Fabulous Farmhouse Style Powder Rooms Save Space with Cozy Country Charm

ByMyProperty Life

Apart from your living room, if there are two spaces in your home that make the biggest impression on your guests then they are the entry room and the powder room. One welcomes in guests gleefully while the other allows you to showcase all your decorating skill and taste in interiors with a touch of extravagance. Powder rooms move away from the usual decorating norms. They are a world in themselves with the style, theme and color palette of this tiny space being entirely different from whatever works in every other room of your house. It is a surreal escape that leaves your guests captivated when done right.

There are many different styles that you can choose in the small powder room and even the vivacious, blissful eclectic look looks stunning in here. But f you are someone who loves a bit of old-world charm, presence of wood and its warmth all around and a space that is more organic than it is man-made, then the trendiest choice at the moment is ‘modern farmhouse’ Farmhouse style powder rooms with a touch of modernity are both gorgeous and timeless. They bring together the best of two contrasting worlds and yet everything fits in perfectly. Be it the understated or the ornate, these farmhouse powder rooms will not let you down!

Modernity Still Has its Place

Gone are the days when farmhouse style meant that you need to strictly stick to the classic farmhouse-inspired materials and finishes. This year, you can freely combine modern aesthetics with traditional farmhouse elements to experience a bit of both. Keep the backdrop as neutral as possible with colors such as gray, white or cream on the walls. Then adding layers of farmhouse-themed décor pieces and accessories feels that much easier. It also allows those few special pieces in the small powder room to stand out visually. If paint is not your thing, shoot for a more dramatic look using wallpaper.

Wood Makes a Difference

If there is a certainty in the farmhouse style powder room that is bound to work every single time, then it is the beautiful wooden vanity. The wooden vanity feels like a natural choice in here and depending on the size of the powder room and its overall appeal, you can choose between one that is simple and basic or a vanity that is much more ornate and ‘ageless’. Even if you are not one who loves the wooden vanity with flowery pattern, then use wood as the material for the mirror frame or even just as the vanity countertop. Be it window frames or a complete accent wall in wood, this is a material that always comes up trump in the powder room.

Color, Lighting and More

We already alluded to the fact that it is always easier to create a gorgeous powder room with farmhouse style when the backdrop is clad in neutral and muted colors. Even pastel colors are an option in here. But for those who are daring enough to try out a brighter look, wallpaper in deep blue or hot pink are popular choices that they can try out. Since powder rooms already do not have enough space, sconce lights and pendants are the obvious choice when it comes to lighting. Those blessed enough to have a skylight in the powder room should take full advantage of all the natural light it ushers in.

    Architect: building Lab Our clients were young newlyweds who purchased this property in October, 2015. They were passionate about mid-century designs and all things retro and they had grand visions for their first home. They wanted it to be a standout in the neighborhood where they could entertain family and friends in style. After a thorough whole-house remodel and expansion with structural and foundation upgrades, the homeowners, who welcomed a new member (a baby boy) to the household, are now living in a completely transformed modern beauty with sleek and comfortable interiors and spacious outdoor areas. To Open or Close? We removed some walls and created an open and enlarged kitchen. To allow for maximum connection of the kitchen/dining area to the backyard, an existing post was removed and ceiling joists were extended to connect with a structural fascia. But instead of leaving a vast amount of common areas, we coopted some of those spaces to create an additional guest room/study. The same theme of openness and definition applies to the landscape design: low walls, hardscapes, outdoor kitchen, and fire pit define spaces for cooking, al fresco dining, play, and lounging. A Dining Pod
    In a bold stroke, our clients decided to forgo a formal dining area. Instead, they opted for a glorified eat-in kitchen with custom built benches and live edge waterfall table. This pod continues the strategy of capturing and articulating special areas within a large open concept. It is the core that serves myriad functions such as dining and entertaining, newspaper reading, and possible homework station in the near future. Master Pavilion A House Within A House: Instead of just expanding into the backyard horizontally, the ceiling of the newly created master suite was raised 4’. Since the addition called for reframing and building new foundations, building Lab’s designers made use of the opportunity to rethink the whole concept of this parents’ retreat. By raising the ceiling, and adding a long skylight above the head of the bed, the master bedroom is dramatically infused with natural light. The space feels expansive and tranquil, and this feeling is carried through in the master bath. The simple elegance of the master bath is achieved through both effective space planning and restrained material palettes. Most of the fixtures and cabinetry are installed on one side of this very long room. The walls on both sides are clad with Resysta®, a sustainable material made with recycled rice husks, salt, and mineral oil. The natural wood look of this cladding adds to the spa ambience and the entirely glass end wall creates a dramatic one-point perspective. All white console sink, cabinetry, and a sculptural tub complete the look.
