Top Trending Powder Room Wall Decor
Speaking of playful decor, consider adding a contemporary touch to your powder room. A piece of modern artwork can create a personalized atmosphere. Our art director, Tirzah Goodman, has highlighted cheeky typography as one of the top trends for 2024. While the popularity of text-based artwork has waxed and waned over the last few years, it’s making a major comeback – with a twist! Rather than hanging several framed pieces of inspirational quotes, try hanging a single, oversized, multi-panel print. The unframed canvas will look effortlessly contemporary, and the lone piece of artwork will stand out as a statement piece. Apply this design theory to your powder room, and choose a thematic piece of word wall art.
Defining Your Powder Room Decorating Style
Wait! Before you get too excited about selecting your artwork, have you defined your decorating style? It’s imperative that you determine what you want to convey in your powder room before making your final selection with decor. If you want a modern space through and through, adhere to minimalism to ensure a sleek, chic space. For a more free-spirited look, incorporate organic materials like wicker and rattan. If a classic interior is your goal, add antique beauty products and containers as accent pieces. Your powder room is about expressing yourself and creating a rejuvenating sanctuary. Don’t be afraid to experiment with styles that interest you, because this space is meant to reflect your unique personality.

Personalize Your Powder Room Decor
It doesn’t take a lot to elevate your powder room. For a sophisticated space, be intentional about the decor you choose. Hide anything that doesn’t make you feel luxurious. A few easy ways to personalize your bathroom or powder room include: a vase of your favorite fresh flowers, a candle in your favorite scent, and an eye-catching piece of wall art. Display your most aesthetically pleasing perfumes and bath products, and even consider laying out a coffee table book on beauty. Make sure to involve all five senses for a lush, lavish experience. Paying close attention to detail to accessories like matching towels, bath mats, and toiletries can make a huge visual difference. Remember, less is more when it comes to powder room decor! Your bathroom or getting ready space can reach new heights with simple, budget-friendly details.

Adding a large piece of artwork can be the perfect way to tie the whole room together and provide a touch of personality. Also, don’t underestimate the power of a well-curated bathroom gallery-wall!”

Colors to Complement Your Space
When it comes to color palettes, keep it sleek and simple. Follow these pro-tips from our guide on how to combine neutrals and statement shades:
Powder Room Wall Art: Pro Tips
“In order to avoid a space that looks too warm or too cool, include a bit of both! If you want to add warm accent colors like orange, red, and yellow, keep your neutral tones on the cooler side. That means using primarily whites and greys as the base of your space. By using cool neutral tones as a base, you are allowing yourself the freedom to play with warm, cheerful hues.”
Our resident design expert Elimar Lobo Sáenz shares her advice on a trendy cool-tone to use in your powder room:
“Turquoise, a blend of light blue and green, has tropical undertones that bring to mind the cooling properties of the ocean and can instantly transport you to a relaxed day on the beach. It is said that turquoise represents a desire to make your own way in the world, under your very own terms.”
Black and White Powder Room Ideas
When in doubt, you can’t go wrong with something modern and minimalist like black and white! For a truly contemporary space, black and white decor is key. For more black and white bathroom and powder room ideas, check out this expert article that expands on this stunning, simple color scheme.

Powder Room Wall Art: Sizes
Choose your powder room canvas size using these excerpts from our ultimate wall art size guide:
Your wall art should take up about 60% to 75% of the available empty wall space, the portion not covered by moldings or furniture. Measure the height and width of the wall. Now, multiply the measurements by both 0.6 and 0.75. As a result, you will get the range of canvas print sizes to suit the space.
For instance, if your blank wall is 9 feet tall and 5 feet wide, multiply 9 by 0.6 to get the low end of the ideal height range. Then multiply 9 by 0.75 to get the high end of the ideal height range. Do the same for your wall's 5 feet width. The ideal height of the canvas would be 5.4 feet - 6.75 feet and the ideal width would be 3 feet - 3.75 feet.
Average Powder Room Size: Pro Tips
Reference this expert tip when hanging your artwork:
“In a compact space like a powder room…. a common design mistake is not hanging the artwork flush with the wall. A canvas that sticks out too far can cheapen the overall look of your space. Attention to detail is crucial when crafting a well-curated interior. If your nail is sticking out and causing a gap between your canvas and the wall, it can be distracting to onlookers. A flush frame or canvas is especially important when creating a gallery wall or hanging a multi-panel piece.”

Powder Room Wall Art: Pro Tips
You can also choose from a framed or unframed print. Read this passage from our article on framed vs unframed art:
“Unframed canvas is artwork that is not set into any frame. Because of frameless borders, these artworks can adapt to any style. Unframed canvas prints are loved for their sleek and modern look. The minimalist look blends well with contemporary furniture and virtually all interior styles.
Framed artwork looks complete and polished. Because of the small gap between the canvas and the frame, the canvas print seems to be floating inside the frame, giving your artwork a truly unique look. One of the best benefits of framed artwork is that it looks very light and unbulky, which results in a clean appearance.”
