Why Create a Luxury Guest Bathroom?
You could choose to make any room of your house more luxurious with a handful of design and functional upgrades, so why should you choose the guest bathroom?
- First impressions. When hosting someone for the first time, or showing off your new house to someone who hasn’t seen you in a while, the guest bathroom is going to be one of the first rooms that makes a genuine impression. Your guest will, consciously or unconsciously, reflect on the quality of the entire environment based on what they see in the bathrooms they encounter.
- Guest comfort. A bathroom is also a place where guests will be relieving themselves, cleaning themselves, and getting themselves ready for bed. It’s critically important that this room is fully stocked, fully functional, and comfortable.
- Occasional indulgences. Having a luxury guest bathroom in your house can also serve as an opportunity for your own occasional indulgences. If your main bathroom is currently dirty or unkempt, and you don’t have time to clean it, you can jump into the guest bathroom for what you need and feel like you’re visiting an entirely different location.

How to Make Your Guest Bathroom More Luxurious
These are some of the best strategies for making your guest bathroom more luxurious.
- Install a heated bidet toilet seat. According to Bidet Mate, a heated bidet toilet seat is one of the most important luxury purchases you can make for your guest bathroom. A heated bidet toilet seat has a few interesting functions that make the bathroom experience much more pleasant. For starters, the toilet seat is more comfortable than a standard toilet seat – and it comes with a heating element that makes winter bathroom visits much more welcoming. This item also comes with a bidet attachment, allowing your guests to clean themselves with water, rather than using toilet paper. While not all your guests will be used to this cleaning system, people all over the world agree that it’s the superior one – and one that’s certainly worth trying.
- Upgrade the towels and washcloths. One relatively inexpensive upgrade that can instantly make your bathrooms seem more luxurious is purchasing new towels and washcloths. If you’re willing to spend a bit of extra money on a reputable brand, you can get clothes that are much softer, more absorbent, and more comfortable for the person using them. Even better, if you’re buying something of high quality, chances are, it will last much longer.
- Add a couple of plants. Have you ever felt a bit happier after looking at an indoor plant? That’s not your imagination; plants have the potential to boost our mood. They can relieve stress, improve optimism, and even make you feel more energetic or productive. Accordingly, you should consider placing a couple of indoor plants in your guest bathroom environment.
- Invest in a smart speaker. Smart speakers vary in price depending on which brand you’re buying, the size of the speaker you’re buying, and a few other variables. If you want to make your guest bathroom look more modern or more upgraded, simply include a smart speaker with a set of instructions for guests to use it. This way, your guests can listen to music or podcasts and get access to news and information when they’re getting ready.

- Include some essentials. Consider stocking the bathroom with a handful of essentials, like an extra toothbrush, miniature soaps, lotion, and cotton swabs. If your guest forgets to bring something, they can tap into your supply without having to make a separate trip to the store. Also, it helps to have a wide variety of options to choose from; having multiple different types of soap available, for example, to make sure your bathroom is appealing to anyone who might use it.
- Flesh out the storage options. If your guest is going to stay for multiple nights, they’ll probably want to have some storage space for themselves. If you already have a vanity, cabinets, and an ample selection of other storage options, you may not have to make any improvements. Otherwise, consider finding space for more basic storage for your guests.
- Consider picking a theme. Some people try to make their guest bathroom more interesting or more inviting by choosing and fleshing out a theme for it. Choose paint colors, wall art, and other decorative items to be in line with whatever theme you select.
- Make a robe and slippers available. It’s a small touch, but one that’s worth investing in. Buy a guest robe (or multiple), complete with matching slippers. When they’re finished getting ready for bed or waking up in the morning, they can slip on these luxury pieces of attire and feel spoiled.
- Choose a neutral color scheme. If you haven’t chosen a specific theme for your guest bathroom, consider painting it a neutral color. Neutral colors may seem a bit bland, but they are inoffensive and they give you much more freedom and flexibility when it comes to other decorations. Consider keeping your core color scheme light, so you can make bolder choices as you see fit.
- Embellish with a few accents. Want to make a big difference in the design of the bathroom without spending too much money? Add a few accents. A splash of brightly colored paint or a subtle decorative addition can make a huge difference in an otherwise uninteresting room.
