Wallpaper for powder room thoughts?
Comments (23)Cindy - thanks for the info, the back of the paper does state it's washable, so hopefully they mean it! Shermann and Andrea - I have my challenges with little boys but this is our powder room, most of their cleanup happens between the basement bathroom or their upstairs bathroom. i can see the light switch being an issue, the paper states it's washable, so hopefully that will help. Treasure - you did not post your room in my other post so now worry. It's gorgeous, I was leaning towards #2 until I saw your room. Wow! thanks nutmegxo and caminnc- The wallpaper looks much more blue on the screen than in real life. In person, it's almost a blue/gray or even a hint of green to it. My house is pretty much a blank slate right now. We painted the foyer and the family room when we first moved in almost 4 years ago. I'm not a fan of the paint colors and will repaint. This mirror is right off the powder room and I love it. Since they are so close in proximity, do they work together ok?...See MoreMonths and months later - my koi wallpaper powder room
Comments (38)kswl - your O&L paper sounds wonderful! there is a really lovely metallic acorn paper in one of the books now. Sigh... I love so many of them. I used a different O&L paper with hummingbirds in my master BR. trailrunner - I would love share more photos, but I will eek them out as I have rooms more ready to show or get feedback on! Would love to see photos of your home as well! debrak - so thrilled that you noticed the way we designed the rail. That was added. I fell in love with a pedestal sink that was too tall for the existing chair rail, but I wanted to keep the rest of the chair rail at the existing height. So my carpenter and I figured this out. Here is a "before" photo. Quite a difference!...See Morewallpaper suggestions for powder room?
Comments (2)Lovely tiles! I like that they cover the back wall. The sink looks great too! Here are some guidelines to think about for a wallpaper: Your tiles are a small scale. So pick a wallpaper that has a medium or large pattern to contrast with the tiles. I would stay away from geometrics, again for contrast. Something with a flowing, natural feel would work well - think florals, branches, or grasses. If your bathroom is headed in a more modern direction, something with abstract swirls possibly. In order to let the tiles stand out, use a wallpaper that’s tonal - as in subtle color variation and very low contrast. You have a lot of leeway in what color you select. Personally, I would use something in varying neutral shades, like cream to taupe. But you could us a paper with a subtle pattern in shades of greens, blues, or reds. Maybe dark grays or near black if you want to get dramatic. Hope that helps! Best of luck....See Moreneed help with powder room accessories and/or paint/wallpaper
Comments (7)How do you feel about going bold and dramatic in the powder room? For instance: https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/rifle-paper-co-peacock-wallpaper?color=001&size=One%20Size&inventoryCountry=US&countryCode=US&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzpnF176b7gIVSODACh1wKQ94EAQYDiABEgIjJfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&type=STANDARD&quantity=1 Or doing a navy background wallpaper with black trim (ignore this wallpaper, just wanted to show the black trim): Something more subtle, but very classic ... William Morris Pimpernel. It would look amazing with black trim: https://www.finestwallpaper.com/store/p5321/Morris_%26_Co_-_Pure_Pimpernel_Wallpaper.html It comes in various colors ...
