Dramatic Powder Rooms....

I always get excited when clients building plans include a guest WC...I immediately think "powder room" and the reason I get excited is that a space like that is just begging to have some drama applied to it.

It's a space where you really don't need to be 100% practical, you're not likely to be applying make up or doing your hair in this space, it's purely for doing your thing and washing your hands. Therefore if you desire a dark, moody space GO FOR IT! If you've fallen in love with a wallpaper but are too scared to use it in a bedroom or elsewhere DO It!

You have the perfect opportunity to fulfill those fantasies that you might have reigned in throughout the rest of the house.

Read on for some stunningly dramatic powder rooms...

Don't be afraid to look at different options for your basin

Or you could go totally bananas and add in a scratch and sniff wallpaper ;)

Don't let a guest bathroom become another bland room, let it shine like the jewel in the crown it was meant to be!

Who needs a Colour and Design Consultant?

Let me tell you who and why someone might need a colour consultant... then think of your friends...think of your coworkers...think of your parents.....and refer them to me! Ta muchly xx

• Your Co Worker.....Time poor young professional kick-ass single or couple who appreciate a beautifully decorated space but just don’t have the time to dedicate to planning the new home.

• Your Friend....who has a young family and has been dragging the kids all over town trying to look at products in bathroom showrooms on the weekends after the kids sports. Trying keep the young ones from swinging off the vanities or dealing with the constant requests for snacks or a toilet stop.

• Your Friend, Sister, Brother, Cousin.....Those first home buyers who have moved from a two bedroom rental into their first family home and suddenly have so many extra rooms to paint and furnish and crappy kitchen with random 'design features' ...they don't know where to start! Especially with, most likely, a limited budget that needs to be spent wisely making the biggest impact.

• Or YOU (or your parents, brother, sister, aunty....) might be planning your new home renovation/build with military like precision but you’re second guessing some of the (million and one) decisions you’re trying make for fixtures and finishes and would like a professional to run their eye over your ideas.

It's not a scary process and it's not just for 'rich people with big budgets'. Isn't it better to make a small investment in professional help to avoid making rush purchases and throwing it all together hoping it will work and then finding out it doesn't?

Trust me. Let me help you. You won't regret it.
