Holidays are synonymous with entertaining. And if you’re having friends over, don’t neglect the bathrooms, when creating your to-do list.

A guest bath can be fun and elegant. Since they’re typically small, you can perk them up for next to nothing.

Put yourself in your guest’s position. First on my list is that the space is pristine. Keep a roll of paper towels, glass cleaner handy for quick clean up’s. Countertops, mirrors, sinks, floors and toilet bowls should be company-ready. Make sure there are fresh towels, an empty waste basket and surplus t.p.

If you have the time and money, paint, cabinet pulls, and fixtures can transform a bathroom quickly. Same goes for lighting. Glossy paint finishes are popular in the bath and reflect light, while adding a luxe look. Have some fun with quality finishes. Let your guests feel welcome and pampered!
