If your heart is all aflutter every time you set foot inside a tile and stone gallery, then indulge that fantasy in your powder room. The options and applications are limitless. A graphic pattern of aqua blue, teal and white tiles creates a pixelated effect in this showstopping powder room. The checkered pattern is picked up in the mirror frame to complete the look.

On-Trend Tile

Neutral porcelain tile in large slabs paired with minimalist fixtures and accessories creates a serene look in this West Coast powder room. Designer Peter Wilds says, “I love a natural stone look used in a soft, neutral way that still adds dynamic impact.” Photographer: Janis Nicolay
It Doesn’t Have To Be Colorful To Make An Impact

Terrazzo tile on the walls and sink creates a dizzying impression in this bathroom. By opting for an oversized mirror that stretches across the vanity and toilet, the designer makes the small space look bigger. Photographer: Patrick Biller
Retro Terrazzo

Like art for your walls, wallpaper is probably the easiest and most dramatic way to bring color, pattern or texture to your space. It’s also a great jumping-off point for floor tile or paint hues, so choose it first in the process. A bold black and white print that resembles abstract raindrops delivers a hefty dose of personality in this powder room. The arched trefoil mirror draws the eye upward and expands the room while the brushed nickel sconces and faucet add sparkle. Photographer: Brittany Ambridge, Otto
Wallpaper Wonders

Whimsical

A petite sink with brass hardware plays off striking wallpaper with a large-scale floral motif. By painting the baseboard a shade of green found in the wallpaper, it disappears into the background. A dark wood picture frame was retrofitted as a mirror. Photographer: Donna Griffith
A Space Saving Sink
Designer: Emily Griffin
Beadboard or tongue-and-groove panelling adds another dimension to a room and can lend it a historical or coastal look, depending on how it’s treated. Beautiful green wainscotting looks right at home in this Victorian-era house. Traditionally, wainscotting was added to shield the bottom half of plaster walls from splashes and scuffs. Today, it not only protects the walls but also adds a decorative element, perfect for a layer of bold paint. Source: Angus Fergusson

Even though the marble sink doesn’t line up with the window, the room feels balanced as the toilet, window and basin form a triangular shape that pleases the eye. Photographer: David Tsay, Otto
