‘Ledgestone’ wallpaper has
the look of hewn rock but in
a smooth, wipeable finish
Hang paper that pops
If there’s a place to try wallpaper for the first
time, a powder room is it! Superfresco Easy
trends and design expert Paula Taylor
says that as pattern and colour can have
intense mood-enhancing properties,
adding pattern to a wall instantly ups
the welcoming atmosphere. “It can
be used to express the personality of the
homeowner, or to create a calming, neutral
environment for all to feel comfortable in,”
she says. Brave choices may be bold in
colour and design but, for a safer selection,
soft hues, florals and fauna will add more
low-key personality. Wallpaper should last
if not exposed to splashes from the basin,
but it isn’t recommended for humid areas
such as full bathrooms with showers.

Turn on the light fantastic
Here’s the place to have a licensed electrician
install that to-die-for chandelier, showstopping
pendant or stylish sconce. Ideally, you’ll have
lights on either side of the mirror (or one above
if space is an issue) for guests to freshen up,
and one dimmer light overhead for ambience.

Switch focus to a vanity
If there’s enough room, consider replacing
a pedestal sink with a vanity. This provides
storage and can also serve as a design focal
point, says Jo Ingleton at Cibo. “It will help take
the focus away from a centrally positioned
toilet that likely faces the entry door,” she says.
Flair can be added with a stylish countertop
basin, installed by a licensed plumber. “The
fixtures, fittings and tiles can then be selected
to complement the standout basin,” says Jo.
Mix it up with mirrors
Wide-framed mirrors double as art, with space
around them for decorative elements such as
metallic finishes, glass mosaics or tiles. Round
and square mirrors fit most spaces, but this is a
place where you can try something rectangular,
oval, or even irregular or custom-made.
