Do you have a small half-bath or powder room and you’re just not sure what to do with the space? Just because it’s a small area doesn’t mean you can’t make it one of the coolest rooms in the house! Here are some great ideas to make your half-bath pop and get the most out of that small space.
Use a pedestal sink
Floor space in a half bath is at a premium so installing a pedestal sink will clear up a good amount for you. There are some really stylish pedestal sinks you can get that will make your visitors jealous of your sleek and spacious half-bath! If you’re worried about storage, just keep reading – we’ll get to that next!
Use the walls to your advantage
While there may not be a whole lot of floor area for storage, you can use the vertical space in your half-bath to add style and practicality. Putting in floating shelves for soap and towel storage or nice bathroom decorations is a great way to take advantage of the vertical space your walls provide. For extra storage you could even slide some baskets under the lower shelves.
Brighten it up
Mirrors, bright lighting, and a lighter color palette are all ways to give your half bath a bigger feel. Selecting paint and decorations that use tones such as off-white, blue, and green will contribute to making the room look bigger. On the other hand, darker colors will make the space feel more cramped so you should avoid those colors in smaller rooms.
Invest in the high end
Because half-baths and powder rooms are such small areas, you may be able to spend a little more to furnish it. If you only need a piece or two to fill the room, make them high end pieces that will give your half-bath an upscale feel.
Use large tiles
Surprisingly, small tiles in a small room make the room look even smaller. They tend to make the room look cluttered and can also distract from all the other cool things you’ve done with the space. Instead, opt for larger tiles that will actually make the room seem bigger and keep the clutter to a minimum.
