it working in my space, however, because we just have the single bathroom with tub/shower, elongated toilet, and 24x24 sink with just enough space for the door to swing open 😅. It's hard enough right now to fit a small garbage can plus stool and potty seat for my kids (need to get a fold-up stool...). Our medicine cabinet mirror is falling apart and I would LOVE to replace it with a sink-to-ceiling mirror instead, but need to figure out a better option for storing toiletries. Seeing the fabulous wallpapers is making me reconsider just going with plain white paint, and now I'm pondering some kind of stencil pattern 🤔 using colours that correspond with the tiles on the floor and shower area. So many possibilities!
I just LOVE your ideas 💜🦋
Aww this means SOO much to me Holly!!! 😘 I do my best to give you guys the BEST tips for every design style! Glad you enjoy them!! 🤗💚💚
Hi Lisa thank you so much for the great tips!
Hi Alicia!! SO happy you enjoyed all these fun tips!! 😊💕💕
Love that gold frame!!
Hi Lisa, Such a wonderful video! Thank you!! After having my wallpaper around my toilet in my previous powder room destroyed by toilet bowl cleaner splashed during vigorous cleaning - something to watch for - I decided to install tile on all four walls as wainscoting. Another trick: if you have a sound system, install a speaker in your powder room. It’s…ah…reassuring for guests!
Lois, Wonderful suggestion about the music!!!!:):):)
@@LisaHoltDesign what is your view about wall paper immediately next to a hand basin. I am concerned about damage as my daughter who is 10 will be using the room day to day, I’m thinking I will need to tile or panel to waincoating level in protect against wear and tear.
Hi Lisa! I don’t really have a surface for paper towels, but I can understand that being comforting for germaphobes.
Also, I can’t do scented products because I have very strong scent sensitivities. I’ve tried essential oils but they just seem to slap you in the face with the smell, even with diffusers. I wonder if there’s some way to just add one drop of an essential oil to a candle or paper or something. I’ll have to think of that.
Thanks for the tips, as always! 💜
A few drops of baby oil inside the cardboard TP
Small plug in UV air purifiers (the size of a night light) are sold on line. I have one in the bathroom and it is Fantastic! I will not name the major brand, just do a search, it will come up. I love not constantly spraying, hoping, and praying.
Hey Jon, you're soooo not alone! Any number of my clients have scent sensitivities, I have tried the single drop inside the role of the toilet paper myself, and found it worked really well. If that can work for your powder configuration, Then that's a great little solution! Mwah!!!
@@adc9270 I had no idea those existed! Thanks for the tip! 😀
@@JonathonV NP!
Some great ideas Lisa! I especially like the washcloth one. So many of these vanities do not have storage. How do you address where to store you’re extra TP, feminine products, etc? My powder room is 48x52”!
Hi Donna, My powder room is about the same size as yours! I have a satin brass washstand, so I have my extra toilet rolls in a satin brass, woven basket on the floor under it. If you want to be discrete, you could use a straw basket with a lid to store the products you mention. You can be sure your guests will find them, if they need them!
Totally, Lois! Yes, Donna, find a way to store a few items in a decorative holder, and you're good to go!
Lisa, I don’t HAVE a powder room!! The builder put in a (small) full bath right off the entry and next to our study. Presumably allowing the study to be used as a bedroom if necessary. I have decorated the bathroom as much as possible like a powder room though: fancy mirror, sconces, wallpaper, etc. What I have done is picked a shower curtain that pulls from the color on the wallpaper and I keep it fully extended so guests don’t actually see the tub area, but it is open above the shower curtain. However I need to make some surface changes like a new tile floor and a larger commode. Can you think of a better solution that could be executed when I have new flooring done? Maybe have the contractor create a partial wall above shower curtain to close off bathtub area more?
Love it! Great tips
Yayyy Glad it was helpful Gaudy!! 😊 Thank you so much for watching!!! 💖💖
I’m in love with that green marlblized wallpaper! Where can I buy it???
Oh, boy! I have to tear my powder room apart! I don’t even have a cabinet and top. The guy who owned this place, put a small, taller table with a round basin on top. Now I hate it!
