For the first time in my apartment renting life, I have a second bathroom (technically a half bath, but still). And obviously, that means the chance to decorate.
Since it’s not the bathroom I use every morning, I plan on making it bright and cheerful and more geared towards when we have friends visit or guests stay over. That being said, I don’t exactly want to break the bank on the room that will get the least use in the house. Above are a few suggestions on how to make things welcoming while also staying on budget.
Nest: In a small room, a soft and pretty rug goes a long way in adding some life. I plan on using this Urban Outfitters geometric rug as the starting point and adding art to the walls that is in the same range of colors.
Dressed: I once read that Kelly Ripa bought hundreds of pairs of hotel slippers so that whenever she has guests she can put out a fresh pair for each of them. Clearly that’s beyond my means, but a nice robe (freshly washed for each guest) is a nice touch in case they want to throw it on over their pajamas before breakfast. This Gap Body option is now on sale.
The Rest: Bar soap has no place in a guest bathroom. These foaming soaps from Target are just a few bucks, smell clean but not overpowering, and have pretty packaging. It’s the little things that make people want to visit your home again, I swear.
