20 Guest Bathroom Ideas Your Guests Will Love!

Now that you’re done with all of your big home renovations, like the kitchen and master bathroom, let’s take a look at the unsung hero of your home – the guest bathroom.

You know, the tiny room you’ve been ignoring ever since you moved in, hoping no one would use it?

Well, your guests have been using it and they’ve noticed the questionable hand towel that was maybe white once upon a time!

Let’s be real, that bathroom is not really an oasis, but a last resort, so buckle up because it’s time to transform that neglected nook into a space that your guests might mistake for a mini spa!

So, whether you’re aiming for a ”luxury resort” or a ”cozy spa,” we’ve got you covered with amazing ideas that will make your guest bathroom the star of the show! 

1. Change Out the Towels

Apart from upgrading your sink and toilet, the other most noticeable feature of your guest bathroom is the towels! They are the most used thing in there!

Get a fresh set of towels and display them in the bathroom!

2. Upgrade Your Shower

Now, while not many guests will shower when they come over for coffee, there will be the occasional friend sleeping over so you’ll need to offer them hotel-like vibes. They are your guest after all!

3. Ample Lighting

Don’t let your guest bathroom be dark because, in no time, your guests will be stumbling around trying to cop a feel of the sink in search of toilet paper or towels!

4. Keep Clutter to a Minimum

This isn’t your master bath, so there’s no need to keep around dozens of soaps, toilet paper, and shower items! Keep these things to a minimum and only store necessities!

5. Turn Your Toilet into a Throne

If you want to add more visual interest, apart from the obvious moves like wallpaper and color, try creating a structure around your bathroom!

It certainly doesn’t have to be as extravagant as in the picture, but you get the gist!

6. Spa Feeling

Add details you might see at spas to give your guests that hotel vibe! The tile and square toilet and sink give it a touch of modernity!

7. Display the Essentials

Set out spare toothbrushes, soaps, towels, and extra toilet paper for your guests to avoid awkward moments!

8. Fancy Sink

Instead of the regular old white, opt for a sink that will draw attention! You can prioritize style over function in your guest bathroom since it won’t be as used!

9. Hang Up Some Paintings!

Since you won’t be using every nook and cranny to create space for your things, you can decorate your guest bathroom how you like! The best go-tos are paintings and artwork in general!

10. Industrial Beauty

You can even try out different styles in your guest bathroom! This beautiful industrial bathroom features a beautiful sink and a wood-like tile!

11. Moody and Gloomy

While this bathroom is painted a dark color, it still isn’t dark! You can have a moody bathroom that you can still see in!

12. Light It Up

Get creative with lighting in your guest bathroom! Apart from the regular ceiling light, you can have fun with different wall lights and sconces!

13. Black and Gold

A timeless moody style that will surely leave your guests feeling like they just stepped into a luxury hotel bathroom!

14. Opt for Light-Up Mirrors

Light-up mirrors can elevate any space and they provide extra ambiance light that can transform a smaller bathroom and make it feel bigger!

15. Add Seating

A small pouf or ottoman can be handy in a guest bathroom if you have space for it of course!

Your guests can set down their belongings or even sit down if they need to touch up their makeup!

16. Be Bold!

This stunning guest bathroom may not use a lot of colors but it sure goes all out with pattern! Minimal color keeps it classy but the patterns add character!

17. Add Wooden Accents

Bathrooms can come off as cold because of the tile used, so opt for things that are seemingly made out of wood, but are water-friendly!

Wooden furniture, shelves and even tile that resemble wood can upgrade your bathroom into a warm oasis!

18. Play with Windows

Bathroom windows can sometimes be placed in inconvenient places and they might infringe on your privacy! One way to offer your guests more privacy is by somewhat blocking the window!

The idea in the picture still offers plenty of natural light while giving you privacy without the use of boring old blinds!

19. Rustic Haven

Incorporate rustic pieces and natural materials like wood and stone to give your bathroom that rustic charm!

Along with wood and stone, opt for brass or gold fixtures to give your bathroom timeless charm!

20. Keep It Whimsical!

Make your guests feel like they just stepped into a fairytale by going for floral or fruity wallpaper, artwork, and cute plants that can instantly elevate a space!

Plus the humidity of the bathroom will be good for your flowers and plants!
