How to Make Your Guest Bathroom Perfect for the Holidays

If you love the holidays, your home is probably filled with seasonal decorations, lights, the delicious scent of cookies baking or turkeys roasting, and other festive signs of the season. Another consistent element of the holiday season in November and December is guests. You may be hosting out-of-towners for an extended period, or you may be having dinner parties, cocktails, or just a few friends dropping in for coffee and gingerbread. Whatever your entertaining plans, your guest bathrooms, whether a powder room or a full en suite bath for overnight visitors, should be as cheerful as the rest of your home. Follow these tips for a fun and sparkling bathroom.

Keep Plenty of Supplies Available

Make sure you have backup supplies on hand of:

  • Soap
  • Hand sanitizer
  • Toilet paper
  • Tissue
  • Air freshener

If you want to go the extra mile for your guests, especially if they’re spending the night in your home, here are a few nice extras to have for them:

  • Toothbrushes and toothpaste
  • Dental floss
  • Mouthwash
  • Hand lotion
  • Body lotion

Leave a drawer empty for your overnight guests to stash their bathroom supplies, and have a couple of hooks on the bathroom door for robes, pajamas and toiletry kits.

Light it Up

Bathrooms need great lighting all year round, but a little extra boost of brightness can’t hurt in the dark winter months. Clean your fixtures and dust your lightbulbs. Now is a good time to up the wattage a little bit if you think it’s needed. Get some battery-operated lights and put them in a glass jar to add some fun, and this can also act as a nightlight for visitors.

Splurge on Special Towels

Chances are everyone who comes to your home will visit the powder room, so get some pretty, luxurious hand towels for guests to use. If you expect a lot of guests, pick up some beautiful paper hand towels, too—they’re a little more sanitary for large crowds. Choose a holiday theme for either one to add some festivity to your powder room.

If you’re hosting overnight guests, it’s a great excuse to buy some new towels that are soft, fluffy, and pretty. There are always sales before Thanksgiving, so keep an eye out for promotions at your favorite big box or department store. Make sure you have plenty of towels for everyone, including hand towels and washcloths. If you want to opt for holiday-themed towels, all the better!

Add a Fragrance for the Season

Whether you choose a diffuser, a spray, a candle or potpourri, adding a holiday-themed scent to your guest bathroom is a nice touch. There are a wide variety of options available, including:

  • Cinnamon
  • Sugar cookie
  • Pine
  • Pumpkin
  • Hot chocolate
  • Vanilla

If you expect to have a lot of children around, stay away from candles and opt for diffusers or sprays instead to reduce any worry of little fingers getting singed or worse.

Use Holiday Decorations to Add Some Fun

There’s no reason to skip sprucing up your guest bath or powder room with holiday-themed decor. Hang some lights, add a glass bowl filled with colorful balls or ornaments, put out your favorite assortment of dreidels, or replace your bathroom art with images of sleigh rides, Christmas trees, or anything else that makes you feel in the holiday mood. You’ll enjoy it, and your guests will, too.

Our certified designers create personalized solutions

Exclusively made with high-quality American materials

Fantastic service from start to finish! Art of Drawers offers a free in-home consultation, where their designer comes out to assess your space and create a custom plan tailored to your needs. We opted for their cabinet refacing service, and the transformation was incredible. The designer took the time to understand our style and functionality needs, and the result was a fresh, modern look that gave our kitchen a completely new feel without the hassle of a full renovation.

Their installers are highly trained, professional, and efficient, ensuring a smooth installation process. If you’re considering refacing your cabinets, even if you’re on the fence, I highly recommend giving them a call. It’s definitely worth it!

Living in a tiny condo in Midtown, Art of Drawers was instrumental in transforming my kitchen with their cabinet refacing services, more than doubling my usable cabinet and pantry space. Their work is 100% custom-made, tailored specifically to meet my needs. My designer worked with me from start to finish, ensuring everything was perfect. The project wasn’t considered complete, and my final payment wasn’t made until they confirmed I was fully satisfied. Their customer service exceeded all expectations, making this a high-impact kitchen remodel with a minimal investment. I highly recommend their refacing services!

Art of Drawers came by last week for a refacing project, and we’re already enjoying the benefits of a refreshed, more functional space! We’re very pleased with the results so far, and the service was outstanding. The team was professional, helpful, and kind throughout the entire process. Thanks, AOD!

Art of Drawers turned my very not user friendly kitchen into a great work space. It was a great experience from beginning to end. The proposal was thorough and well thought out and the installation was a breeze. I feel like I have a new kitchen.

After having my refacing project completed for about a month, I can confidently say I love the results and truly enjoy how much more efficient my space feels. Everything is now easy to access and organized, making daily tasks a breeze. The installer was great at communicating throughout the process, and the installation itself was smooth and professional. Thank you for a job well done!

From start to finish, this company was professional, offering competitive pricing and delivering exceptional results with my cabinet refacing project. I’ve already recommended them to several friends and neighbors without hesitation. I’m hoping to have them back soon for more home improvements. Absolutely love the fresh new look they created and the team that made it happen!

The experience was excellent from my first phone inquiry through to follow up. The designer was knowledgeable and patient. Her vision helped me see the space in my cabinet pantry differently. The pull out drawers were ready for installation within the projected timeline. The installer was efficient and respectful of my home. The installation was completed without a hitch. I appreciated their follow up visit to see the completed project and to answer any questions. I highly recommend this company and their work.

Thank goodness for discovering Art of Drawers! We recently downsized and found ourselves with an itty-bitty pantry and limited cabinet space. After a family referral, we contacted AOD for an estimate. From start to finish, they were completely professional.

Karen R.

We are so pleased to have pantry drawers to fit our needs exactly as wevhad envisioned. Downsizing meant less storage space so it helped tremendously to turn this kitchen pantry under a staircase into pull out drawers. It is still a walk-in pantry too! Thank you and we highly recommend this organizational and storage need to everyone.
