  • 1). Provide adequate lighting for checking makeup. Install the light switch in a spot that's easy to find.

  • 2). Equip the sink with a faucet that functions smoothly and efficiently, and does not splash water.

  • 3). Make sure the mirror is large and well-lit.

  • 4). Install a ventilation fan to remove moisture and odors.

  • 5). Provide fresh towels.

  • 6). Set out a dish of mild potpourri and, when guests are expected, burn a candle with a scent compatible to the potpourri.

  • 7). Deck the window in a treatment that maintains privacy but admits light.

  • 8). Leave floors bare, if possible, to avoid a tripping hazard. If you do use a rug, be sure it grips the floor snugly; a latex-backed mat is a good choice.

  • 9). Minimize accessories - powder rooms are usually small, and a guest could inadvertently knock a fragile item over - but remember that a small vase of fresh flowers or a potted plant is a welcome touch.

  • 13

    Offer thoughtful amenities - mouthwash, disposable cups, hand lotion - if you have enough space.
