From in-laws to longtime friends, giving your loved ones a well-designed, luxury guest bathroom is equal parts practical and rewarding. While shorter visits may suffice with an impressive powder room revamp, longer stays feel more manageable when guests have their own space to get ready and enjoy. In turn, these areas streamline the function of your home, cutting down the chaos that may result from overnight accommodations.

In addition to common niceties, these long-term guest bathroom installations will ensure your home feels hospitable, all while prioritizing your comfort along the way.

First Impression Flair: Clever Door Hardware


As with any room in your home, first impressions make a world of difference. When guests approach their stylish en-suite, using natural, inviting door hardware like the Vanisa Interior Door Set brings a welcoming touch that traditional accommodations often forget. Contrary to understated metal levers, the Vanisa’s wooden handle greets guests with warmth and a lived-in look.

Guest Bathroom Tip:


For added privacy, install pocket doors around the toilet area of your guest bath. Additionally, adorning them with appropriate hardware, like the Elongated Oval Recessed Pocket Door Pull, adds a subtle yet appreciated element to any space.

Spacious Storage Options: Bathroom Vanity Ideas

Perfect for primary and guest bathrooms alike, spacious double vanities, like the Novak vanity pictured here, provide ample storage opportunities for everyday essentials. From keeping unsightly clutter at bay to organizing small toiletries, these centerpieces allow guests to comfortably unpack and keep their belongings within reach. Additionally, a double vanity in your spare bathroom gives you options for overflow storage from other areas of your home.

To optimize your vanity installation, consider sleek faucet configurations and LED mirrors. As seen here, a pair of Drea Widespread Faucets and Morse Tunable LED Mirrors are placed on either side of the Novak, inviting guests to get ready in style. For added luxury, the Morse’s touch-controlled sensor allows visitors to customize the lighting temperature based on their individual needs.

If you want to be the host with the most, consider stocking your vanity with basics that will help guests throughout their stay. Items such as soaps, toilet paper, and personal hygiene products will make them feel at home while giving them access to things they may have forgotten.

Soak in Style: Spa-Worthy Freestanding Tubs

If you’re looking to bring the ultimate luxury to visitors, a freestanding or soaking tub will allow them to unwind after the day’s activities. Additionally, freestanding tubs give guests with children the option of bathing in a safer, less slippery environment. After all, accommodation is key to ensuring your loved ones have a pleasant stay.

As demonstrated by the bestselling Hibiscus Rectangular Freestanding Tub, this spacious installation’s angular silhouette will enable guests to recline and relax. However, depending on your preferences and size constrictions, different shapes will deliver varying results, and we encourage you to check out our Freestanding Tub Buying Guide for the perfect fit.
