A Designer Feature with Leah Phillips Interiors
When it comes to small spaces that carry big design energy, powder rooms top the list. These tiny corners of the home often go overlooked — but they’re actually the perfect opportunity to take creative risks, layer in bold personality, and let a little pattern steal the show.
Designer and trade account client Leah Phillips Interiors recently proved just how impactful a well-styled powder room can be. Her latest install is a perfect example of the Power of the Powder Room — and why these small spaces deserve our full attention.
Leah transformed this compact space into a jewel-box moment using our Roadside Picks Wallpaper in Dusty Charcoal — a moody, floral-forward print that walks the line between playful and sophisticated. It’s a personal favorite of mine (it’s even installed in my own home), and it works beautifully in powder rooms with limited square footage where every detail gets noticed.
Can we also pause to celebrate that blush pink door trim ? The deeper background of the wallpaper makes that color sing — proof that small choices make big impact.
The Power of the Powder Room: Why Powder Rooms Are Perfect for Bold Wallpaper
If you’ve been searching for wallpaper ideas for powder rooms or best wallpaper for small bathrooms, this is your sign: go for it. Here’s why powder rooms are ideal for wallpaper:
They’re small but visible , so your design choices get noticed
You can splurge on high-impact materials with less square footage to cover
They’re a great place to play with rich paint colors , statement wallpaper , or even metallic ceilings
Wallpaper adds immediate personality , especially in homes with simpler or more neutral main living spaces
Designers, you know the drill: a well-designed powder room leaves an impression long after the guest towels have been used. It’s a moment of surprise, intimacy, and style — all in one tiny room.
