Space & Budget Guidance
Small Space Tips
Tuscan can feel heavy in small spaces. Focus on warm colors rather than heavy textures, use wrought iron as accents, and limit terra cotta to accessories. Keep the warmth while reducing visual weight. For a small powder room: Most powder rooms are small by nature (20-30 sq ft). Use every inch intentionally. Wall-mount sinks, corner toilets, and pocket doors maximize space. Go bold on walls since small spaces can handle dra
Large Space Tips
Large Tuscan spaces embrace arched doorways, textured walls, generous furniture, and abundant Mediterranean accessories. The warmth handles volume without feeling cold. In a larger powder room: Very large powder rooms are rare but can include premium fixtures, elaborate millwork, and full vanities with storage—though at some point it becomes a half bath rather than powder room.
Budget-Friendly
Paint walls in warm Tuscan colors, add wrought iron accessories (candle holders, frames), and find Mediterranean pottery at discount stores. Focus on color and texture over expensive finishes.
Luxury Approach
Install authentic terra cotta flooring, commission custom ironwork, source antique Italian furniture, and create full Tuscan environments with professional design help.
