The half-bath in your home, otherwise known as the powder room, is often overlooked during remodeling. This is perhaps due to its small size. Yet, because it is the one room that guests are sure to visit (maybe even more than once), it's a good idea to do something here to make a good impression.
Besides the impression, another great reason for investing in a powder room remodel is that since it's so small you can splurge on higher-end materials that wouldn't be practical in a larger room. Here are some ideas to help you make the most of your remodeling job.
Glass Shelf Hardware
Take the opportunity to splurge on countertops and floors in your powder room. Floors may benefit from a nice natural stone, or perhaps hardwood. If your floor matches the floors outside of the room it'll make the space look bigger when the door is opened. Other ideas for making the space seem larger are oversized floor tiles and a pedestal sink. This will make the space seem less cramped and uncluttered.
All your hardware and fixtures can be updated to give the room a modern look and feel. Antique metals as well as shiny brass give your fixtures a dated look.
Utilize your wall space by hanging a cabinet with a towel rack attached. Put this above the toilet to make the most efficient use of wall space.
Glass tile is a great option for a backsplash. This will provide an impressive look for visitors when they see either clear or colored tiles, the appearance is certainly a unique one.
Don't forget to add molding around baseboards and the top of the walls so that the room doesn't look unfinished.
As a final touch, add a shelf or a hook on the door so your guests will have a place to hang a coat or purse.
