powder rooms
Small in scale, yet capable of extraordinary impact.
As one of the most guest-facing rooms in an interior, the powder room deserves the same level of consideration as the principal spaces. Hand-painted murals, metallic plasters, layered glazes, and tactile finishes can transform its limited footprint into an intimate, memorable environment.
Because the room is self-contained, designers can explore richer color, stronger pattern, and more expressive surfaces with greater confidence. The most successful treatments remain carefully edited—allowing material, light, and ornament to create distinction without making the space feel visually crowded.
Chinoiserie in Antique Gold
A jewel-box powder room where ornament flows from ceiling to wall.
Set against an antique gold ground, flowering branches descend continuously across both planes, dissolving the room’s boundaries. Birds punctuate the composition with delicate movement, while the vertical rhythm balances the mirror and fixtures. The result is luminous, intimate, and exquisitely composed.

The Draped Chamber
A theatrical powder room shaped by illusion, color, and ornamental drama.
Hand-painted trompe-l’œil drapery transforms the walls into an intimate stage, drawing from Baroque traditions of illusionistic interiors. Deep sapphire folds, gilded tassels, and flashes of crimson create a rich counterpoint to the warm yellow ground, carved timber, and red stone vanity. The mirror multipl
The Garden Passage
An immersive pastoral mural that extends the powder room into an imagined landscape.
A winding stone path, layered planting, and a distant garden gate create convincing spatial recession across the wall. The sculptural basin and branch-like faucet are incorporated into the scene as functional garden elements, dissolving the boundary between fixture and artwork. Rich botanical col
Filipiniana Toile
A personalized narrative mural rooted in Philippine colonial visual culture.
This MIKRA signature reinterprets toile de Jouy through Filipino imagery drawn from the Spanish and American colonial eras. Hibiscus, banana leaves, Maria Clara figures, and men in barong Tagalog unfold across the walls in a refined monochrome composition. The family’s “T” monogram is woven into the patte
