Powder room essentials and how to elevate any bathroom into a stylish and inviting retreat.

LIGHTNESS OF BEING

Lighting is key to creating the perfect mood. Install sculptural sconces on either side of the mirror for balanced, flattering light, complemented by an ambient ceiling fixture. Dimmers let guests adjust the glow to their preference, making each visit feel both personalized and luxurious. After all, we want every guest to look and feel their absolute best.

GO WITH THE FLOW

Consider a wall-mounted or waterfall faucet that gives the room a refined, custom look. Mixing finishes, like matte black or brushed brass, with traditional chrome adds depth, while an unusual faucet shape gives a modern twist.

WELL HUNG

A mirror should be more than functional—it’s an opportunity for art. Choose a mirror with an unconventional shape or an avant-garde frame in tile, plaster, or leather, creating a striking focal point that infuses the room with exclusive artistry. For added drama and to visually expand the space, consider adding mirrors above the datum line on all four walls, enveloping the room in reflections that amplify depth and allure.

KEEP IT REAL

Natural, luxurious materials like honed marble, rich woods, textured plasters, and brushed metals instantly elevate a powder room. Opt for warm wood and metal finishes in nickel and bronze to create an evocative, timeless ambiance. These details add a layer of indulgence that guests will love.

DUAL PURPOSE

A sculptural chair in a powder room blends function and style, providing a place to set a handbag or jacket while adding an artful element to the space. Whether crafted in marble, timber or metal, the chair’s unique form introduces texture and a sculptural element, enhancing the room’s curated vibe with a thoughtful, practical touch.

MAKE SCENTS

A well-chosen candle in a powder room offers more than fragrance—it casts a warm, intimate glow that feels both inviting and sensual. Scents like bergamot, sandalwood, or amber create a sophisticated aroma, while a beautifully crafted fragrance bottle adds a nuanced sophistication and serves as a refined source of scent. Together, the candle’s flickering light and the fragrance bottle make the space feel luxurious and alluring.

SOUND ON

Elevate the atmosphere with background music. Soft jazz, classical undertones, or ambient soundscapes can transform the powder room into a private sanctuary. A curated playlist adds sophistication, showing guests that every sensory detail has been thoughtfully considered.

SOAP OPERA

Hand soap and lotion can be both functional and beautiful. Choose an artisanal bar soap in a marble dish for a vintage feel or go modern with liquid soap in a sleek dispenser. Adding a matching lotion invites guests to enjoy a small luxury as they refresh.

IN GOOD HANDS

Luxurious hand towels make a significant impact. Opt for artisanal tip towels in soft linens, embroidered or monogrammed for an added touch. Displayed on a brass bar or a marble tray, they offer guests a tactile moment of indulgence.

OBJECTS MATTER

A tray in marble, bronze, or crystal organizes essentials and adds a curated vibe. Use it to display items like a sculptural soap dish, small candle, or fragrance bottle, turning the room into a gallery-like space that feels personalized and refined.

ALWAYS IN SEASON

Bring life into the powder room with fresh greenery, such as a single stem of a a flower, eucalyptus sprig, or small fern. These natural elements add a touch of tranquility, grounding the space and creating a subtle connection to the outdoors.
