Looking for easy ways to freshen up your bathroom before guests arrive? Make your guest bathroom especially welcoming using these 7 simple refresh ideas!

Having guests in my home is honestly one of my favorite things. I love spoiling people and taking care of them, which is why I always give our guest bathroom a quick refresh before they arrive!

Whether you’re having a few friends over to watch a football game or having a bunch of out-of-town family stay with you for a week, these simple tasks will quickly turn your guest bathroom into a welcoming and inviting space for them. ​

GUEST BATHROOM REFRESH IDEAS

1. Deep Clean

Of course, the first step to prepping a bathroom for guests is to clean it REALLY well. I’d encourage you to do the following:

  • Wipe down all surfaces
  • Clean the mirror
  • Scrub the tub/shower
  • Clean the toilet
  • Wipe down the light fixtures and fan
  • Sweep (including the baseboards)
  • Mop

2. Fresh Scent

My FAVORITE way to make a bathroom more comfortable for my guests is to fill the air with a welcoming and cozy scent. Simply install an attractive oil warmer (mine is a Glade warmer) in the outlet and fill it with an oil refill from a Renuzit® Snuggle®​ Oil Linen Escape as shown below. The Renuzit® Snuggle®​ refills are universal, so if you already have a warmer there’s a good chance they’ll work with it!​

Honestly, the fresh linen scent of the Renuzit® Snuggle® is amazing! I feel like I’m walking into a dryer full of warm, soft towels! You can grab a pack of them at Walmart on the cleaning and air freshener aisle. 🙂 ​

You can also save on these by using Ibotta (Save $3 on any one (1) Renuzit® Snuggle®​ 3 ct oil refill and Save $5 on any one (1) Renuzit® Snuggle®​ 5 ct. oil refill​)! 

The other wonderful thing about these oil warmers is that they’re pretty! I love how nicely the warmer blends in and the clear Renuzit® Snuggle® bottle looks really classy. 

Or you could give luck a draw and enter the Renuzit® Snuggle®​ Sweepstakes! You can enter to win 1 of 100 Renuzit® Snuggle®​ Starter Kits containing the warmer and oils or the Grand Prize of $1,000 Walmart Gift Card!

3. Fabric Curtains

If your guest bathroom has a window, try installing some fabric curtains. The softness of the fabric will make the space feel more comfortable and they add another level of privacy for your guests. Already have some fabric curtains? Consider washing them before your guests arrive!

4. Soft Towels

First, replace any of your bathroom towels that are damaged or worn. Then, give all of your guest towels a wash and fluff before nicely folding them and putting them out for your guests to use.

5. Stocked Paper Products

An awesome way to make your guests feel welcome in your guest bathroom is to leave typical paper products (like cotton swabs, cotton balls, tissues, and toilet paper) out and available for them. For many guests, the thought of asking you for these items can be embarrassing, so making them easy-to-grab will help make your guest feel welcome and comfortable. 🙂 ​

6. Hidden Trash

One of the least welcoming things to encounter in a bathroom is exposed trash… I mean, let’s be real, no one wants to look at the type of trash originated in a bathroom! 😉 Give your guest bathroom an easy refresh by offering a CLOSED trash can to your guests – you’ll be amazed at how much more inviting the space ends up feeling.

7. Add Luxury

Certain decor items make a bathroom feel luxurious – try adding a bath tub tray, leaving fancy shampoos and scrubs out for your guests to use, or hanging a clean shower brush near the shower.

Well, there you have it! Seven super easy ideas for doing a quick guest bathroom refresh before your next guest arrives. I hope this helps take a bit of the stress out of prepping for guests and gives you some simple, actionable steps towards making your guest bathroom more welcoming and inviting.
