Stiles Transforms Powder Rooms with Style
Discover how Stiles elevates small spaces with bold tiles, luxe finishes, and creative design ideas for unforgettable powder rooms
Think small size, but big impact! The humble guest toilet or powder room is a great place to express daring and stylish design choices. Despite its small footprint, a well-executed powder room has the potential to embrace a true spirit of experimentation and wow house guests with bold design, luxurious materials and tonnes of personality.
The powder room is sometimes referred to as a‘ half bath’, as it has half the amenities of a full bathroom. Intended for use by guests, the powder room often just has a sink and a toilet. The concept originated in noble courts of the 18th century as a dedicated space for freshening ornate wigs with powder and perfume. The powder room eventually trickled down into general society where it was left to languish in obscurity with other underrated and unappreciated spaces like entrance halls, sculleries, and dressing rooms.
At Stiles, we are leading a powder room renaissance! This‘ small dose’ space offers an irresistible opportunity to create a unique guest experience. Pack a creative punch with the use of
