Installing a floating vanity can save some floor space, especially when making a small room feel more spacious. Another good idea is to introduce a squiggle mirror to make the half bathroom stand out or add a gallery wall for hanging framed artwork, drawings, memories, or anything else.

Because half bathrooms are small spaces by definition, there should be no more than one or two main elements to prevent overwhelming the person entering. There should be one main piece, like an unexpected mirror or a brightly painted vanity. A great piece of artwork is also a good idea.

Bold Colors, Bold Statement

One great idea is to increase the drama by using painted stripes. The stripes will make the room more stylish and make it more spacious. Another good way to introduce bold colors is to use wallpaper, which can create a vibrant atmosphere. And because the space is small, a few rolls of wallpaper will cover everything on a small budget.

Using a single daring color is also a great idea, and a patterned floor will make a bold statement. Some designers prefer shiplap to add a unique pattern and texture to the half bathroom. Shiplap can help clean a space of visual clutter while keeping things simple. There is also a trend to use a black-and-white color palette in half bathrooms. It is a classic color combination and can be applied to everything in the room, from the walls and floors to the vanity, accessories, and even artwork. Finally, storage remains crucial. Good ideas here are to create an over-toilet storage ladder or install a stylish towel rack or medicine cabinet. Other storage options include hang baskets, organizers, magnetic strips, and more.
