This month’s Houzz articles are all about bringing a little drama into your powder room, one of our favorite places to have some fun with design. Many of our clients lean toward a more neutral, coastal feel throughout their homes, which is always beautiful and works especially well for rentals here on the Outer Banks. But if you’ve ever thought about adding a bold wallpaper, a pop of color, or something a little unexpected, the powder room is the perfect place to do it.
Because it’s a smaller space, it can handle those bolder design choices without overwhelming the rest of the home. A few years ago, we even did a bright pink powder room — and if you toured our multi-award-winning home in Harbinger during the 2024 Parade of Homes, you probably remember it! Hopefully, these articles give you a little inspiration to step outside the box and create a space that really stands out.
