Petal to the metal
Small but mighty. This powder room proves that tiny spaces can still pack a serious punch—and have a little fun while they’re at it.
For this darling powder room, we looked at over 30 combinations of floral wallpaper and paint colours before landing on this one—and we could have happily designed around any of them. But something about this pairing just clicked. It’s rich, romantic, and just the right amount of bold.
The painted wall paneling brings structure and sophistication, grounding the pattern and giving the room a sense of timelessness. From there, we layered in organic lighting with soft, petal-like shapes, warm brass fixtures, and a beautifully veined marble vanity—each element carefully chosen to balance beauty and utility.
The finished product made for a pocket-sized powder room that feels intimate, layered, and full of personality. Like you're about to step into a Parisian café or a glamorous vintage train car every time you open the door.
Working with this client was a dream. She came in with an open mind and a real appreciation for the creative process. We explored every possibility together, always keeping an eye on how to make the space feel both elevated and personal. It was the kind of collaboration that reminds us why we love what we do.
This little room is proof that when it comes to small spaces, more can be more.
