A mirrored chest of drawers has been transformed into a vanity with sink in this home’s powder room…the gilt mirror, shaded sconces and the pink “fan” wallpaper all create a feeling of decadent luxe. (above)

Day 3 of BATH WEEK on COCOCOZY! Thank you for your reader submissions. Will be doing a whole post on those…so if you have more remodel or great bath photos, please send in…designers and non-designers alike.

Now onto today’s BATH WEEK post…

Webster’s definition of the word “plucky” is “marked by courage”, “spirited”, “brave”.

These small powder rooms fit the design definition of “plucky” to the tee. All are quite courageous with design, they are certainly spirited and lively in feel, and the designers were brave in making well edited but bold decor statements.

Think if one is going to get plucky in their decorating…a small powder room is the place to do it! Hope you enjoy!

Not your average zebra print – Gold hardware and accents shine on as a herd of Zebras gallops across the walls of a small powder room. (above)

Which of these baths is your favorite? How plucky would you get with powder room design?

Have a great Wednesday!

Coco

    Really love the first bathroom and the way the paper reflects off the mirrored base and the base all but disappears

    I think the one by Palmer Weiss is my favorite! I love how creative people have gotten in powder rooms – when we redo our powder room (really a full bath – but for our guests) I really want to do something fun and plucky! I just have to keep it somewhat relatable to most people since we won’t be living her forever!

Drapes or no drapes? 👀 One room, two very differe Drapes or no drapes? 👀
One room, two very different feelings.
Without the drapes, the space feels bright, open, and minimal. Add the drapes, and suddenly there’s more softness, warmth, and texture.
This was one of the details we loved playing with in the COCOCOZY Design House. Sometimes a simple window treatment can completely change the feeling of a room.
Which would you choose for this space: WITH DRAPES or WITHOUT? Tell us below. 🤍
Paint gets all the credit. Wallpaper does the actu Paint gets all the credit. Wallpaper does the actual work.
Delicate florals in a powder room, a full-envelope ikat entry, a moody botanical pantry, a pattern bold enough to wear the whole room — six spaces, zero fear of commitment.
Which one would you live with every day? Drop your answer 👇

A dining room should make people want to stay past A dining room should make people want to stay past dessert.
Seven rooms that all get the basics right: good light, a table with presence, chairs you’d actually want to sit in for two hours.
Which one would you set the table in tonight? 👇

Alexis Banks Humiston didn’t just design this 9,20 Alexis Banks Humiston didn’t just design this 9,200 sq ft Nashville home, she moved in with the family for two days first.
She interviewed everyone, including the 6 and 8-year-olds, before touching a wall. The payoff shows up in the details: a hand-painted constellation ceiling in the son’s room by @willemrackestudio, a floral canopy bed for the daughter, and a hidden reclaimed-wood bar tucked into the attic eaves.
Every room feels like it was made to be lived in, not admired.
