When it comes to interior design, the powder room is often overlooked, but we’d argue it’s one of the best places in the home to take a bold design risk. Why? It’s a small, self-contained space where you can experiment with color, pattern, and personality without committing to a whole-house overhaul.

At Lex & Hudson, we love treating powder rooms like little jewel boxes. These compact spaces are the perfect canvas for drama, whimsy, and unexpected moments of joy. Here are three standout powder rooms from our portfolio that show just how much impact a few square feet can make.

Textural Calm Meets Classic Contrast

In this Darien home, we paired a deep forest green wainscoting with a soft, hand-painted wallpaper for a look that feels both grounded yet airy. The traditional pedestal sink and sconces keep it timeless, while the mix of textures adds the right amount of intrigue.

Retro Cool With a Modern Twist

This playful powder room features a geometric wallpaper and a floating sink. We kept the palette light and fresh with blush tones, pale wood, and sky blue as a nod to vintage charm with a contemporary sensibility. A tiny wood stool adds warmth to the space.

Bold, Graphic, and a Little Wild

For the maximalist at heart, this tiger-print wallpaper brings instant personality. Paired with brass hardware, travertine stone, and a deep plum accent wall, it’s unapologetically bold and proof that powder rooms are where design rules can bend (or break) a little.
