This white ENHET vanity unit is a base for routines and coordination. Its spacious drawers ensure there’s plenty of convenient storage for effortless hygiene. Choosing matte black metal BORGHAMN handles adds to the room’s old-fashioned feel. Stoneware accessories, a bevelled-edge mirror and finial-topped shelving give a handcrafted impression.

Well-planned open storage is a warm welcome for guests. Use baskets and boxes to offer hand towels, extra toiletries and first-aid supplies. Move your personal items into a drawer to free up a shelf for guests’ things. Mix in decorative objects to add character and boost style. Ribbed glass containers are good at shielding contents from curious eyes.

Call it hospitality, call it charm, call it cosy. Help guests feel at ease by remembering the little things. Like having different-coloured towels so that it’s easier keep track of whose is whose. Or using a rail and basket to put must-haves within reach of the toilet. After all, the half bath is an appreciated retreat for you or your guests.

One of the most impactful small half bath ideas is the simplest. Add in sturdy, galvanised steel HYLLIS shelving units to hold cleaning supplies, towers of toilet paper and bulky essentials. Then hide it all by putting up a shower curtain rod and a shower curtain. Now the cat has privacy, too.
