Ideas that will transform your guest bathroom and amaze your guests as soon as they step through the door

Guests love that spa-like feeling of plush towels that are so incredibly soft and absorbent. No one wants to dry themselves with thin, scratchy towels that are already a few years old. Buy your guests a brand new set of bath towels and hand towels, but don’t go with plain old white. Try a variety of fun colors like mint green or sunset orange to brighten up the room and inject some personality into the area.

A great bathroom design idea is to synchronize your scheme for the basin area. Before you start purchasing anything, make sure that your taps are functioning well and aren’t covered in grime and limescale. If they are a bit old, then this is a good opportunity to look at new designs of basin taps and consider options in chrome, copper, or whatever else sparks your interest.

It’s a great idea to have matching accessorizes around the basin like sleek marble toothbrush holders, liquid soap dispensers, tissue boxes, and trays for odds and ends. It will tie the bathroom together and guests will adore the harmonization, rather than everything in different materials and colors.

Even if you have heated flooring in your bathroom (if you don’t, then get this immediately), a decorative, cozy bath mat is still an absolute must-have. It’s a nice feeling to sink your toes into a thick cotton mat after a shower or bath. Plus, it won’t do to have puddles of water all over your bathroom tiles.

If you want to increase the bathroom coziness up to 11, then ensure you provide a robe for your guests upon arrival. A robe is one of those items that some people never use for themselves at home, but absolutely love them when at a spa or hotel, for example. Give your visitors that same experience with a cozy robe. Your guests will thank you, especially in winter.

While we’re on the topic of winter, there’s nothing better than getting out of the bath or shower and grabbing a towel that is already toasty warm. A towel warmer is often the missing piece of any bathroom, and once you start using it, you’ll wonder how you ever managed before. Plus, it helps to dry the towel so much faster after it has been used.

Bathroom wallpaper is one of the most trending topics in the world of bathroom designs right now. Homeowners are moving away from wallpaper that is plain and simple to exciting and even a bit wacky. There’s nothing wrong with fresh white paint for your guest bathroom, but life is short, so have some fun with some wallpaper designs that gets your guests talking. From pink pineapples to birds in flight to leafy greens, here are some wallpaper ideas for your bathroom.

Your visitors will likely have brought their own items for the bathroom, but just in case they forgot, leave some essential backups, such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothpaste, and even toothbrushes. Remember, you want your guests to feel comfortable on the first night, and it can be stressful if they have forgotten something. They will be more relaxed if there’s everything they need for the bathroom.

For any bathroom, or room for that matter, a lit scented candle when guests arrive is the truest sign of luxury. Fragrances of tropical fruits or forest pines are very welcoming and it’s the best start to any visit. Leave some matches so that your guests can light the candle whenever they want.
