Townhouse Guest Bathroom Makeover
See how our small townhouse guest bathroom got a stunning makeover. From clever storage solutions to stylish décor, this transformation proves that even compact spaces can make a big impact.
Just when it seemed like our renovation projects were finally complete… we had one more to tackle! Thankfully, the major home construction is officially behind us. Finishing before the baby arrived was essential—not only for the sake of our home but also for my sanity! Now, we’re focusing on the final details, and it’s incredibly satisfying to see everything come together.
Our guest bathroom makeover was one of our most significant small-scale projects. Though only 6×8 feet, this space underwent a complete transformation after being fully gutted. If some of the photos have unusual angles, it’s simply due to the room’s compact size. It was quite a challenge to capture the space!
We didn’t have to do much with the townhouse guest bedroom. However, having this bathroom upgraded has been a wonderful change, especially with so many visitors stopping by to meet the baby. A well-designed and functional guest space makes all the difference when hosting.
Townhouse Renovation Before and After
And looking at the final result, I have to say—the after photos are almost identical to our original design mockups! A vast improvement from the previous owner’s questionable textile choices.
We didn’t relocate anything in the bathroom. But the guest bathroom makeover still got a complete overhaul since the previous fixtures were all very worn down and basic.
We even replaced the old tub with a modern porcelain alcove tub so that everything felt equally upgraded.
The fixtures are all still from the Kohler Purist collection for the shower system, sink faucet, towel hooks and hardware that we used in our master bath to keep the brushed gold cohesive.
Due to limited space, we got creative with storage by adding a recessed shower niche for soaps and other bath essentials. If you didn’t notice, the shower niche wasn’t in the original design mockups—it was a last-minute addition, and we’re so glad we included it!
Guest Bathroom Color Scheme
I stuck to the marble, gold, pale pink, and navy theme when it came to chooses the accents. For those of you who chimed in on our pale pink marble shower curtain debate, I love the way it turned out if the final space!
I’m so glad we went with the navy hexagon tile floor to mix things up a bit from our master bathroom renovation while still going with a similar overall vibe.
To personalize the space and add a pop of color, I hung a framed photo from our trip to Helsinki.
How to Add More Functional Touches to a Bathroom
To enhance functionality, we installed an outlet and a wall shelf above the toilet, providing guests with a convenient space to get ready—especially since the vanity and sink ledges are limited due to the room’s size. There’s nothing more frustrating than staying somewhere with no accessible outlets or surfaces for toiletries, so this upgrade was a must!
Above the open shelving, we added a wall-mounted cabinet to store towels and provide guests with a spot for their toiletries.

I’ve been searching for a wall mounted cabinet since we are working with a small bathroom space as well. I feel like the white works with the wood and we are planning a wood vanity as well. Do you have a link for it? Couldn’t get the one above to work.
Hi Kristen! We had a link but it looks like it gets redirected to other Wayfair cabinets since the one we purchased is out of stock. Sorry, we don’t remember the exact name of the cabinet. But if you are looking for a similar style, this is a Cumberland cabinet. Hope this helps!
Obsessed with the vanity! Do you have a model name? The link just goes to all waylaid vanities.
Hi Julia! Unfortunately, we don’t remember the name. But all the Kohler Ceramic Impressions vanity tops pair with the Kohler Tailored vanity collection bases so it’s a model in that collection.
Would love a source for the toilet paper holder. Is that what you use every day or do you have a holder somewhere else? Dealing w this issue right now. Now where to hang a tp holder
Hi D! The toilet paper holder is an old item from Target. And yes, that holder is the main holder and not just for extra toilet paper. We had the same dilemma with no space to hang so the holder was perfect for grabbing paper for everyday use and holding extra.
I love the tile but the link that takes you to Wayfair doesn’t exist anymore. Do you have the brand name saved for the tile?
I love seeing small bathroom renos! I also like how you combined the blue, gold, pink, and white together. One question I have: Shouldn’t the outlet you added be GFCI since it’s so close to the sink/”splash area”?
Hi Alaina! Good question. The new outlet shares the same circuit with a GFCI outlet previously in the bathroom so it is safe. XOXO
Where did you source the navy blue hexagon floor tile? It looks amazing!
Thanks Angela! There’s a link for it at the bottom of the post, look for “cape cod hexagon blue tiles” :)
Yes, please let us know where you got your toilet. The link in your post looks nothing like it.
Where did you get the toilet? The link in your post is to a different toilet than the one pictured. You did a beautiful job with the room, it looks a lot like what I am planning.
Where can I purchase the pink and gold towel wall hooks?
Looks amazing! What name and model of toilet did you have installed?
Looks amazing! Can’t wait to see this is person. So, so good!
It’s ready for ya! :)
This looks so good, Ashley! Our only bathroom in our house is teeny tiny like this with sink, toilet, tub all right in a row. Definitely pinning this for our renovation plans!
