These lovely pictures I have below are of our teeny tiny half-bath (or powder room as some like to say!). It is located in our daughter’s room, actually! Lucky baby, has her own bathroom! We haven’t done much to it since we’ve moved in, except for new flooring. It had a piece of carpet just laying on top of old linoleum tiles, and my husband put new faux-tile laminate in to replace it! Here it is with the carpet:
Sweet sink and medicine cabinet shot…
This one shows the linoleum tile that was underneath the floating piece of carpet.
And here is the new flooring that Glenn installed a few weeks ago!
As you can see, it is a teeny, tiny room, so I think it would so fun to do a fun wall treatment in here. Wallpaper? I’ve never done it, but I know people who can help me and this might be a good room to practice on! Wall decals? Maybe, but I think something textured would be even better.
Design Public has some really fun (can I stress enough that I want something FUN in there?? 
) wall applications that I’m loving. Any other resources for textured wall applications? I like these, especially because you can paint them, but I think I want something a little less juvenile…

These are pretty cool, but I need to do the math. Each panel is 18″ x 18″ and you get 10 panels for $84. Maybe I could do just one wall?? Maybe two??

These are fun, but I want more coverage. I saw something that was overlapping, multi-colored raised squares, but now I can’t find them anywhere! Can anyone help?? Any other suggestions for my search?

About Me
I'm an interior designer and a draftsperson, but I live in the country. I like it that way. I'm also a firefighter's wife, mom to 2 cute kids, and a homeowner and I like that even better. But right after that is a pretty and affordable space...and I mean a REALLY affordable space. Because I believe good design can be for EVERYONE!

Hey!
Here is an idea for you to consider:
Paint the walls black or extreme charcoal. Hang a funky white iron chandalier (with crystals) from the ceiling – looks like it’s a tall room. Use either the daisy looking thingies painted white (perhaps pink?)on one wall only – or these flower-ie stick ons in your last photo. Lose the medicine cabinet and Hang a really LONG mirror over the sink so it will reflect the chandelier. It can be rather girlie/glamorous/fun because it’s off your daughter’s room.
Let me know if you use any of these ideas! Check out my blog: Supreme Design with Dianne Ross. And have a blast “playing”! Love your attitude!

Thanks for the advice!! I like the dark/light contrast idea and I’ll keep your suggestions in mind! I really want some fun texture on the walls, so I’ll be sure to let you know what I come up with!!

The flooring is really beautiful. The fact that the room is attached to a child’s room and is very small makes it a great place to experiment. I’ll have to think of some cool advice…
I’m a fan of the “wallflower” decals in your last pic (by Umbra) you can also get them in pink, green,black and white. I’d buy 2 packs and put up lots!
I did gray walls and a black ceiling in our powder room with white accents you can check out the pics here:

BTW great job on the floor………looking forward to seeing what you do.
The new flooring really does make a difference. What fun wall applications! I’ve never seen some of these before. Can’t wait to see what you decide to do. Thanks for joining my blog party–hope you have a great weekend! -Julia
