A fan in a bathroom is just a good idea, especially if you've got a window to point it towards. In addition to the benefit of air circulation, it can also provide some much-appreciated sound insulation for guests and residents alike.
2. A candle or wax melter.
A candle, or if you have younger guests, a plug in wax melter will make your bathroom smell nice while providing an odor mask, which can be appreciated in a bathroom. Plus, there's just something about candles that provide a sense of a well-kept home.
3. Plenty of toilet paper and towels-where your guests can find them!
If you're anything like me, it can be uncomfortable to have to snoop in someone else's drawers and cabinets for what I need, even if they've assured that it's ok to do so. Do your guests a favor, and if you don't store extra staples like toilet paper, towels, and perhaps even some basic toiletries in plain sight, at least put up some cute labels on drawers or baskets to point them in the right direction.
4. A lock on the door.
Most bathrooms have locks on the doors, but I'm sure we've all had the experience of using a restroom in someone else's home and discovering that the door does not lock. If it's your home, it's probably not something you even think about-especially if your co-residents are accustomed to knocking-but if it's not your home, it can be a bit of an anxiety factor. A simple hook and eye set costs only a few dollars and is a cinch to install, and believe me when I say that it will make your guest bathroom much more comfortable for your visitors.
5. A trash can. With a liner.
This is pretty self-explanatory. It's a bathroom and there may be items that need thrown away from baby diapers to used tissues, etc. Please don't make your guests ask you where to throw things away or feel that they need to smuggle dirty diapers home in their diaper bag. Just provide a can, with a bag, and maybe even a lid for good measure.
6. A Hamper for used towels.
If your guests are going to be using your shower, please do provide a place for them to put their towels when they are done. Leaving them on hooks and towel racks always feels a little awkward if you don't know someone else's system. Don't forget to make it obvious that this is what the hamper is for, again with the cute little labels. :)
