Saeed is owner and creative director of full-service interior design firm Nu Interiors, a uniquely bi-coastal firm serving both California\u2019s Bay Area and New Jersey, specializing in kitchen and bath renovations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Packing a punch in limited space was the brief for a powder room in a West Coast 1920s colonial \u2013 that is, the cramped 3&#8217;x3&#8242; one-time-closet with accordion doors and a raised floor. \u201cThe house never had a powder room until a previous 1980s renovation shoved one into a closet,\u201d Saeed explains. The awkward step-up floor concealed plumbing grafted into a space it had never been (and had no business being!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the powder room was part of a larger home renovation that included the nearby kitchen and dining room, Saeed was able to poach a few additional square feet from the dining room, which allowed for an expanded \u2013 though still tiny \u2013 3&#8217;x5&#8242; footprint. Relocating the plumbing to the correct place in the basement allowed her to lower the elevated floor, further opening the space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The obvious star of the room is the vibrant geometric Kelly Wearstler wallpaper, which calls back to the softer green hues featured in the kitchen. The flooring, by Fireclay Tile, offers another playful geometric touch with its Moroccan-inspired interlocking star and cross shapes, while the subdued matte gray hue and corresponding painted trim prevents too much visual noise. A floating concrete sink and wall-hung Duravit toilet save space while allowing for ease of maintenance and cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The revamped powder room met with approval from more than the homeowners \u2013 \u201cEven the client\u2019s former-contractor father approved!\u201d Saeed remarks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A second powder bath project was coincidentally also located in a 1920s colonial \u2013 on the East Coast this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe clients were young people relocating from the city who wanted to modernize the home without destroying the history,\u201d Saeed explains. She further describes them as \u201ca really <em>cool<\/em> couple, always ahead of the curve,\u201d noting that they were among the first U.S. owners of an electric Tesla vehicle and were passionate about sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to the renovation, the house only had one upstairs bathroom shared by the whole family. Because there simply was not enough square footage in the home to fit everything on the family\u2019s wish list \u2013 which included a family room, expanded kitchen, mudroom and powder room \u2013 Saeed proposed and designed a 1,400-sq.-ft. indoor-outdoor addition. Situated at the back of the home, the more modern two-storey addition provides a fascinating visual contrast to the existing structure without eliminating its history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new powder room was designed to intentionally straddle the historic and contemporary elements of the home. \u201cI tried to merge old and new, which is a lot of what I do,\u201d notes Saeed. \u201cI went with a subway tile because it wouldn\u2019t feel out of place but would still be pulled forward in time by more modern wallpaper.\u201d The wallpaper, a collaboration between Heath Ceramics and Hygge &amp; West, is contrasted with a moody, saturated accent wall color that references the more modern gray-green kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123850\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_05.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"193348\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123850\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_05.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-193348 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1798\" data-id=\"193348\" src=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123850\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_05.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-193348 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123850\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_05.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123850\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_05-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123850\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_05-801x1200.jpg 801w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123850\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_05-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123850\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_05-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123850\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_05-1170x1753.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123850\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_05-585x877.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123841\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_04.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"193347\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123841\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_04.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-193347 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1798\" data-id=\"193347\" src=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123841\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_04.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-193347 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123841\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_04.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123841\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_04-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123841\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_04-801x1200.jpg 801w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123841\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_04-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123841\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_04-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123841\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_04-1170x1753.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123841\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_04-585x877.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">Left: Wood-look porcelain tile wainscoting brings a sense of warmth to this powder bath by Meredith Weiss.<br>Right: The star of the show in this powder room by Meredith Weiss is the dimensional back-painted gold tile.<br><em><em><em>Photos: Nicole Larson Photography<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Young &amp;

They take a little bit deeper of a plunge and tend to be more fashion-forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Powder rooms are an ideal venue to showcase a young couple\u2019s boldly independent taste. One such family engaged Weiss\u2019s services for a first-floor remodel encompassing the kitchen, living room, full bath and half bath. \u201cShe had taste that was classic but trendy in other ways \u2013 simplicity, not too modern, timeless and dramatic,\u201d says Weiss. \u201cI knew she had good style based on her accessories and how she had her nails done; she always had a different manicure. I felt immediately that I could match her style.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The powder room was conceived as \u201calmost a reverse photo negative\u201d to the rest of the floor, which featured light neutrals with dark accents. Accordingly, the powder room also features all neutral colors, but utilized in such a way that the space is dark and dramatic \u2013 all beneath a black ceiling. \u201cA white ceiling would have outlined just how small the space is,\u201d Weiss explains.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A dark and abstract floral wallpaper carries the moody atmosphere down from the ceiling, terminating at wainscoting in a wood-look elongated tile in \u201ca neutral light color for contrast while maintaining warmth,\u201d Weiss says, adding that the wallpaper and tile combine to create a subtle biophilic nod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Touches such as black sink legs and a gold and black light fixture tie back into kitchen accents, creating a sense of unity despite the contrast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A unique ceiling color is featured in a second powder room project for a different young family: navy this time. \u201cThese were very fun people with an unfun house,\u201d says Weiss. \u201cIt was out of date and just not <em>theirs<\/em>. Their style was classic but fun and not old.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The navy-colored ceiling crowns a climbing botanical wallpaper in an eye-catching scale, but the real showstopper is further down. \u201cCertainly no one walks into a bathroom project thinking they\u2019re going to purchase a gold floor!\u201d says Weiss, of the gold back-painted hexagonal glass floor tile. \u201cBecause it\u2019s glass, it feels very dimensional.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator

home, but it\u2019s a chance to create a bolder feel in the space,\u201d says Ariana Lovato, founder and principal designer for coastal California firm Honeycomb Home Design. \u201cWe always treat it as an opportunity to make an impact.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The undeniable star of the powder room in one new-build project in San Francisco is the floating walnut vanity, which boasts unique rounded corners. \u201cWe landed this project through Instagram,\u201d says Lovato. \u201cShe reached out specifically asking about our cabinet line.\u201d The line in question, Honey Cabinetry, offers semi-custom and fully custom options in an intimate boutique experience. For this project, the client requested a custom vanity, and Lovato worked with her cabinetry team to deliver the rounded edges that the client craved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe powder room is a lot darker and moodier than anything else in the house,\u201d notes Lovato. \u201cThey wanted it to feel like its own little special room.\u201d Dark chevron tile and a minimalist mirror with edges that nod to the shape of the vanity allow the custom piece to take center stage, complemented by light sconces from Visual Comfort in brass with an alabaster shade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another project, located in the Bay Area, also features cabinetry from the firm\u2019s custom line, in rift-sawn white oak. This powder room, part of a whole-home remodel, was located just off the play area for the family\u2019s four young children. \u201cThey wanted it to be fun for the kids, but easy to keep clean,\u201d Lovato explains. \u201cIt\u2019s itty-bitty, just a sink and toilet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Striking black Savoy Swiss Cross tile from Ann Sacks travels up the vanity wall and creeps across the ceiling \u2013 an unexpectedly sweet and playful use of a typically severe color \u2013 while the vanity top, vessel sink and brass sconces maintain a bright and clean feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div

powder bath that would have universal appeal without sacrificing style.<br><em>Photos: Natalia Robert Photo<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nuanced Neutrals, Thoughtful Textures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Another West Coaster, Megan Siason \u2013 the mind behind award-winning firm m studio interior design \u2013 tackled a whole-home remodel with a complicated goal, which was particularly reflected in the powder bath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cInterestingly enough, the original home for this powder bath started out as a small, less than 1,000-sq.-ft. home in La Playa\/San Diego, CA that was completely torn down and built to approximately 5,000 sq. ft.,\u201d she relates. \u201cThe clients are repeat clients of mine who, after completing their primary residence, decided to purchase the home across the way to ensure that no one else would buy and build upwards to obstruct their view of the harbor, Downtown SD, Shelter Island, etc. It\u2019s quite a view.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The motivations behind the build and design made for a bit of a tricky design direction. \u201cWhat made this space (and the entire home) somewhat challenging was that the clients could not tell me or the contractors whether they would plan to rent [the home] out short-term or long-term, or sell during our overall process,\u201d Siason explains. \u201cSince this home was not intended to be their primary residence\u2026we were very careful to designate finishes that were not just universal, but intriguing, eye-catching and (to be very frank) wallet-friendly!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal for the powder room became to create a space that would be neutral, yet anything but boring, with \u201ceconomical, yet subtly captivating and easy-to-maintain finishes throughout.\u201d Siason adds, \u201cOf course, with my focus on creating spaces where people can thrive (and not yet knowing who these people would be!), I wanted to create a space that felt inviting, where literally anyone would feel welcome regardless of their personal style or design preferences.\u201d &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Siason endeavored to create layers of texture and movement within a neutral color palette. A wall of light textural porcelain tile contrasts with a painted accent wall in a darker, deeper tone. Hexagonal porcelain floor mosaic tile \u201coffers some movement against the more neutral palette,\u201d while \u201cthe graining in the wood veneer wall mounted vanity is another layer of soothing texture to ground the rounded vessel sink.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The resultant space is \u201csuper neutral, yet pleasant\u2026that feeling when you walk into a spa that\u2019s not overdone in marble (I still love marble!), but that feeling of ease and restfulness without any pretension.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123816\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_01.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"193344\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123816\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-193344 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1660\" data-id=\"193344\" src=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123816\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-193344 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123816\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_01.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123816\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_01-434x600.jpg 434w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123816\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_01-867x1200.jpg 867w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123816\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_01-768x1062.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123816\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_01-1110x1536.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123816\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_01-1170x1619.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123816\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_01-585x809.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123824\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_02.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"193345\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123824\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-193345 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1636\" data-id=\"193345\" src=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123824\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-193345 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123824\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_02.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123824\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_02-440x600.jpg 440w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123824\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_02-880x1200.jpg 880w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123824\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_02-768x1047.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123824\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_02-1127x1536.jpg 1127w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123824\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_02-1170x1595.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/sola-images.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/03123824\/0325_KB_PowderRoom_02-585x798.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-528e7367d7e8e991e6bc617935421de3\" style=\"color:#5195a4\">In Vogue, In Between<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Difficult to classify and not always given the love it deserves is the 3\/4 bath. Smaller than the average primary or master bath, this bath typically offers a functional toilet\/sink\/shower trifecta and, in many homes, serves the needs of kids, in-laws and guests. Of course, especially where guests are concerned, this means that the 3\/4 bath needs to pull double duty as a style statement and a functional space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such was the challenge faced by Ariana Lovato of Honeycomb Home Design when creating this mid-century-inspired half bath, part of a whole home remodel in upscale Santa Barbara suburb, Hope Ranch. \u201cWe had a lot of fun,\u201d Lovato says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking style cues from renowned post-war California designer Cliff May\u2019s work, the freshened bath features a custom vanity by Lovato\u2019s in-house cabinetry line, Honey Cabinetry, against a wall of vertical subway tile in a soothing blue-green colorway. Terrazzo flooring by Concrete Collaborative carries over into the bath and shower nook from outside of the bathroom, lending a sense of continuity to the space.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite its typically tiny footprint, the powder room has the potential to see
