Connecticut in Style: DESIGN FILES

Even though it is the smallest room in your house, the powder room is one of the areas that can have the biggest impact. It is always such a treat to walk into someone’s powder room and be surprised with a bold and beautiful design that is a departure from the rest of the home’s living spaces. Wallpaper is one of the best ways to make your powder room stand out. I love large graphic designs in a small room, and when infused with the right lighting, these small rooms can be among the most stylish and reflect your personality. I think it is one of the best places in your home to take a chance with color and have some fun.

Shop the look. You can get a similar washstand at Waterworks and Klaff’s in Connecticut is a great local resource for bathroom fixtures and lighting. A similar ceiling fixture (see the reflection in the mirror) can be found at Lamp’s Plus. As far as wallpaper, check out Farrow and Ball. For that personal touch, a monogrammed hand towel is a must, Bella Lino has an amazing selection on-line or you can visit The Linen Shop on 21 Elm Street in New Canaan, CT (no website available). This exact venetian-style mirror can be found on Bed, Bath & Beyond. Take a look at how wallpaper can transform a small space into a jewel box.
