BATH TIPS

The powder room, typically a main floor half-bath, is often the home's smallest room. Yet, if you measure its worth by the amount of traffic a room gets per square foot, the powder room could easily be the most valuable space in your house. For this reason, you'll want to make sure you get the design right, especially the lighting, which can contribute dramatically to the overall effect of your space. Don't be afraid to get creative and express your personal style. Choose lighting fixtures with character that will provide both task and ambient lighting while adding a little something special to the decor.
