A small powder room at a bachelor pad will get full of fashionable masculine model in a monochromatic navy blue colour scheme.
It’s at all times an excellent day for a SURPRISE rest room rework! Really, I take that again as a result of this rest room rework I designed for a pal occurred because of an unexpected water leak very similar to we had in our personal rest room rework final 12 months.
So possibly shock remodels truly aren’t tremendous nice in any case. However the finish result’s fairly bomb when it seems like this…
The Bachelor Pad Powder Room Earlier than & After
That is certainly one of our greatest buddies Wes who had no thought I’d be blasting his image in a earlier than shot for roughly half 1,000,000 individuals on the web to see. (Sorry, Wes. Haha!)
How one can Make a Small Powder Room Look Larger
Wes has a reasonably candy bachelor pad in uptown Charlotte, so I had enjoyable stepping out of my consolation zone to drag collectively a monochromatic navy blue fashionable look on this very small powder room underneath his stairs.
Final fall, whereas he needed to work away from home for a couple of months, we helped oversee the surprising rework of his powder room that the contractors just lately wrapped up.
It’s completely minuscule, and to be trustworthy, it’s wonderful I used to be in a position to squeeze a digital camera in right here to {photograph} it.
However I pulled out as many design methods as I may to assist this house really feel a little bit bit larger.
Initially although, try that absolutely rad purple rest room and people sponge painted partitions. Snazzy stuff.
1. Paint Trim and Partitions the Similar Shade and Sheen
Keep in mind again after we painted our neighbors’ small bed room for his or her teen ladies all one colour to make it look larger?
We did the identical in right here. I might even go so far as to color the ceiling the identical colour too, should you’re feeling courageous. (I want I’d had the ceiling painted navy blue right here in hindsight.)
2. Select Satin or Semi Gloss Sheen
By utilizing a paint sheen that has extra shine, it can assist bounce mild on the partitions and provides the phantasm of a bigger house. We used satin sheen.
Satin or semi gloss paint is very good in loos significantly as a result of it’s extra proof against water stains and moisture. It’s simpler to wipe clear than eggshell or flat sheen paint.
3. Use Gloss Tile as a Focal Wall
In the identical idea as utilizing a shinier paint sheen, gloss tile helps bounce mild to create the phantasm of including house to a small powder room.
Including a wall of tile attracts the attention upward in order that ceilings appear taller as properly. I really like how this linear stacked tile creates edginess that feels extra masculine properly fitted to a bachelor pad.
4. Select Mild Coloured Flooring
By utilizing white or mild coloured tile flooring, it offers the room an open ethereal feeling and bounces mild from the ground so as to add visible house.
I selected this weathered patterned tile to assist cover any grime or grime sooner or later requiring much less upkeep in a bachelor pad. As a result of the tile already appears worn and classic, grime simply blends in with the tile design.
5. Use Darkish Paint Colours to Add Area in a Small Powder Room
Opposite to standard perception, you don’t have to color a small room white to make it really feel larger.
In a darkish, windowless room, portray it a darkish colour like black or navy blue will create depth. It is because darkish paint colours are inclined to recede offering the phantasm that the wall is additional away from you than it truly is.
We used the colour Benjamin Moore Polo Blue right here.
6. Dangle Attention-grabbing Artwork to Carry the Masculine Bachelor Pad Vibe
I completely hung up a black and white print of The Huge Lebowski as a result of why not? It is a bachelor pad in any case, and “The Dude” is the final word bachelor, after all. 😉
On the other wall, we added classic Military soccer prints since Wes is an Military vet and soccer performs a giant function at his condominium.
Somewhat artwork goes a good distance so as to add curiosity to partitions and make a giant assertion.
The contractors took my design and made it occur, so Robert and I can’t take credit score for any of the particular work. However to see the temper boards I delivered for the mission come to life earlier than our eyes was actually enjoyable.
Who is aware of? Possibly at some point I may design a complete fashionable city loft utterly totally different from our personal home’s model since we’re proper close to town. Including that one to the bucket checklist anyway.
