Embrace the angles of an under-stair powder room by painting the space in a daring hue à la Jennifer Koran. Instead of leaving the paneled walls and sloped ceiling of her—gasp!—19-inch wide powder room neutral, she enveloped the space in Instagram’s favorite deep green Current Mood to forge a cozy, cocoon-like effect.
Don’t forget to paint the door
