Powder room wall decor – how to choose wallpaper for a powder room? |

Beautiful powder room wall decor can turn a small space into a special one. 

Powder rooms – the British cloakroom – may be small but they can still pack a decorative punch. Color and pattern can make these ground floor rooms spaces both family and guests can appreciate.

When it comes to bathroom ideas for your family, you might hold back on using wallpaper where it might be splashed. But there’s no reason not to introduce it in a powder room to turn what could be an anonymous area into one with style.

Powder room wall decor

Powder room wall decor needs to be chosen in conjunction with other elements of the room – it’s not just pattern that can dress up one of these spaces: other powder room ideas, such as vivid or dramatic wall colors, rich finishes, and fabulous furniture and accessories can all be part of the picture to match to your wallpaper ideas.

1. Evoke organic beauty

The Swirls wallpaper by Robert Crowder in this 1928 Tudor home in California designed by Anyon Design has the appeal of extravagantly veined natural stone and mesmerizing effect. 

‘I loved how the powder room turned out,’ says Lindsay Anyon Brier. 

The room’s other elements pick up shades from the wallpaper, giving the space a cocooning atmosphere. 

‘We restored an Asian chest and lacquered a pagoda-style mirror in a dark green. The brass fixtures by Waterworks really complete the look,’ she says. 

2. Create a color surprise

London-based interior designers Salvesen Graham 's cloakroom ideas include adding a pop of color with a dynamic Beata Heuman wallpaper .  

Take a leaf out of the design practice’s book by introducing a contrast in style as well. This contemporary wallpaper idea strikes a different note to the room’s more traditional elements, such as the radiator, to make the scheme even more arresting.

3. Stay fresh

An organic stripe creates impact in the powder room of this home overlooking the San Francisco Bay designed by Nest Design Co . 

Choosing a wallpaper with a white ground like this one is a great option to take in order to make a very small bathroom feel airy and bright without compromising on the scheme’s boldness.

The vertical stripe wallpaper design adds height to the room, too, leading the eye upwards to a ceiling that reflects light to further space-stretching effect.

4. Opt for distinct style

While this home in Carmel, Indiana, was give a modern monochrome update when the homeowners’ five children had flown the nest, interior designer Whittney Parkinson of Indianapolis-based Whittney Parkinson , changed the palette and the mood with this interior.

‘For the powder room we wanted to throw the rule book out of the window,’ she says. ‘This space is all about fun and frivolity. The Cole & Son wallpaper is an inspired addition that we think fits this space perfectly.’

5. Bring it to life

Jungle Birds wallpaper from Hamilton Weston has a vibrant presence in this powder room design by UK design practice Sims Hilditch . 

The motif is perfectly scaled for the small room, allowing the details of birds, butterflies, branches and even spiders’ webs to be appreciated.

If you’re concerned about scuffs, there are a range of paneling ideas for walls to choose from. Using the strategy of paneling to dado height, as shown here, is a great solution, creating a hard-wearing finish.

6. Add drama

Deeply veined marble in a warm burgundy shade on the floor, along with tactile wallpaper, make this powder room in interior designer Elnaz Namaki’ s apartment a masterclass in going bold.

‘I wanted to have fun – compact spaces are ideal for experimenting with all-out glamor,’ she says. 

Follow Elnaz’s lead by swapping white sanitaryware for alternative shades. Here, it’s a black WC, along with a delicate plaster pink basin. The mirror’s a showstopper from the 1950s with a lit frame. 

7. Go for glamor

This powder room by Vani Sayeed Studios is as visually striking as the rest of the New England home. Intricate pattern and bold colors give it both glamor and a sense of playfulness, but they’re combined with classic furnishings and white sanitaryware as a cozy and grounding counterpoint.

8. Choose a biophilic theme

The powder room of this colorful San Jose home designed by Carmit Oron is brought to life by the exuberance of the wallpaper.

'Despite its size, this room was a glorious opportunity to utilise color and pattern with added playfulness,' says Carmit.  

'I began designing it with a rather cool Beverly Hills Hotel wallpaper in mind – one that showcases lush, oversized greenery. I was delighted when my clients gave me the green light on this particular design element. 

'To tone down the grandiose wallpaper, I used horizontal shiplap for wainscoting on the bottom half of the walls, and classic herringbone Carrara tile on the floor.'

9. Create intrigue with a map

If you've seen a little too much blue and want to try a different color, stick with subtle, powdery shades for powder rooms – as the name suggests. 

David Shell, Founder and CEO of a home design and construction publication TradesmenCosts, recommends taking inspiration from pink and gray bathrooms for powder rooms. 

'Gray is a great choice because it pairs up with almost every other shade and is easy to clean. Make sure to use contrasting shade/s on your floor and ceiling.

'Pink has more of a dramatic impact,' he says, and 'will make anyone feel prettier than ever'.  

Marjorie Tornatore , a licensed real estate salesperson for Douglas Elliman, is also betting on gray as a great value-adding choice for powder rooms, especially warm dove gray shades that will 'make spaces appear larger and brighter'. 

10. Bored of pastels? Try a jewel tone

If pastels just aren't your thing, however, there are some beautiful powder room wall decor ideas and bright colors, as shown above, that will work. 

The best color to try is a deep, jewel-toned green: there is just something classic about a deep, heavy green in a smaller bathroom which makes it work.

11. Combine traditional prints with bold paint colors

(Image credit: Douglas Gibb)

If you want to give traditional style wallpaper a contemporary twist, picking out the brightest of the accent colors in the design to paint wainscotting with is a characterful powder room wall decor idea. Here, the character is given a further boost with the use of period-style furniture housing a bathroom basin.

12. Pick practical panelling in a family space

(Image credit: Future)

The cloakroom idea above is fabulous for families. Knock- and splash-proof, panelling is tough and durable, but also adds texture and character. Which color to paint wainscotting?

Real estate agent Chuck Vander Stelt, founder of website Quadwalls says: 'Light blue is always a winner for kitchens and powder rooms. Light blue is subtle, crisp, and clean. Also important is the versatility of blue. Blue easily matches with many other colors commonly found in powder rooms.'

So, think a light blue combined with chic copper fixtures, for example, for an elegant and classic look. Charles McMillan, founder of Stand With Main Street , agrees: 'In a tiny bathroom, a soft and airy blue provides a sense of tranquility to any area and produces a pleasant, spa-like feeling.'

13. Pick a bold, fun theme

(Image credit: Studio Indigo)

A powder room is a space to have fun with your wall decor, so why not choose a wallpaper that you'd never dream of hanging in a larger space, in bold colors or with a striking design. This one, designed by Studio Indigo , is reflected in a large wall-hung, frameless mirror, and enhanced by gold light fittings.

What is a good color for a small powder room?

A soft light blue is, in our opinion, the best color for a small powder room. It is the color most likely to add to your home's value, it reflects light, looks clean, promotes a spa-like feel and enhances space.  Eric Nerhood of Southern California's Premier Property Buyers helps with the numbers: $5,400 is the extra price buyers will be prepared for for a beautiful blue or periwinkle powder room. 

The colors to avoid in a powder room

Although powder rooms are safer for experimentation than other rooms due to their small size, there are a few colors that won't do your home value any favors. Eric Nerhood recommends avoiding a plain off-white powder room – it can decrease the value of your home by approximately $4,000.

The other extreme – overly dark and dramatic colors – is also to be avoided if you are trying to sell your home, according to Vander Stelt: 

'Avoid yellow, red, purple, and browns in powder rooms.  These colors in these areas are not as appealing to homebuyers. A homebuyer who right away thinks he or she will be doing work to the home will offer the seller less for the home.' 

Marjorie Tornatore also urges homeowners to avoid on-trend bathroom color ideas, 'such as orange, because they tend to go out of style and lose value over a short period of time'.

So, keep a powder room soft and light, but don't settle for white.

28 bathroom wallpaper ideas to inspire you to be bold - MAD MAISON

From classic prints to modern interpretations, hidden backdrops and vibrant colors.

Wallpaper is the best way to transform a room, as it doesn't take up valuable space but adds instant style. This makes wallpaper especially suitable for the bathroom, where space is usually limited and functionality is absolutely essential (probably more so than in other rooms in the house, with the exception of the kitchen). And you don't need a lot of natural light to look good, so wallpaper can brighten up even a dimly lit or dull bathroom. For inspiration, read these twenty-eight fearless and fun bathroom wallpaper ideas and design tips.

1/28

Serene and romantic

Light wallpaper, like in this bathroom, designed by Studio DB, makes it look very sweet and airy. A contemporary mirror above the sink and a contemporary pale pink lamp create the perfect combination of elegance and style. For a similar look, try neutral and whimsical (yet understated) wallpapers, then add modern touches and expensive materials to give character to the interior.

2/28

Monochrome Clouds

Designed by Arent & Pyke, this bathroom is the quintessence of a monochrome bathroom dream. Black painted wood floors, black metal railings and a simple black square mirror all make the space feel utterly modern, while the Victorian ceiling moldings give it an absolute classic feel. Gorgeous monochromatic cloud print wallpaper brings them together perfectly.

3/28

Painting inspiration

“We wanted to preserve the architectural heritage while updating it with our new approach,” say the designers at 2LG Studio. An easy way to achieve this goal in the restroom? Paint-splatter-inspired wallpaper pattern that complements and contrasts classic Mediterranean-style tiles. This, along with the mirror, gives this small bathroom a modern look.

4/28

Quirky and classic

We love the combination of styles in this bathroom designed by Studio Lifestyle. Whimsical wallpaper, classic mosaic flooring, subway-style tiles and marble, and a contrasting vintage wood chair accent. When decorating a bathroom with wallpaper, you need to consider how well it will resist splashes and moisture. See if you can print your favorite design on vinyl or other substrate that is more water resistant, or just keep water out of the surface.

5/28

Antique style meets elegance

Designed by James Farmer, this powder room tells the story of the house and its owners. Farmer chose to showcase the family's silver trays over floral wallpaper for a personalized decorative style. “It was a ranch-style house that needed to dress up ranch-style,” the designer jokes. "It's all about layers and textures." Farmer also converted a stylish country-style cabinet into a vanity unit.

6/28

Shimmer and cocoon blue

Designed by Studio DB, this powder room proves that modern style can be colorful, whimsical and intense. Swirls of grey, purple, pink and white will grab your attention right away. But we don’t stop there – the flowers on the wallpaper follow the curves of the marble’s veins and its pink hues, while adding a bright splash of color to the interior.

7/28

Removable and optimistic

If you're not ready to take the plunge, choose a removable wallpaper. Designer Regan Baker chose one from Hygge & West to spice up this bathroom without making any major print or color commitments. It's temporary, accessible, and delightfully whimsical.

8/28

Marble Veins

Here's proof that you don't have to completely redo your bathroom to look fresh. Designer Nina Farmer freshened up a retro bathroom with this gorgeous marble effect wallpaper from Robert Crowder & Co. The original wood paneling was painted in Plummet by Farrow & Ball, which complements the wallpaper and gives the bathroom a more formal feel.

9/28

Meaning of the ceiling

Why focus on the walls when you can create an even more amazing style element on the ceiling? From the eye-catching eagle-sculpted washbasin to the blue-brown double-framed mirror, this bathroom by Thom Filicia holds nothing back. “My bathroom is an Animal Planet-style experience,” says the owner. Birds and butterflies flying on the wallpaper on the ceiling create an unexpected light contrast with the seriousness of other design elements.

10/28

Timeless black and white toilet

Draw all eyes to the master bathroom's stunning classic style by framing the perimeter walls with a stunning complementary pattern. In this space designed by Studio Lifestyle, the traditional black and white toilet is contrasted with a striking, geometric and contemporary shower room.

28/11

The Power of Spring Flowers

Designed by Katherine M. Ireland, this powder room is the epitome of spring. She freshened up the space by covering the walls with wallpaper from her own Greta collection. The slipper chair adds a bright accent that reinforces the floral theme while adding some interesting new colors. If you decide to add wallpaper to a small room, make sure you have adequate ventilation.

28/12

Emotional gradients

Here's how you can make a big statement in a small space. Designed by Space Exploration Design, this powder room helps set the mood. And all this thanks to the form, materials and color. The gradient wallpaper design from Calico's Aurora collection is inspired by the twilight sky. And paired with a sexy marble sink, rose gold fixtures and a modern fixture, frameless mirror, the whole space captures that beautiful, subtle moment of twilight as the light begins to fade.

28/13

Smart storage and character

This small, playful, cheerful and cute bathroom by Elizabeth Roberts Architecture & Design is located in an 1840s Brooklyn mansion. “For the most part, the house has not been renovated and our office has been hired to modernize it while still maintaining and recreating the details and character of the period the house was built,” explains Roberts. "Architectural details were based on the original design and great care was taken to create a new home with a quality historic character throughout."

14/28

Gold finish

Designer Eddie Lee wanted this bathroom to be "a mixture of English charm and Asian luxury, with a touch of European classicism." So he covered the walls with wallpaper from the Gracie chinoiserie collection, a bold move in a high-humidity area. And it was worth the risk. The reason antique panels look good in this bathroom setting is because they are resistant to wear and tear. “They are variegated, so daily changes are not noticeable. In addition, we have added a protective coating to protect against moisture. Wallpaper accentuates the arches, pairs with mahogany shutters and is illuminated by Farrow & Ball's light blue glossy ceiling paint.

15/28

Formal with playful touches

Designed by Celery Kemble, this powder room isn't afraid to be fun. Featuring vibrant color and floral patterns, de Gournay's monkey-print wallpaper brings the whole space to life. The navy blue door frames and brass fittings and sink create a sense of mature sophistication.

16/28

Canvas with a twist

When in doubt, add an accent wall. In this space designed by Regan Baker, the accent wall is covered in a classic pattern for a timeless and carefree vibe. A mixed-style mirror with a small sink, multicolored hand towel and geometric light fixture all add to the overall feel of the washroom.

17/28

Captivating Graphic

This bathroom is an intriguing mix of past, present and future: bold, graphic and contemporary wallpaper from Flat Vernacular, retro pink washbasin, gold swan faucet and contemporary accents. Tip: When wallpapering in a bathroom or high humidity area, use an antifungal paste to prevent mold growth.

18/28

DIY wallpaper

Instead of spending a lot of money on wallpaper, make your own! Give your walls some oomph and treat them like a canvas for your collage project, place old glossy magazine pages, vintage advertisements or posters on them. In this bathroom designed by Leanne Ford Interiors, magazine clippings enhance the vintage look of the wall tiles.

19/28

Scandinavian Flowers

Victorian home in the Hamptons gets its Scandinavian twist thanks to the work of Swedish designer Lilian Hart. She used this wallpaper from Svenkst Tenn in her bathroom for a captivating, bold splash of color. The Roost mirror and freestanding sink give the interior a clean, fresh look.

20/28

History Paper

To make the washroom feel more spacious than it actually is, interior designer Alexander Engle decorated the walls with the homeowner's favorite Audubon prints, then highlighted them by painting the shutters and wall paneling in Inchyra by Audubon. Farrow & Ball.

21/28

Graphic yet classic

The contrast between hyper-realistic, aged photography, classic black and white striped wallpaper and a sparkling chandelier creates a pleasing blend in this space designed by Lynn Ford. She added an accent magazine rack, custom-made linen curtains, a towel ring, and a cabinet to create a cohesive look.

22/28

Garden Bliss

Interior designer Sean Smith's home in New Orleans is a treasure trove of beautiful and smart design solutions. Instead of starting from scratch, he worked with what was already there and unfolded the entire design scheme around retro blue tiles. “This home is a big statement,” says Smith. And that's really true for this modern wallpapered bathroom.

23/28

Subtle and cute

Lovely peach-coloured wallpaper does not hurt the eyes, especially if you choose a classic and light pattern. In this bathroom designed by Amber Interiors, the wallpaper warms up with cool tones and marble, providing a pleasing balance.

24/28

Harsh florals

Modern, photorealistic interpretations of classic designs are popping up everywhere. In this bathroom designed by Studio DB, realistic floral wallpaper both softens and enhances the sharp edges of the bathroom sink.

25/28

Whimsical Scenes

Here's another way to keep wallpaper out of splash range and cut your costs in half. The white tile in this bathroom, designed by Arent & Pyke, keeps it feeling fresh, while the wallpaper adds a bit of personality. “The challenge was to create an airy space filled with color, exquisite pieces and details, vintage elements, but inherently modern,” says the design firm.

26/28

Go Platinum

A floral print on a platinum base can add style to a small space. This master bathroom in a Suzanne Kasler-designed house in coastal South Carolina is proof of that. The walls in this little nook are covered in wallpaper by Tarrantelle Boussac, creating a romantic, dreamy and simply cute look.

27/28

Turtle Mood

Designer Melissa Rufty says "powder rooms are a designer's calling card" and we agree. They have so much potential! And it can be a fun challenge to make things fit together in a small, sometimes oddly shaped space. In this powder room, the green tortoiseshell wallpaper is Celery Kemble's design for the Schumacher brand, while the metal backsplash for the sink was hand-painted with Chinese-inspired scenes by Thomas Opplinger.

28/28

Tropical Fantasy

Designed by Marshall Watson and Kate Reid, this Bahamas retreat combines contemporary family-friendly design with tropical island flair. Designed for Cole & Son by Fornasetti, the wallpaper is playful without being overly informal.
