When I die, my tombstone should literally read “I Have This Thing With Powder Rooms”. I don’t know why, but powder rooms have always excited me SO much design-wise. They’re like the perfect little hermetically-sealed area to act out all your design whims and fantasies. In our last home in Los Angeles, I did a really fun and energetic technicolor floral wallpaper in our powder room– and I absolutely adored it. In this home, I took my design cues from the tile I picked out for our entryway and mud room– since the powder room is in the same area of the house. In contrast to the technicolor flowers, I was interested this time in creating a more cool, calm, and tonal space with classic and almost masculine detailing. Sort of like the Powder Room version of a clean and sexy cologne. When we bought the home, this powder room looked totally different from that. There were a lot of warm tones and rustic stone– and the shower, lighting, and vanity needed serious updating. I absolutely love how this room turned out, and I can’t wait to see how it may evolve over the years! Scroll down for full design sources.

One of my favorite powder rooms ever! The black walls and tile are perfect ❤️
Thanks, Donna!
I love how the dark walls make that gorgeous window pop! ❤️
The dark accent wall was a last minute addition (I had half a can of extra paint from Kyle’s office design…more on that soon…) and I’m SO glad I did it! Really brings everything together!

I’ve been OBSESSED with cement tiles. I’m for sure getting them when I buy a place. This turned out amazing. So jealous!
I’m also obsessed with them! The great news is they’re really “in” right now so you can find them in a lot of different price points!
This is gorgeous! I love everything about it ? What is the source for the vanity?
TRULY FAB!!! You have such great taste and I love seeing you update this classic home in a fresh way.
I love, love, love this. Your eye for what looks good, classic and yet really fresh never seems to fail you. I don’t suppose you fancy popping over to Scotland to help me with our family living room redesign that is currently driving me nuts do you?
Gorgeous and elegant. To me, it has an Asian design feel! It’s such a clean look, the floor is a focal point and I love how you kept everything else more subdued. I agree, powder rooms are so fun and easily changes w/o a huge expense. Awesome job! ❤️
