Powder Room Mirror? Wallpaper?

5 years ago

last modified: 5 years ago

Hi All,

This is my small powder room. I need a mirror over the 24" vanity, and maybe a light fixture over the mirror. What do you think of this mirror? Any suggestions for a fixture above it? Or since the wall is so small, should I mirror the whole wall? I don't really like that look if I can get a pretty mirror instead.

And what do you think about wallpaper for the upper walls? I don't even like birds, but I wanted some color. Do these work or is this all too busy?

Thank you!

Paper with a smaller repeating pattern might be better with several items to cut and place correctly -- but this is pretty / also in aqua, etc... https://www.houzz.com/photos/rockport-beach-house-beach-style-bathroom-new-york-phvw-vp~15910638

Not everyone can afford "mistakes"! You can only have so many stars in a room, or all will beg for attention . If you love your flooring, faucet , mirror and light!? Paint the walls a glossy deep gray! Go buy some oversized / peony art for the wall! There are MANY ways to make a beautiful powder room, and infinite ways to combine too many elements taken out of their context....... And cry real $$$$.

I’d look for a smaller, better proportioned mirror and a rectangle shape would better suit your sink. Tape out proportions before purchasing. Now you have room for waterproof sticker tiles, adding one or two strips across sink. The least money/effort, but solves water issue and creates a ”look” which you can expand on. https://wood-insider.com/a/s/products/tile-stickers-dutch-antique-24pc-6x6in-peel-and-stick-for-kitchen-and-bath-bw002-6-24pcs Add new art over toilet for more impact and to feel better coordinated. Don’t forget lux towels for your guests.

I like the palm branch wallpaper since it's a room off the lanai, and would use it on all the walls as it's a big pattern. Add texture, wall art and plants for some interest in the room. I love the plant on the stool in your pic showing the wallpaper. You could have something similar sitting to the right of your vanity.

I would definitely do an entire mirror on that wall, but I would put a frame around it to make it look more custom. I LOVE the top bird paper but I think it isn't exactly the right match with your flooring. However, wallpaper would be super in that room. I'm just not sure what.

Love the mirror, but a squared one might work best. As far as the wallpaper goes, adore the first selection, I've recently had a thing for flamingo wallpaper.

I'd go with a pretty mirror centered over the sink. Since it's a powder room, you don't really need a full wall mirror. I like the one you're considering, but not sure the size is right. Also love wallpaper in a powder room and really like the first paper with the hummingbirds, but if you don't like birds then you shouldn't have them on your walls. Keep looking for something that strongly appeals to you; it's definitely out there, as wallpaper choices seem to be practically inexhaustible.

You could use a pretty square shape framed mirror or a mirror framed mirror.

You could also see how a hexagon shape mirror looks with you hexagon floor tile.
