Houzz Flip: 102 Eye-Popping Powder Rooms

Powder rooms are often the jewel box of a home. Often the smallest room in a house, they lend themselves to doses of color and pattern that might be over the top in a larger space. Today we celebrate them in a new photo series highlighting areas of the house particularly rich in personal expression and beautiful design.

For the most hypnotic effect, we recommend that you click the first image to enlarge the photo, then use the right arrow to flip through the photos in slideshow format. (Switch the green product tags on and off via the tag icon at the bottom of each photo’s page.) Then tell us: Which would you choose?
