The Power of Powder Rooms

By Rebecca Wardon, Interior Design Manager

The powder room has gotten the short end of the stick for too long. Often overlooked, forgotten, or even hidden. Well, I say no more. Powder rooms are having a moment, here’s why.

PERFECT FOR GUESTS

Functionally, powder rooms are great if you’re having guests over. It’s a simple and discreet place to step away and freshen up before dinner or during halftime of the game. Plus, when you’re preparing to host, you have a much smaller area to worry about cleaning compared to a master bath.

Make sure your guests have a clean, comfortable, and accessible place to refresh with a powder room.

PERFECT FOR YOU

But the powder room isn’t just for the guests. It can also make your life a lot more convenient. Many of our powder rooms are placed near the back entryway or the garage entrance. 

If you’re working out in the yard or in the garage it’s an easy place to wash your hands or take a break without having to trudge through the whole home. Plus, their compact size means you don’t have to sacrifice a lot of square footage for this convenience.

HAVE FUN WITH IT

But the real reason why powder rooms have been on the up and up is that folks have realized it’s a great space to have some fun with design. Traditionally, people have treated the powder room as just another extension of the main living area, and not one that they’d like to call much attention to. But not anymore.

Powder rooms have become statement rooms, places where you can experiment with bold materials, patterns, and colors. In our previous blog on colored cabinets, we discuss how a bathroom is a low-risk place for dramatic looks. And it’s not just colored cabinets. We’re seeing a lot of funky wallpapers and intriguing backsplashes being used in powder rooms to bring some drama to your design.

  • When we rightsized from our home of 43 years to a Bielinski Condo in Bay Pointe, our New Home Consultant answered all of our questions and communicated with us the entire way. We’re fully enjoying our beautiful new home and the condo community.
    John and Jean Jones
  • I’ve been so impressed and completely satisfied with the entire Bielinski building experience. From the initial sale and throughout the construction process I have appreciated Bielinski’s professionalism, craftsmanship, and follow-through.
    Heidi Hamilton
  • We are extremely happy with our new Bielinski Condo. It’s well-built and full of all the features we wanted in our home.
    Deborah and Brian Blackney
  • We chose Bielinski because they are a family-owned business and have been building in the Pewaukee area for a long time. The Clemont floor plan is just perfect for all of our family events and Packer parties.
    Bob and Darla Landgren
  • We couldn’t be happier with our new home! The entire process was fantastic. Everyone was so responsive and quick to help. Bielinski’s knowledge of the industry was invaluable. We recommend Bielinski to anyone looking for their next home.
    Mike and Kristin Smith
  • We had a really good experience with Bielinski from start to finish. Everyone was responsive and reliable. Now we are enjoying life in our new home.
    Peter Holzwart and Therese Gaynor-Holzwart
  • Once I got settled in, I knew I was exactly where I belong. Without Bielinski’s knowledge and communication, I would still be questioning whether I should build at all. Thanks to the entire team that made this all possible.
    Barb King
  • We have just purchased our third Bielinski Home in the last 22 years, a Bielinski condo. We have found that Bielinski Homes builds quality homes for fair prices. The craftsmanship of construction and finishing is exceptional, plus they make the buying and building process easy with great customer experience. We would strongly recommend a Bielinski Home.
    Jerald and Jeanne Filut
  • We absolutely loved working with Bielinski Homes — the kindness and knowledge they shared sold us on wanting to move to our new neighborhood. We were worried about moving. But we had no doubts in our minds after speaking with our New Home Consultant about the community and the neighbors. We couldn’t be happier with our new home and new neighborhood.
