By and large, there are two kinds of small bathrooms: spare half baths or powder rooms where you can have a lot of fun playing with decor because you don’t have to worry too much about functionality, and teensy tiny full or 3/4 baths that are squeezed into too little space because you need them.

Gray bathroom vanities are often used in transitional bathrooms – an in-between color for an in-between style.

Really nice looking bathrooms can be a major selling point in any home, and are one of the main features that buyers will look for. But if you’re getting ready to sell and one or more of your bathrooms is only so-so, an extensive bathroom renovation probably isn’t worth the rate of returns you’d get […]
