24 Best Guest Bathroom Ideas

For easy storage, create a location for the built-in shelves. You can use them to hold extra towels and baskets full of essential toiletries.

Two-tone walls bring dimension to any design. Keep the bottom half of the wall in a solid color, then add patterned wallpaper on top. This can be done throughout the space or in a section that you want to highlight.

Black and white is a timeless color combination, especially in bathrooms. Mix black lighting, hardware and trim to provide dramatic contrast and depth.

Floral wallpaper and herringbone tiles in coordinating hues work well together. Go for a medium or deep blue to give a relaxed feel.

If you want to keep the rest of your bathroom in one hue, paint the vanity in a statement hue, like a bold cobalt blue, for a welcome splash of color.

Spending time in nature soothes the heart and mind, so installing botanically inspired wallpaper is an easy way to make the room more enjoyable for everyone in it.

If you are only looking to make slight changes to your bathroom design, bring in gold accents to add a touch of elegance.

Mix dark and light by keeping the walls white and incorporating wood accents throughout. A patterned rug is the perfect finishing touch.

Not only is the arched entryway a striking statement, but the marble seating inside enhances bath security, which is ideal for guests who require it.

If your guest bathroom is mostly one color, change the flooring to add interest. Choose a tile color and design that will really pop against the walls, like the one pictured here.

Give your bathroom a modern upgrade by hanging a curved mirror and installing a terrazzo vanity top.

Place a makeup vanity in an unused corner to give your guests a designated spot to get ready for the day. Slide the stool under the vanity when not in use to free up floor space.

Hanging a chandelier above the tub brings the drama, while a warm-toned runner adds cozy contrast. By placing your bathtub in front of a bay window, your guests will be able to enjoy the natural light streaming through it.

If your bathroom is large enough, separate it into two sections: a seating area for quality rest and rest, and finally everything else.

Warm up an all-white bathroom with an array of earthy accents, from a rattan pendant to a slate bamboo bath mat.

Plants bring life to any space. Scatter a few air-purifying plants around the room — inside the shower, along the windowsill, hanging from the ceiling, and more — to create a sense of calm.

Although just as functional as a traditional swing door, a pocket door is ideal if you’re working with limited floor space. Certain styles, like a farmhouse-inspired barn door, make any room feel warmer and more inviting.

Cover the inside of your medicine cabinet with chalkboard paint to leave positive notes for your guests. You can even write a list of everything they can use for free and where to find it.

Stock your bathroom with everything your guests might need, including a range of towels on a metal rack (this one is actually designed for water bottles). Place it directly on the floor or mount it on the wall for easy access.

If you don’t want to close off your small guest bathroom, make sure the pedestal sink and surrounding tiles are in the same color scheme.

Large windows give the room an open and airy feel. The bay window alcove also provides additional storage space – or in this case, the perfect spot for a freestanding tub.

Make sure everything is ready and in one place. Opt for Flemish or frosted glass panels to keep supplies out of sight.
