Budget Decorating Ideas for Your Guest Bathroom

Off-White Palette

If your guest bath is really tiny, consider decorating it with a white and off-white palette. Not only will it help to create a calming effect but will also create an illusion of space. Moreover, you will be surprised what a new coat of paint can do to upgrade the look. Also, go big with the mirror over the bathroom’s vanity. If you already have a mirror installed, consider framing it out with some inexpensive molding painted is a shade that compliments the space. Installing a small no-fog bath mirror to the shower area is also a great way to decorate on a budget. Mirrors are a great way to make a small bathroom look larger.

Add New Hardware and Wall Decor

When it comes to bathroom wall decor, don’t be afraid to go big. If space allows, an extra-large piece of artwork or an oversized flea market find can really help balance bare walls. You can also create a focal point with multiples of a single patterned item. A grouping of three to five pieces can make a big impact and is visually stimulating for a smaller bath. Another interesting way to decorate walls in the guest bath is by hanging framed inspirational quotes. Simply print and showcase them in a black and white stock picture frames.

Nothing dresses up the room like shiny, new hardware, and there is a lot of it in the bathroom including sink faucets, cabinet knobs, towel bars, and toilet flush handles. Set aside part of your budget to upgrade these items. Only for a few dollars you can update to a sleek style in burnished bronze or brushed chrome and give your guest bath a fresh, updated look. Hardware for the vanity that complements other finishes in the area is a wonderful final touch.

Accessorize Your Guest Bathroom

Add those touches that will make the buyers feel welcome while bringing beauty to space. Invest a little in those smart vanity accessories including soap pumps, lotion, a bathroom scale, matching soap dish, an electric toothbrush, and stylish wastebasket. Fluffy new towels are also a must. Roll them artfully and place them on a rack or in a big wicker basket. Finish the look with a few strategically placed decorative candles and bath salts infused with mild essential oil. Alternatively, a bundle of fresh rosemary sprigs or thyme tied with a pretty satin ribbon could make for a beautiful sight and scent.

The bathroom may be the home’s smallest area but showing off a clean, spa-like bath is what appeals to buyers. The best part? You don’t have to spend a fortune on it. You can get an elegant and enviable look on a budget with the above decorating ideas. While implementing them, think about what you look for in a bath when you stay at a nice hotel and try to recreate it for the potential buyers. A clean, comfortable, and functional space can really go a long way towards making them feel welcome.
