Who doesn’t love a pretty powder room? Powder rooms, a.k.a. half-bathrooms, are a great space to have fun with creative design elements. From colorful wallpaper to bold color schemes and décor, half-baths are the space to let your personality shine! However, when the sky is the limit, it can be a little difficult to know where to start! Recently, I decided to take the plunge (pun definitely intended) and tackle our powder room remodel. I spent weeks shuffling through millions of powder room ideas on the web. In the process, I saved all of my favorites and put them together in this list of 30 unique and pretty powder room ideas!
