Stunning Powder Room Ideas with Modern Charm
Add style, personality, and function to a small bathroom or powder room with these ideas for decor & feature.
Our small townhouse powder room has needed a makeover refresh since the day we moved in.
Here it is, 5 years later, and we’re finally getting at it! (Isn’t that how it goes sometimes?)
The start of any room makeover project at our house always begins with seeking out inspiration and ideas.
I’ve been collecting small powder room ideas for years.
Here are some of the main ones that have helped us narrow down decisions for our own powder room makeover.
Small Powder Room Ideas Packed with Personality & Charm
Powder Room Design Ideas with Wall Treatments
Since powder rooms are a small space & room in your home, it is a great place to have a little fun with great impact. Experiment with an accent wall, color scheme, or design elements.
These powder room design ideas utilize creative wall treatments to add texture, dimension, interest, and style - making a big statement without minimizing the space.

I'll admit, as we began our powder room makeover, this powder room makeover story by Blesser House was the one I referred to over and over again. I love the beautiful vertical shiplap treatment on the walls, along with the color palette and mix of natural wood, metal, soft textures, and updated mirror. It's a winner in my books!
How To: Modern Board and Batten Powder Room
Board and batten is a process of adding verical boards to a wall to create the look of wide and narrow planks. In a small powder room, it can add interest and style, and also make the room appear taller!

Although the Modern Farmhouse powder rooms often have black and white as their main colors, I just love that a painted vanity can add in a little pop of color. It can also be a great place for small bathroom storage!
Powder Room Wallpaper Ideas for the Modern Farmhouse Look
When I started researching powder rooms in earnest, one thing that stood out to me was the WALLPAPERS! It is definitely making a big comeback, and I love seeing it in so many spaces. Wallpaper can add some much interest and excitement to a small powder room - and can make it feel like the inside of an exciting jewelry box! Here are a few of my favorites.

What is “Modern Farmhouse Style”?
Like I’ve mentioned before, determining your decor style can seem like a daunting task! In fact, I put together a list of 6 questions to ask to help discover your decor style. Honestly, though, I don’t think it’s necessary to have all the nitty gritty nailed down to still create a home with rooms that you love to spend time in.
However, I’ve done some research for myself and discovered that I’m drawn to spaces that are labeled “modern farmhouse style” and “boho style“. I just mixed the two together to make my own style!;) It’s a combination of vintage, cozy, and contemperary with a mix of textures – like wood and galvenized metal.
But, as you’ll notice in the inspiration pictures above, you’ll find modern farmhouse boho mixed with other elements like traditional and cottagecore.
