11 Ways You Can Design Your Guest Bathroom

March 20, 2023
  • Share

The power of a beautiful powder room! The powder room or what some call a “half bath” is one room in your home where you can let your imagination run wild. I always love visiting friends’ homes or even touring new real estate to discover a unique powder room design. They’re usually small spaces that pack a punch. You can design your guest bathroom to be a beautifully neutral space for guests to feel comfortable. Or create a room that aims to be impressive with bold patterns and unique textures. I’ve rounded up 11 ideas for your powder room to spark some inspiration.

The first powder room of the round-up is the above bright and clean space designed by Ashe Leandro.

2. Timeless Neutral Contrast Powder Room

A timeless bathroom consists of clean lines, neutral color palettes, and natural materials. The most common materials used are natural stones like marble, ceramic, and porcelain. This bathroom style focuses on functionality and ergonomic design.

What’s the Difference Between Powder Room & Regular Bathroom?

A powder room is a smaller bathroom space without a shower or bathtub. It has fewer amenities, which is why it also has the nickname “half-bath.” It is usually a space near the living room area for guests. A powder room is a safe space for guests to take breaks and freshen up during dinner parties and other social gatherings at the home.

3. Traditional Powder Room with a Modern Twist

A traditional powder room is the most common. Give it a modern twist with bronze sconces and a dark vanity for some contrast.

For those who aren’t afraid of a darker color scheme. Go for an all-black guest bathroom to leave a lasting impression on your guests.

5. Pretty & Pink

Guests don’t always expect a pink bathroom. Cover your bathroom walls in serene pink hues made of ceramic tiles or stone. Contrast the pink design with a modern vanity.

6. Bathroom With Texture & Sophistication

Creating a sophisticated guest bathroom requires a balance of natural elements and rich color schemes. A vanity with exposed piping gives an industrial look that ties the whole space together.

7. Florals for the Powder Room…Groundbreaking!

If you’re not afraid of a little drama, then decorate your guest bathroom with large floral motifs. It’s a unique technique to create dimension in a tiny room. You can even create an accent wall behind the vanity if you prefer a minimal style.

8. Deep Blue Bathroom

One of the most popular color choices for a guest bathroom is blue. The guest room above features a deep and rich shade that works for both modern and traditional-style bathrooms. A similar color is Van Deusen Blue by Benjamine Moore.

Blush tones are trending for 2023. A powder bathroom is a great space to incorporate the feminine hue into your home. It’s the chic color that will elevate a tiny space. Add gold accents to add a luxurious twist.

10. Moody And Earthy Colors

Earthy color schemes can transform a small guest bathroom into a luxe powder room. Incorporate raw materials and a unique marble vanity to create some drama. Add your own personal style by styling a vintage mirror over the vanity and art pieces.

11. Accent Flooring

Design by @ParkandOakDesign

Let the floor do all of the talking. Choose a rich solid color for the walls and add unique tile to add that “wow” factor! Use the vanity design to pull colors from the tile to create a cohesive design.

I know most of these images are just powder rooms, but I think they’re great inspirations for bathroom remodels as well. One of my main concerns while designing the guest bathroom at the COCOCOZY Design House was that I wanted the space to be timeless. I focused on classic elements that aren’t too trendy. A lot of people can get drawn to trending design styles that will age out in five years. This can become an issue later on when you want to sell your home. That’s why I went with a neutral color palette for my bathroom remodels. Let me know which guest room design is your favorite!

Today is my birthday but...I don’t want to celeb Today is my birthday but...I don’t want to celebrate...I want to help.
I want to make a meaningful impact in our greater Los Angeles community suffering from the fires. I invite you to join me in transforming birthday wishes into support for one local organization on the ground in Pasadena/Altadena.
I have made a contribution today already to the LA Fire Relief Fund created by @victorybiblechurch in Pasadena. They are actively assisting families in need in both Pasadena and Altadena who have been affected by the devastating Eaton Fire.
Although I don't have a personal connection to Pastor DeCuir or the church, I was searching for an organization that is helping in the Altadena area. A well respected civil rights attorney I follow @leemerrittesq is on the ground helping the church members and community members with legal services in the wake of the fires. I hope by contributing to their efforts, we can extend a helping hand to those facing significant challenges during this difficult time
To donate, please visit their website at https://vbcpasadena.org/ (link in bio as well). Every contribution, no matter the size, brings hope and relief to those who need it most. Tell them you heard about them from me.
Your generosity to the Los Angeles community is the best birthday gift I could ask for.

Happy New Year! 🎉✨ As we step into this freshHappy New Year! 🎉✨ As we step into this fresh chapter, I’m reminded of the beauty of starting anew and I like recommitting to goals at the top of the year. Nothing set in stone but just an overall vision of what I'd like to do and who I would hope to help along the way.
This year, my mantra is: **dream big, act boldly, treasure the small joys, continue to lead with kindness and to have as much empathy as possible for others **. Just a few things...😂
I’m also deeply committed to helping people who follow along to achieve their dreams. I'll be curating captivating interior design inspiration with COCOCOZY that will hopefully give you ideas and dreams for your own space. I will also be empowering you to realize the value of your influence with Chirpyest by earning cash back for sharing and shopping. I hope to be open about the journey of the COCOCOZY product line. I want to share real time behind the scenes how the line is being built and how we are growing Chirpyest; both examples of the not so linear journey of building businesses from the ground up. I hope these stories spark you to push your own boundaries and shake out of your comfort zones.
Lastly, in 2025, I’m committed to surrounding myself with people who have a positive vibe about them while striving to be that same light for others. Luckily, I have a great start on this with an amazing family and fantastic group of friends - a fantastic support network.
My wish for you in 2025: May this year bring you clarity, courage, and the confidence to pursue all that makes you happy.
What’s one thing you’re committing to in 2025? Let’s inspire each other in the comments! 💬❤️
Let's get to this...am ready 2025!
