Risk/Reward

“A recent powder room of ours has a defined modern tropical feel with the terrazzo stone and natural wood veneer wallpaper. The accessories in the space make it pop as well. Powder rooms are an opportunity to have a little more fun and step out of your comfort zone.”

Make it Moody

“In a recent powder room we really pushed the limits by doing textured plaster walls in a deep purple color to tie into the purple veins of the Calacatta Viola marble. Thankfully our client loves purple and was open to pushing the boundaries and the outcome was truly incredible. Clients are typically more willing to go darker and stronger in a powder room space and take chances with wall colors and marbles.”
