A well-designed guest bathroom will help your visitors feel right at home. With just a few thoughtful additions you can make a great impression. Simple changes—like upgrading a bare vanity with a stylish framed bathroom mirror by MirrorMate—can make a big difference.

Since most guest bathrooms are smaller than the main bath, your challenge is to create a space that’s both functional and beautiful. Even if you don’t have a dedicated bathroom for your guests, you can still make them feel welcome with a few thoughtful decorative elements. It’s all in the details.

Start with a Plan 

Whether you’re thinking about just a few cosmetic changes or a bigger remodel, mapping out your changes beforehand can help you stay on track throughout your project.

Start by gathering ideas and envisioning how you want your bathroom to look and feel. Do you love rustic farmhouse décor, or do you prefer the clean look of minimalist design? Search online for ideas and inspiration. Or create a mood board on your favorite social media site.

Next, decide which changes are most important to you. Do you need extra storage for towels and toiletries? Does the room desperately need new lighting? Jot down all your must-have changes.
