“Powder Rooms are probably the most used bathroom in any home so it’s a great opportunity to do something more daring. Paint the vanity a fun bright, or a moody dark colour; make the sink a conversational statement piece; use a vintage bold mirror or lighting, or choose a wallpaper! The result can be calming, chic or moody and unexpected – but it will surely make you and guests smile!” – CFK Interiors
