First-floor powder room is a perfect place to add pizazz | Irvine Real Estate | Irvine Homes for Sale

Averaging just 4 feet by 5 feet, the first-floor powder room is the home’s smallest roomYet, it is much used and is often treated as an afterthought during remodeling or is even overlooked altogether.

Still, the half-bath is the ideal spot to splurge on finishes and personal touches that might be too much for a larger room.

The reasons: First, upgrading a small room requires minimal materials, so you will spend less for the bit of granite, tile or other finishes that might bust your budget in a larger room. Second, that little lavatory is one of the few rooms your guests will visit. A powder room with pizzazz can make a big impression on them.
