A powder room that can be also named a guest toilet or bathroom is a functional space with just a sink, a toilet and usually a mirror. But even though this space is small to tiny, it introduces the style of your home to your guests, that’s why its look is important, too. Let’s find out how to style a contemporary or minimalist powder room, and first of all, a bit of information about these styles.
What Are Features Of Contemporary Style?
Neutral shades are the cornerstone of contemporary style. If you stick to mixing neutrals, it’s a good idea to include lots of texture in your design. Forms or shapes are one of the foundational elements of contemporary design. The most popular idea here is curved shapes that also happen to be one of the hottest home decor trends.
What Are Features Of Minimalist Style?
A monochromatic color scheme consisting of whites, beiges and greys is typical of minimalist-designed spaces. Flat, smooth surfaces and strong, clean lines create bold statements that emphasize the essential nature of each item. When designing a minimalist space, prefer a color palette with two-three colors, no stark contrasts and try layering the same color in different textured pieces. Decluttering is a must for a minimalist space, it should look clean and clear, so if you have something excessive, just donate them or throw them away.

How To Style A Contemporary Or Minimalist Powder Room?
What these two styles have in common is a color palette – soft neutrals without stark contrasts will be the best choice. Skip whimsy wallpaper and go for large scale stone tiles or just sleek panels. Choose simple and neutral appliances and perhaps some black fixtures for a dramatic touch. The mirror can give a catchy touch to the powder room, it can be curved, long and narrow or take a whole wall. Add built-in lights and a single bold pendant lamp.
