If you’re often playing host to a stream of guests coming through your home, chances are you’ve created a guest bedroom to comfortably accommodate these frequent visitors. This allows you to provide a cozy place for your friends and family members to stay without relegating them to your couch or bunking up with in one of your children’s rooms.
To go along with the convenience of your extra bedroom, you may also want to consider designing a guest bathroom in your house as well. Here are a few home decor tricks to keep in mind for creating a cozy space for your guests to freshen up.
Stick with travertine tiles
Bathrooms don’t usually require an abundance of design elements for an attractive design scheme. Because of this simplicity, you need to get the most out of the basic decor elements you do use.
For a bathroom floor that is attractive, durable and comfortable, you can rely on travertine tiles to get the job done. Not only is travertine installation available in a wide variety of textures, colors and styles, but they’re strong enough to resist the wear and tear your guests can subject them to during their stay.
Provide plenty of storage
A functional guest bathroom requires enough storage space for visitors to stash their toothbrushes, toothpaste, hair brushes, shampoos, soaps and other toiletries. A chest of drawers or cabinet space will allow company to privately store any bathroom necessities.
Echo elements of the guest bedroom
If you’re looking for a way to unify the aesthetic between the guest bedroom and bathroom, consider echoing some of the decor accents in the space. For instance, you can purchase similar floral patterned window curtains for the bathroom to mimic the flowery designs in the bedroom.
In addition to window dressings, floor mats and area rugs are great accents to recreate colors, patterns and textures in the two rooms. You may also want to hang up a similar portrait or painting to match those you used in the bedroom.
Maximize lighting fixtures
You can never have enough illumination in a bathroom, so be sure to focus your efforts on utilizing lighting fixtures. In addition to vanity lights, an overhead pendant light or chandelier can provide a unique decorative edge while also boosting visibility.
