Powder room under the stairs
29 Small Yet Cool Under Stair Powder Rooms
If you have a staircase in your home and there’s some space under it, make the use of it! It can be turned into a sitting zone, a reading nook, a wine cellar, a working space, a kids’ play space or even a powder room! I’d like to share some ideas on the latter as a guest toilet is a necessary thing in every home and designing this room on such a small amount of space may be very tricky.
Choose the style and color palette for the space – though it’s pretty small, it should be stylish, too. Such a powder room usually corresponds with the room on the outside and its colors for a cohesive look. Make a door that saves the space – it should be opened to the next room or it can be a sliding one. Go for materials you like – printed wallpaper, wall panels, elegant tiles – as this space won’t be super wet, you can not limit yourself to only tiles or concrete, for example.

Now the main question that is popping up: how to make maximum of a tiny powder room? Choose neutrals or light colors, they will visually expand the space. Think of floating appliances that don’t take any floor space, or go for a very compact vanity with a sink and a small toilet or even try a toilet-sink combo, a popular idea for small spaces. Illuminate the space with several built-in lights or choose wall sconces to again save the space – pendant lamps and floor lamps aren’t for small powder rooms. If there’s a window, keep it, you may go for frosted glass or place some potted plants or artworks but keep the window to let natural light inside. All these tips should help you make the use of your powder room in the best way possible. Get inspired by the ideas we’ve gathered and make your powder room perfect!

24 Powder Rooms And Laundries Under Stairs
A space under the stairs holds a lot of possibilities and enough space for a whole room.
It can be a home office, a play space for your kids, a closet, a wine cellar, a library and much more but the most popular option is making a powder or even a laundry under the stairs. A powder room is very useful if you often have guests, it will be very comfy for them, and it’s also great for kids. As for laundry – there’s often not enough space for separate room and literally no space to hide it, while under stairs space is right what you need. Wanna go for one of these options? Here are some tips and ideas.
Powder Rooms
The first thing you should keep in mind is that the best idea is planning a powder room during the construction stage. Renovations may involve a lot of work, but you can still work on it with the help of an engineer, an architect, or a contractor. As for necessary elements, consider having a pedestal or wall-mounted sink to save some space, and a great idea to save more space is a sink plus toilet combo – you can find lots of them on sale today. Speaking about decor – go for anything you like, there’s no shower or bathtub, so the space won’t get too wet.
A popular idea is rocking bold and dramatic wallpaper, which is in trend, or go fro some geometric tiles. A powder room supposes some privacy, so you’ll need some doors, and the best idea is sliding doors, which will save much space inside and outside.

Better under the stairs
95 9000 When designing a house, many are wondering: what to do with the free space that forms under the stairs.
It is quite difficult to use it to good use, and it is a pity to lose square meters for nothing. What can be done with this space? The space under the stairs is quite suitable for arranging a small toilet or even a bathroom with a shower. Of course, this is not easy to do. Indeed, far from any furniture and not every model of plumbing will fit into a small non-standard space. However, in this article, you can learn how to plan a toilet under the stairs so that it is convenient to use.
To make such a wish come true, you will need not only time and financial investments, but also the availability of suitable conditions. You need to take into account the specifics of the bathroom, as well as the materials from which the house as a whole and the stairs in particular are made.
Under a long flight of stairs, there is enough space to install a toilet bowl and a wash basin
More about what to consider when planning a toilet under the stairs in a wooden house:
- The possibility of equipping the selected space with all communications, namely water supply and sewerage.
- The need for a forced ventilation device.
Ventilating the toilet is easy enough if the stairs run along the outside wall of the house. When locating the stairs inside the house, you will have to consider laying communications under the ceiling or through the second floor.
- Mandatory provision of waterproofing.
And that's not all the important parameters. The selected space must correspond to certain dimensions. The bathroom under the stairs must comply with the following parameters:
Door leaf exterior cladding can blend in with the stair finish
If space does not allow for an outward opening door, sliding and folding options are available. However, they have a significant drawback: such structures do not provide sound insulation and odor protection.
If the selected room does not meet even the minimum recommended dimensions, then modern compact plumbing models will be the way out of the situation.
Interior design and choice of colors
As a rule, the bathroom under the stairs is not large and the visual increase in space becomes a key task of interior design.
This is where light colors come in handy. It is worth sticking to it when choosing all design elements.
The bathroom will appear visually larger if you use light-colored finishing materials
Light is not necessarily white, you can also use shades of beige, pink, yellow, blue, olive and other pastel colors. They reflect light well, and, therefore, visually enlarge spaces, mirror and glossy surfaces.
An original panel of assorted mirror and metallized tiles can be placed above the toilet bowl. Corner mirrors also greatly increase the space. A good idea would be to install a large full-length mirror or the entire length of the wall.
Finishing the toilet
When choosing materials for finishing, it is necessary to take into account that the elements must be small in size. This is especially true for tiles. If you use tiles of different colors, you can make several different areas in the bathroom, which will also help to visually enlarge the space.
Another way to increase the area with tiles is to use an interesting ornament or pattern with an unusual texture on one of the walls.
Finishing a small toilet should help visually increase the space
Walls
If the walls of the room are made of wood, they must be treated with special protective agents to protect against mold and decay. In some cases, the tree can be hidden under tiles or plastic panels, but if these are not provided, stain, varnishes or tinting impregnations can be used.
Only part of the walls around the wash basin can be covered with ceramic tiles
Moisture-resistant materials are used as standard for finishing the bathtub. Which one depends on personal preference. Well suited tiles, plastic panels, moisture-resistant paint and so on.
Moisture-resistant plasterboard is used as a base for wall tiling
Ceiling
Moisture resistance will also be an important requirement for materials for finishing the ceiling.
If the dimensions of the space allow, you can install complex multi-level and figured structures, stretch ceilings, however, if the height of the ceilings is already small, standard painting is quite suitable.
When choosing a ceiling finish, consider the condition of the stairs. It is possible that it will be possible to do with a simple painting of the surfaces
Otherwise, it is easier to hide the steps behind sheet material - drywall or plywood
Floor
Before proceeding with the finishing of the toilet under the stairs, it is necessary to plan how the floor will be waterproofed. When choosing a waterproofing method, it is important to take into account the characteristics of the material from which the floor is made, as well as the characteristics of the type of finishing flooring:0003
- natural wood floors are recommended to be varnished or water-repellent impregnated in several layers;
- for concrete, bitumen-polymer mastic is used, after which a screed is made and tiles or linoleum are laid;
- under the laminate, you can put bitumen-based roll insulation.
Installing a toilet on a wooden floor is a feat if the base is strong enough. In other cases, you will need to add beams under the location of plumbing
Plumbing installation
Due to their small dimensions, the spaces under the stairs make it necessary to look for optimal and compact options for furniture and sanitary ware. Fortunately, the modern market offers many different options that will fit even in limited spaces.
The smaller the room under the stairs, the more carefully you should choose plumbing
Consider some plumbing options that are both functional and fit a small bathroom in size.
If the sink is just for rinsing your hands, take a look at compact mini-washbasins
If necessary, you can choose a model installed above the washing machine
Perhaps the best solution would be a narrow wall-mounted washbasin
Small wall-mounted toilets
You can consider the option of a hanging toilet with installation.
The fact is that such models do not have a visible tank, since it is hidden in the box. Since the space under the lower steps is quite difficult to use, it often remains unused. Just in this place you can install the installation.
Small wall-hung toilet – the perfect solution for a compact toilet
Compact bidets
Bidets are a compact sanitary solution in their own right. Modern models are very functional and ergonomic.
To make the interior of the toilet look beautiful, choose a bidet and a toilet bowl from the same collection. It can replace a bidet, and also be convenient during wet cleaning in the house.
A hygienic shower will come in handy if there is simply no place in the toilet to install a bidet
Furniture for the toilet
In such a small and non-standard room it is quite difficult to select furniture. It is almost impossible to fit full-fledged cabinets or cabinets for storing linen, household supplies and tools, as well as household chemicals.
The way out of the situation can be custom-made furniture sets. These can be narrow cabinets, pencil cases or separately installed hanging cabinets. Hanging furniture not only helps save space, but also make it more spacious.
A space that is modest in size should not be cluttered up with pieces of furniture, one cabinet for a sink and a couple of shelves for small things will be enough
The less hygiene items are in sight (towels, detergents, etc.), the more spacious the room will look.
You can always find space for various open shelves. If an installation box is installed in the room, it (or rather, its horizontal surface) can be used to hide all communications in the cavity: pipes and water supply.
Modest but has everything you need - toilet paper holder, hand wash and towel rack
Accessories
In such a small space, it's hard to talk about additional decor items. However, you always want to add a twist to the interior of the bathroom under the stairs in a private house.
Even if we are talking about a bathroom located under the stairs. In such a space, you can also place various accessories, the main thing is that they are also functional.
The toilet space can be designed in any style, based on which you need to select decorative elements
Consider the most popular options:
- elegant faucets;
- beautiful bathroom screens;
- mirrors with decorative but not bulky frames;
- heated towel rails;
- beautiful door handles;
- stylized laundry baskets;
- stylish waste bin;
- unusual lamps and so on.

Lighting
It is extremely important to install proper lighting. If the lighting system is selected and installed correctly, then thanks to the light, the space will look visually more spacious. To achieve a good effect, it is recommended to install several point light sources that will be located around the entire perimeter of the room.
