A half bathroom is often the smallest room in the house, but it may also be one of the most useful, providing exactly what you need despite its sometimes-tight quarters and awkward spaces. If you’re looking to add a powder room to improve the function of your home, here are three helpful hints to remember.
1. Placement
Consider locating your new half bath, or powder room, near a laundry area or in a convenient spot that is away from most of the public areas of your home. An underutilized pantry or back hall closet is the perfect place to reinvent into a powder room. You may need to divert some plumbing to your new bathroom, but professional plumbing companies Geneva IL will make quick work of that job and allow you to focus on the fun part of the project – decorating.
2. Decoration
An elegant powder room should include a piece of interesting art or maybe even an antique mirror to inject character. Draw attention to your statement piece with a small picture light that will allow you to focus on the work. You should also carefully select nice linens and special soaps to have on hand for guests.
3. Fixtures
Of course, your bathroom needs to be functional and have the right fixtures. Luckily, you don’t need to install gold-plated taps to make your new bathroom look sophisticated. If your half bath will likely see a lot of use, install a porcelain toilet and pedestal sink. Not only will this look great, it’s a surface that is easy to clean and doesn’t require much maintenance.
Adding an extra bathroom doesn’t have to be an extensive and expensive project. By following these tips, you’ll be confident that you’re ready to tackle this project and create a functional, value-adding feature that you and your guests will be sure to appreciate.
