3 Guest Bathroom Décor Ideas
As the holiday season approaches, many of us are preparing to welcome family and friends from out of town. Getting ready for houseguests might involve deep cleaning the house, preparing the guest room, or even checking air mattresses for leaks! In the bustle of prepping your home, don’t overlook the guest bathroom. Your loved ones will feel extra cared for when the bathroom they use has some thoughtful amenities and a few key improvements.
Add More Storage Options
When traveling, it’s very nice to have convenient spots to store your clothing rather than living out of a suitcase. You can make the guest bathroom more user-friendly for your visitors by providing extra storage options, including:
-
A sleeve over robe hook added to the glass shower enclosure
-
Glass wall shelves on metal shelf clamps in the same finish as the room’s other hardware
-
A bin for dirty laundry lined with a bag your guests can take away with them
-
A new toothbrush holder
-
A shower stool, hanging caddy, or shelf that’s installed with suction cups
The same principle is helpful for prepping the guest bedroom, where it’s nice to have an empty dresser as well as benches and chairs where bags, suitcases, and totes can be placed.
Update the Shower Area
Take the following steps to ensure that your guests feel like they’re at a luxury hotel.
-
Deep clean the shower area, making sure to get frequently missed areas such as grout lines.
-
Consider upgrading the shower door handle to a stylish modern pull.
-
Add one or more items in line with today’s trends. Options include a shower plant or a teak stool.
-
Get a spa-inspired bath mat.
-
Switch to Turkish cotton or linen towels.
-
Update the shower head and consider getting something special like LED lighting or an aromatherapy kit.
-
If time and money allow, have the shower curtain replaced with custom glass shower doors
-
Stock the shower with high end shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Have a basket of extra toiletry items in case your guests forgot an item like a razor or sponge.
Add Holiday or Seasonal Accent Items
If your guests are coming for a specific holiday like Thanksgiving or Christmas, add some whimsical holiday touches to the bathroom. Options include:
-
Adding themed hand towels
-
Temporarily replacing a wall hanging with a holiday print
-
Hanging a wreath on the door
Alternatively, you can introduce seasonal décor that is not holiday-specific. Think a pitcher on the vanity counter filled with branches of autumn leaves or evergreen
boughs. You could also do a bowl of pine cones or ornamental gourds. In keeping with the season, you also want to make sure your guests stay warm. Bring in a space heater if needed or install a heated towel rack.
