The quickest way to make a crowded space feel brighter and bigger? Fill it with cheerful colors. Cortney and Robert Novogratz chose a heated pink botanical Gucci wallpaper for the powder room in their West Village townhouse.

Smaller prints on wallpaper can give the appearance of a solid color (with a bit more interest) and are great for people who are wary of adding pattern to such a compact space. This powder room wallpaper is by Pierre Frey, as is the fabric for the sink skirt. In fact, the whole New England home by Lilse McKenna is full of color and wallpaper inspiration.

An Antoinette Poisson wallpaper adds whimsy to this tailored powder room by Liz Caan. No shower means no need to worry about humidity affecting the glue and causing peeling corners.

This powder room by Alexandra Kaehler features a black-and-white Pierre Frey wallpaper that perfectly complements wainscoting painted in an equally deep, true black. To get the look, try Benjamin Moore Tricorn Black in a glossy finish.

This tightly patterned powder room wallpaper by Rule of Three Studio is balanced by wainscoting that runs three-quarters of the way up the wall. Chauncey Boothby chose a custom colorway with blacks and browns that tie in with the rest of the room, from the walnut tone of the custom vanity to the grosgrain ribbon holding up the mirror.

The sand dollars on this bold Madison and Grow wallpaper take on a geometric effect thanks to their ultra-even repeat. And, since this is a Naples beach house, designers Jesse Carrier and Mara Mille added seashell-studded mirror.

Rather than extend the olive paint (Southern Vine by Benjamin Moore) all the way up—which would have made this windowless powder room look and feel far too gloomy—designer Bria Hammel covered the top quarter of the walls and the ceiling in a Farrow & Ball wallpaper, exaggerating its height and making it feel airy.

Designer Nina Farmer made this retro corner sink feel novel again simply by adding a gorgeous Robert Crowder & Co wallpaper. The wainscoting was already painted in Farrow & Ball Plummet, which complements the paper and makes the powder room feel more formal.

A Watermark Fixtures sink in Farrow & Ball Hague Blue sets an “oceanfront but not kitschy” theme for this Cape Cod, Massachusetts, powder room, says Kasie DiNella of Mend Interiors. The graphic wallpaper by These Walls picks up its the navy tone.

This much pattern might feel like a gigantic commitment to make in a primary bathroom, but it’s totally fun in a powder room. Chango & Co. paired a jaw-dropping Hermès wallpaper with a vanity, woodwork, and floor tile in similar (but not matching) shades of bluish purple for a cohesive look.

In Courtney Petit’s Dallas home, an under-the-stairs bath is a nod to her slow mother’s beloved blue-and-white china. The Schumacher wallpaper might feel overwhelming in larger room, but in this sloped powder room, it creates the exact right amount of visual impact.

In this Dallas home’s powder room, Sara Johnson splashed out on a Hawaiian-inspired Anna Spiro Textiles wallpaper. To further play with pattern and scale, she added a gingham sink skirt, which is perfect for hiding extra toilet paper.

Even the pattern averse can get on board with a tender black-and-gray print. This powder room by Studio DB features a sweet, lighthearted Schumacher wallpaper that complements the swirls of the marble floating sink.

When used in a compact space, like this powder room by Markham Roberts, this silk ikat wallcovering’s large-scale print is energizing, not overwhelming. The 1820s French mirror’s reverse-painted frame keeps the graphic patterns coming.
