Never underestimate the power of a good guest bathroom. It’s often one of the first rooms your guests will venture into, and as such, it should feel cohesive with the rest of your home. Creating a stunning guest bathroom can make your home more accessible, feel more organized and increase the value of your property. Whether you’re thinking of adding a half-bath to the first floor or expanding the guest suite with a powder room, we’ve got a list of tips to help you get started.
When starting your bathroom renovation, selecting floors is a crucial first step. This floor should set the mood for the rest of your design and act as a canvas that you can work off of. Draw the eye downward with a stunning floor pattern. The type of flooring you choose is influenced by what style of powder room you’re aiming to create.
Impress your guests by finding one piece in your bathroom that you would like to be your focal point. Maybe this is a freestanding copper sink, a bold accent wall, or a classic marble vanity. Whatever your design style may be, focus on one area of the bathroom that you want to draw the eye to and give it a little extra love.
Treat yourself and your guests by upgrading the hardware in your guest bath. This can be as big of a project as you want it to be from installing a new sink or that porcelain deep soak tub you’ve had your eye on to small improvements such as replacing the faucets and upgrading to frameless smart mirrors. Not only will this elevate your bathroom, but it will make it a more convenient experience for guest use.
There’s nothing worse than stepping into a harshly lit bathroom. We’re all too familiar with the fluorescent lighting of gas station bathrooms and your guest bath should be the complete opposite of this. Now, that doesn’t mean that we want low lighting, either, as the bathroom is often a place where guests will come to freshen up. Find a balance with complimentary lighting such as task lighting around the mirror, an overhead flush mount in the ceiling, and wall sconces near the sink.
Perhaps one of the easiest and quickest ways to freshen up your powder room for guests is by adding greenery. Think house plants, potted succulents, eucalyptus branches, and fresh flowers. Greenery can work both ways to liven up a small space or make a spacious bathroom feel cozy.
