A Powder Room, Completely Reimagined
A Powder Room, Completely Reimagined
Powder rooms are often overlooked. They’re small, utilitarian, and usually inherited “as-is” when someone buys a home. But when done right, a powder room can be one of the most memorable spaces in the house.
This project is a perfect example of that transformation.
The Before: Functional, But Forgettable
When we first saw this space, it was doing its job—but not much more than that. The room featured a pedestal sink, beige tile flooring, partial-height tile wainscoting, and warm neutral walls. Everything was serviceable, but the overall feel was dated and lacked personality.
There was no storage, no visual depth, and no connection to the rest of the home’s design. It felt like a pass-through space rather than a destination.
The homeowners wanted something bolder. A room that felt intentional. Elevated. Finished.
The Vision: Dramatic, Timeless, and Tailored
The goal wasn’t just to “update” the powder room—it was to completely reimagine it.
Working closely with the homeowners, we leaned into contrast, texture, and craftsmanship. The design direction focused on rich, moody tones balanced with warm metals and classic detailing. Every element was chosen to feel cohesive and purposeful, not trendy or overdone.
This was about creating a powder room with presence.
The Transformation: From Basic to Statement Space
The finished space is almost unrecognizable from where it started.
A custom-built vanity anchors the room, offering much-needed storage while introducing furniture-style detailing. The dark finish adds depth and drama, while the stone countertop and warm brass hardware bring balance and refinement.
The walls were transformed with applied panel molding and a deep, layered paint finish below, paired with a patterned wallpaper above. The contrast adds texture and visual interest without overwhelming the space.
New lighting and a custom mirror complete the look, creating a warm, inviting glow that highlights the craftsmanship throughout the room. Even the flooring was upgraded to a rich, patterned wood-look tile, adding another layer of sophistication and durability.
The Result: Small Room, Big Impact
This powder room is no longer an afterthought—it’s a feature.
It’s a space that feels intentional, elevated, and reflective of the homeowners’ style. More importantly, it shows what’s possible when thoughtful design meets skilled execution.
At Hubley Painting & Remodeling, we love projects like this because they prove that even small spaces deserve great design. Whether it’s a full remodel or a focused transformation, our approach stays the same: listen carefully, design thoughtfully, and execute with precision.
If you’re considering updating a powder room, bathroom, or any interior space in your home, we’d love to help you explore what’s possible.
