Designer Powder Room Vanities For A Supremely Stylish Small
Bathroom
Small spaces are sometimes the hardest to design. The smaller your room, the more thought required to deal with
all the little necessities - like finding the right balance of storage, floor space, and style. But in a powder room, all
that goes out the window. Since you don't need a place to store your toothbrush or curling iron, a powder room is
the perfect place for that beautiful-but-impractical vanity. No cabinets? No drawers? No problem! Designer
powder room vanities are an ideal way to really showcase your smaller space, and give your guests a little wow
factor, no matter what size your bathroom.

Avanity Hemet 25 Inch Dark Walnut Vanity With Black Granite Top

In a powder room, style is king. While your selection for typical or master bathroom vanities is likely to be limited
by the number and size of their drawers, in a powder room you probably don't need to stow anything more than
maybe a spare roll of toilet paper. So when it comes to powder room vanities, I always like to give a first look at
my favorite vanities that got taken off the top of the list for a regular or small bathroom for practical reasons. This
Hemet vanity from Avanity is a personal favorite - it's got a subtle, sleek style that works well with just about any
decor. It also makes the perfect pedestal for a unique vessel sink, which is one of my favorite ways to customize a
powder room.

Esprit Bathroom Pedestal Vanity Set From The Wyndham Collection

In fact, outright pedestal vanities, like this Esprit Vanity from the Wyndham Collection, also work extremely well as
powder room vanities, especially if you want to give the space a slightly museum-like flair. Again, pick a really
beautiful glass or metal vessel sink to sit atop a dark wood or stone pedestal vanity like this one, then fill the room
with ambient bathroom lighting. Strategically placed recessed lights or undermount lights will help enhance the
museum feel, and one bright spotlight right over the sink will serve not only as task lighting, but to bring out the
color and detail in the sink - sure to take your guests' breath away!

Museum Style Pedestal Vanity And Vessel Sink From Silkroad Exclusive

Then again, if you need a little extra storage space - say, if you cant find a decorative toilet paper holder you like

for your spare rolls - there are slim, trim powder room vanities that have at least enough space for toilet tissue and
hand towels. This HPY-0155-22, for example, is similar in shape and size, to the Wyndham museum style vanity,
but instead of a solid pedestal, this one has access to the interior. Tapered, sure, and certainly not ideal for a
regular bathroom, but for a guest bath or powder room, this powder room vanity has all the storage you'll need.

HYP 0156-12 Pedestal Vanity From Silkroad Exclusive

Similarly, this Column Style Vanity from Silkroad Exclusive is reminiscent of the columns you'd rest a bust on -
similarly subtle-but-breathtaking, and begging for a beautiful sink to show off. Once again, while the lean mean
12" width and depth would make this beauty at best inadvisable for a heavily trafficked bathroom, the whole
interior is open for simple storage, which makes it picture perfect as a powder room vanity. As a bonus, it even
has a few shelves inside to make organization a little easier.

Cambridge Vanity

Of course, powder room vanities can be a statement all to themselves. This Cambridge Vanity is a gorgeous,
antique-inspired piece that acts as a focal point for a bathroom of just about any size. The simple woodwork is
subtle but elegant, and the two finishes make it well suited for either a contemporary or a period inspired
bathroom. This particular bathroom vanity is especially well suited to a powder room, with two built in decorative
towel hooks that make for an easy seasonal accessory change whenever you have guests.

Cruz Vanity From JSG Oceana

Powder rooms are also a great place to try on modern bathroom vanities that are just a little too cutting edge to be
practical. While this Cruz vanity from JSG Oceana Glass at least makes an effort at offering storage with the
stylish, staggered shelves, putting a roll of TP on one and can of shaving cream on the other sort of ruins the
minimal, geometric effect. In a powder room, though, this vanity really shines. Since you won't need the storage,
you can leave the shelves empty or, if you need to, to house some tightly rolled hand towels so each of your
guests can have one of their own. Better yet, use the shelves to display simple, beautiful objects that coordinate
with one of Oceana's colorful glass vessel sinks to really highlight the beauty of this powder room vanity.

Goblet Style Pedestal Vanities From Legion Furniture

If you want to get really extreme, go for a bold, unusual powder room vanity like this Goblet Style Vanity from
Legion Furniture. The king of otherwise-impractical vanities, this is a real star piece when used in a powder room.
The leaf and vine design is reminiscent of Roman architecture, and combined with the slightly metallic finish
(which makes it look even more chalice-like), is a great setup for a rather Bacchic design. If you enjoy the fruit of
the vine and like to entertain, this powder room vanity is an excellent foundation for a vineyard-themed guest
bathroom or powder room.

Silkroad Exclusives HYP 0141-23 Pedestal Vanity

In the same vein, this HPY-0141-23 is similar, but both a little bit more ornate and a little more practical. The

hidden-ish front panel allows for a modest amount of storage (and a little easier access to your plumbing). It also
comes with dainty, decorative hand towel hooks built right in, which is perfect for guests who aren't quite sure
where to wipe their hands (and makes it look a little like you could lift it and take a swig). The detailing on this
vanity is stunning, and even with a simple white undermount sink, it's a real show stopper - especially if you give it
a little help with some creative bathroom lighting. Instead of trying to highlight the sink, though, fill the room with
lots of good ambient light, making sure to feature the texture of the carvings for a sight that your guests won't
soon forget. Even if your powder room is incredibly small, that doesn't mean it can't be one of the most stunning
areas in your home. In fact, while a smaller bathroom might be considered a bad thing elsewhere, in a powder
room, it gives you a better opportunity to splurge on the vanity and other bathroom decor you really want without
having to worry about it being too practical. What design do you have in mind for your powder room? When it
comes to powder room vanities, do you like them small, or is your space big enough that you'd prefer a larger
decorative piece?
