I love powder rooms. Because the room isn’t used for long periods of time, homeowners are more willing to take risks — and the reward is high.
I reached out to some of the best designers and builders in Charlotte and asked them to share their favorite powder room projects. They delivered, y’all. Here are 27 gorgeous designs that put the POW in powder room. I’m drooling.

“My powder room, this lively powder features Manuel Canovas Dara wallpaper with vibrantly decorated and colored men on horseback.” — Holly Phillips, The English Room

“We had custom LED panels made for the wall and vanity and backlit this incredible slab of marble to truly show off its natural beauty. The wall mounted faucet and mirror and pendent hanging from the ceiling finished it all off.” — Bryan Gerrard, Gerrard Builders

“This powder room is classic black and white, with the graphic tile on the entire wall behind behind the mirror, and with black and white photography. All punched with brass hardware and accessories. Clean and classic.” — Beth Keim, Lucy and Company

“We wanted to make a huge statement in this tiny powder room. Pulling colors from the house this paper was screaming to be used! Crazy fun as a powder room should be. To add a little weight to it all we changed all the trim to charcoal and finished off with a funky mirror.” — Beth Keim, Lucy and Company

“This client wanted something really fun and different. The paper was just that and being white-on-white it really helped show off all the brass mirrors. As opposed to just the typical one, we did several! Gives you really something to look at.” — Beth Keim, Lucy and Company

“Several feature our Bali Thatched mirror from @shophouseofnomaddesign and a fabulous wallpaper. This is the place to take a risk and is such a fun conversation starter for your guests. If you’re not feeling the wallpaper vibes go with a fun paint and always opt for a fun and playful mirror!” — Kelley Lentini, House of Nomad

“This powder room wallpaper was selected because we incorporated a lot of blues and aquas in our client’s house and we thought that pop of green was fun and different. We custom painted the mirror green to match the wallpaper.” — Melissa Lee, New South Home

“Our client and I selected this wallpaper for their small half-bath in their Dilworth condo. It was love at first sight for both of us and worked perfectly with the rest of the furniture we selected for her home.” — Melissa Lee, New South Home

“This light and fresh floral wallpaper adds interest to this powder bath without being overpowering.” — Cheryl Luckett, Dwell by Cheryl Interiors

“With a client who had an affinity for peacocks, we went bold with a golden large scale peacock patterned paper to make a statement and add punch to her dark and nondescript powder room.” — Cheryl Luckett, Dwell by Cheryl Interiors

“This powder room packs a punch, in the best Southern way. The space is located at the top of an entryway staircase and sets the tone for the home: classic while completely unexpected.” — Charlotte Staton, Charlotte Staton Design

“You should feel transported from the moment you enter a powder room. The butterfly wallpaper and black ceiling give you the illusion of going down the rabbit hole.” — Charlotte Staton, Charlotte Staton Design

I love how the unexpected Salsa by Benjamin Moore wall color makes the art stand out.” — Ariene Bethea, Dressing Room Interiors

“Love this wallpaper. This is how to do floral the modern way. Definitely not for the color-phobic!” — Ashley DeLapp, Ashley DeLapp Interior Design
/2024/01/05/1704496872336.webp)
“This family relocated from California, so we were going for California Modern with this reno. Neutral colors and a mix of textures, but plenty of graphic impact.” — Ashley DeLapp, Ashley DeLapp Interior Design

“This is my personal powder room with wall-mounted faucetry, custom cabinet with shallow flutes and Moroccan inspired wallpaper (from my travels).” — Amy Vermillion, Amy Vermillion Interiors
/2024/01/05/1704496872852.webp)
“This glamorous powder features a custom cabinet with reeded diamond panel (one of my signature details), fabulous Miles Redd wallpaper, and the client’s own antique Louis mirror she found in France.” — Amy Vermillion, Amy Vermillion Interiors

“A modern take on tradition, this powder room is the most beautiful showstopper that marries gorgeous details with fresh simplicity.” — Lily Rosen, Dominique DeLaney Interior Design

“We love when a client isn’t afraid to be a bit bold and playful. The black paint and geometric tile paired with the tongue-in-cheek artwork make this basement powder room delightfully fun.” — Lily Rosen, Dominique DeLaney Interior Design

“This delicate wallpaper was perfect for our client because it made a statement without being too overwhelming or risky. While pink, it’s not overly feminine. The majority of their Kiawah home is filled with gorgeous neutral tones, (which was a bit outside of my comfort zone if you’re familiar with my work!) but we found this paper to make a big statement while still remaining neutral enough to fit the client’s needs.” — Charlotte Lucas, Charlotte Lucas Interior Design
/2024/01/05/1704496873859.webp)
“This is the perfect example of a small space making a big impact! The wallpaper is a clear showstopper but we adore the purple trim just as much. We also retrofitted the antique chest to function as a vanity and we just love how it turned out.” — Charlotte Lucas, Charlotte Lucas Interior Design
