A bold light, fabulous sconces, or stunning mini-chandelier will also add to your powder room wow factor. Planning for lighting is always super important. If you have the space, a great look is to install a pair of beautiful sconces on either side of the mirror. You can also add a beautiful ceiling fixture that matches for additional lighting if necessary. Lights can always be put on dimmers, so my rule of thumb is to install more lighting rather than less.
Other items in the powder room that are great to make a statement with are the sink, vanity & faucet, and of course the accessories! A wall mounted faucet is a unique and modern option. I personally love the look of a wall mounted faucet. A few things to keep in mind with wall mounts though: it will be a bit more expensive to install and it needs to be used with the appropriate sink to avoid water splashing when turned on. I also love the modern look of a wall mounted, or "floating" vanity. This type of vanity really opens up the space and also allows you to see the floor underneath it. When you mount the vanity on the wall, you may need to reinforce the wall behind the sheetrock for extra support. Having a vanity will give you a bit of storage for extra toilet paper, tissues, hand soap & towels...always a welcome feature in a bathroom!
Lastly, make sure the accessories coordinate with all the other items in your powder room and are part of your “statement”. The mirror can have a fabulous frame in a coordinating color. The towel bar, toilet paper holder & and hand towels should also all tie in with the statement colors and/or patterns. And don’t forget a nice smelling hand soap and lotion in pretty containers that guests will definitely appreciate☺
