Also called a half-bath, a powder room typically contains only a sink and toilet. While limited in space, this room can offer convenience for the whole family, along with guests. DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Madison, one of the area’s trusted bathroom contractors, shares some of the benefits this home addition can provide.
Maximize Available Space
A powder room is usually smaller than a full-sized bathroom so it can fit neatly into an already established floor plan. The fact that it doesn’t take up too much square footage also means it won’t affect the overall look and functionality of other living spaces. That said, you’ll need to carefully consider what features to include in your powder room.
You’ll want to make sure you make the most of the limited space. For example, you can invest in a pedestal sink instead of a cabinet because it will conserve space. You can also opt for a wall-mounted toilet because it doesn’t take up as much floor space and is easier to clean around.
Placement is important too. Are you going to put a sink and toilet side by side or on opposite walls? Note that you’ll also need proper clearance to open the door easily. You can consult a trusted bathroom remodeling expert like DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Madison on how to properly go about this.
Greater Privacy & Convenience
By adding a powder room, your guests won’t have to walk through your home to use the restroom. This allows for greater convenience and privacy as well. You may not want someone to use your own bathroom, especially if you haven’t the time to make it presentable for guests. If you love hosting parties, you’ll want to make sure the powder room is located near areas that accommodate guests. These include the kitchen, living and dining rooms, plus the guest bedroom.
Here’s another benefit of adding a powder room: it reduces the people-to-bathroom ratio. This change is especially welcome in larger families. With a powder room, there’s less traffic to the main bathroom and no line of people waiting for their turn.
Increase Property Value
Investing in a powder room addition can improve your home’s overall value. That’s because multiple bathrooms are a big selling point, and one of the things most buyers look for in a home. However, even if you’re not putting your home on the market, the added convenience and functionality offered by a powder room still makes it a great investment.
