Give a small bathroom or powder room style, personality, and function with these decor and feature ideas.
Our small townhouse powder room has been overdue for a refresh ever since we moved in.
Here we are five years later, and we’re finally tackling it! (Isn’t that how it always goes?)

I’ve been saving small powder room ideas for years.

What Is “Modern Farmhouse Style”?
As I’ve mentioned before, figuring out your decor style can feel overwhelming! I put together a list of 6 questions to help discover your decor style. Honestly, though, I don’t think you need every detail sorted out to create a home with rooms you love spending time in.
That said, I’ve discovered that I’m drawn to spaces labeled “modern farmhouse style” and “boho style.” I simply blended the two to create my own look! ;) It’s a mix of vintage, cozy, and contemporary with plenty of texture, like wood and galvanized metal.
As you’ll see in the inspiration photos above, modern farmhouse boho also blends in other elements like traditional and cottagecore.
