The High-Impact, Low-Effort Powder Room Makeover Design Experts are Loving for 2022

Powder Room Makeover, Anyone?

Transform your small bathroom in a day with this DIY update anyone can do.

Want a super easy, cost-effective way to upgrade your powder room in a day? You guessed it — it’s wallpaper.

And don’t just take our word for it!

More than 88% of interior design experts polled picked powder rooms as the number one place to use wallpaper in your home.

Why are powder rooms such a great place for wallpaper?

First, they’re small spaces, so the investment is relatively low. Their size also means you can hang your wallpaper in a day or two. (Even quicker if you opt for easy-to-install self-adhesive wallpaper.)

Second, we spend a relatively small amount of our day in the bathroom — especially in a hall bath or powder room. So you’re less likely to get tired of a bold pattern or color.

Finally, there aren’t a lot of competing design elements in a bathroom. No throw pillows or furnishings to speak of. This means you can experiment with color and designs without trying to coordinate them.

You have a literal blank canvas to work with. So what wallpaper goes best in a powder room? We say, “The sky’s the limit!” There’s no wrong answer, really. Again, because you have such a blank canvas, you really can’t go wrong.

While it might seem counterintuitive, a smaller space is the perfect opportunity to go big with color and pattern.

In fact, Los Angeles interior designer Patrick Ediger says, “The smaller the room, the bolder your design choices should be. A tiny [space] is an opportunity to push the envelope and use vibrant colors, bold prints, or eye-catching design elements like statement lighting or fixtures.” So choosing the right powder room wallpaper really comes down to your personal preference and style.

The most popular wallpaper for powder rooms in 2022? Nature-inspired and floral prints. Florals are having a big moment in the design world right now. And we couldn’t be happier.

We love the texture, depth, and color they provide. Plus, they bring the best of nature indoors. (Which is a big plus in an often-windowless room like a powder room.)

Here are some of our favorite floral wallpapers for a powder room

Florals I Lined Flower Burgundy

Finally, this graphic design offers a more masculine floral option for your powder room walls. Available in 3 colors, the Lined Floral collection delivers a modern take on a traditional floral wallpaper to complement any style.

Looking for nature-inspired wallpapers that aren’t floral? We’ve got you covered there, too. Another top trend for bathrooms in 2022? Slab stone.

But we don’t have to tell you — stone walls get expensive fast. And it’s definitely not a quick upgrade, either. Our favorite affordable way to bring the look of natural stone into your powder room? A stone slab wallpaper mural.

Created from high-quality digital images of real stone and printed with the highest quality tech, these murals are convincingly real. Plus, we custom print them for your unique space and dimensions. This minimizes waste and makes installing your stone wallpaper murals a cinch.
