Small Half Bathroom Design

Bathrooms are one of the most significant rooms in your house because it's a place where you begin and end your activity within the day. There are different types of bathrooms and one of which is called "Half Bathroom/Half Bath" that is considered as the smallest type of them all. Half bathrooms are also identified as "powder rooms", "guest bathrooms" or "2-piece bathrooms" that usually has a sink and a toilet but no bathtub and shower.

However, not all families and houses have this type of bathroom since it's not the standard type that every family must have. On the other hand, despite being small in terms of space, you can easily make this small bathroom attractive and interesting through putting up unique designs, materials, and decor. So how can you decorate your half bath to make it comfortable and functional at the same time?

One of these is choosing the right accessories, perhaps a pedestal sink that will add floor space, or open shelves that will help maximize your storage space, or a huge mirror that will double the visual space in your bathroom. It also helps to remove unnecessary items especially those that are space consuming.

Cabinet and drawer space

"It's weird," I thought. "We have ten people in two bathrooms at home. At the beach we often have 20 people using one bathroom. Why is it that half the number of bathrooms for double the usage goes more smoothly? It seems like it should be terribly clogged." Pun intended of course.

Over the years I pondered this situation and saw over and again that it is true; one bathroom at the beach works even better than two at home. By implementing these bathroom-stretching ideas learned from the beach you can s t r e t c h your bathroom without adding on!

The most important principle is simply that at the beach bathroom usage is limited to things you can only do in a bathroom: personal hygiene, bathing, and using the toilet. At home we use the bathroom for so much more. We put on our makeup, style our hair, take our vitamins, do our nails, and many other things in the bathrooms that don't have to be done there. We also often commonly store things there like medicines in "medicine cabinets." In fact, many people even keep reading material by the toilet and call it the "library."
