Design Ideas for a small bathroom

If you have a small bathroom, you might feel like there isn’t much space to personalize. However, with a little bit of creativity and some minor changes, you can make the bathroom look significantly better. You just need to think out of the box and come up with unique ways of decorating your little space. There are many unique designs in sinks, bathtubs, bathroom mirrors, and much more, which can fit in your bathroom as well as your budget. If you’re having trouble with the ideas, no need to worry because we are here to help you.

9 design ideas for a small bathroom

  1. Style your floor

You can choose patterned tiles or stone flooring for a part of your bathroom. And, if you prefer, you can continue those tiles on the walls as well. This will bring attention to the focal point of the room and make the space seem bigger. You can place your bathtub on these tiles or the stone flooring. However, if you don’t have a bathtub, you can place the stones under the sink.

  1. Bathroom mirrors

Mirrors can greatly affect the view of the bathroom and make them look spacious. You can choose from a variety of shapes, sizes, and features to find the one that best compliments your bathroom.

  1. Lighting

We know how a good lighting setup can dramatically change the atmosphere of a place. A good lighting fixture can give a modern and upgraded look to your bathroom. You can install LED Mirrors or get simple LED strips for the bathroom to give a subtle glowing effect. They can also be installed below the bathtub or vanity shelf to give a floating effect.

  1. Small plants

You can put up small indoor plants on the sink or set up shelves with small plants on them. This will not only give a pop of color to the bathroom but also bring a fresh and calm feel. Your bathroom looks more environment-friendly and soothing.

  1. Contrasting colors

Your bathroom doesn’t have to be a single-colored space with all neutral tiles. You can add tiles of contrasting colors that trick the eye to see the space as bigger and roomy. Or you can add cabinets or sanitaryware of bright colors to give a pop of color to your neutral bathroom.

  1. Textured walls

You can significantly transform your space by installing textured stone walls. You can put up a bathtub against this wall or the vanity shelf to bring the viewer’s attention to detail. With the perfect lighting, this combination will bring a luxurious feel to your bathroom.

  1. Vanity shelves

Go for wall-mounted vanity storage or sinks to make the floor look spacious. This also gives a clean and organized look to the space. To make the room look tidier, avoid putting extra toiletries on the shelves; rather put them in the cabinets.

  1. Glass doors

Instead of putting up walls or shower curtains to separate the shower or bathtub from the rest of the area, use glass doors. This minimal design does not only make the space look open but also clutter-free.

  1. Freestanding/Wall-mounted furniture

You can get freestanding bathtubs as well as toilets to make the floor seem wider and capacious. If you are adding any cabinets to the bathroom, you can get the ones that can be mounted on the wall. This uplifts the view of your bathroom, making it look more elegant and appealing.
