Fresh Ideas to Remodel Your Half Bathroom

Half baths are often trouble spots for many people considering remodeling their homes; they’re so small that many folks just don’t know how to spruce it up. Often, homeowners neglect doing any updates at all, leaving the space as it is. But with a little creativity and inspiration, there are endless ways to update a half bath during a home remodel. 

Designer Dove Brown weighs in on fresh ideas for your powder rooms, basement bathrooms, and guest bathrooms, as you bring these small but oft-used rooms to the top of the to-do list! 

Get Creative With Vanities And Sinks

Pedestal sinks often save space over large vanities (which can absolutely work in many small bathrooms!), some offering storage shelves for small items. Mounted sinks free up a bit of space below them, while undermount sinks can free up valuable countertop space. Getting creative can also open up more space in the room. Oddly shaped vanities—like a round one without corners—can improve the flow of traffic in a cramped bathroom by eliminating sharp corners.

Replace an Unattractive Toilet

The toilet is the focal point of the room—and usually the reason why people enter the half bath in the first place. Why not make the main attraction a little more attractive? Today’s models emphasize comfort and appearance, and many even have water-saving options and multiple flushing capabilities. Replacing an outdated toilet enhances the appearance of the room, in addition to benefiting the environment and possibly even shaving a few bucks off the water bill.

Freshen Up Your Accessories

New vanity finishings, doorknobs, light switches, toilet paper holders, and towel racks can modernize the room. Paint can also go a long way in transforming the space; large-scale patterns, accent walls, and pops of color can make the small room feel larger.
