PAPER NOT PLASTIC

The chicest way to update a drab powder room is to add colorful wallpaper with a elegant print. Take these styles from my favorite wall covering maker Thibaut. Notice how the white lav sinks pop against shades of aqua, orange, pink and blue. Incorporate accessories to carry out the theme of the print as well, like a blue chair in the room to mimic the blue chair in the wallpaper. This creates a cohesive look. And with so much color going on with the paper, keep towels white to add a crisp, clean feel-it is a bathroom after all.
