Bold Color with Glint

Experts often talk about staying away from bright and bold colors in small spaces. But in the powder room, a dashing color can be your friend. You obviously need to couple it with the right decorating style and this is where modern Mediterranean comes in. These exquisite powder rooms can be draped in majesty magenta, plush purple, sunny yellow or even glittering gold. It is best to stick to one bright color in the room and combine it with metallic finishes and accents. With the Mediterranean theme nothing will feel out of place or over-the-top.

Walls with Textural Beauty

One staple of all Mediterranean designs is the lovely presence of textured walls. They give any space an authentic Mediterranean vibe almost instantly. Using this in the powder room can help you veer away from bright colors and gold-tinted mirror frames and take you in a more ‘modern’ direction without compromising on the overall appeal. Textured walls when used along with dazzling Moroccan lanterns that play with light and shadow make a big impact in the small powder room. A natural wood vanity or a brass sink take it to a whole new level!

Bringing Home with Curves

A curved ceiling or arched windows also help in accentuating the Mediterranean panache of the powder room without going over the top. Also make sure that you have the right mirror silhouette for the space and a vanity that feels as classic as the theme of the powder room itself. Smart sconce lighting and another layer of pleasant ambient light should put the perfect final touches on a powder room that feels both extravagant and trendy.
