Designing a small bathroom can be a challenge, but with the right strategies, you can create a space that is both functional and stylish. At Hunter Bathrooms we have many years experience designing and building small bathrooms. Here are ten bathroom design ideas for small spaces:
Use light colours
Light colours, such as white and beige, can make a small space feel larger and more open. Consider painting the walls and choosing light-coloured fixtures and accessories to create a bright and airy bathroom. Light coloured tiles given the impression of space and also hide water sploshes and dust.
Install a wall-mounted sink
Wall-mounted sinks are a great option for small bathrooms because they take up less floor space than traditional pedestal sinks. This can help to open up the room and make it feel larger.
Choose a shower over a bathtub
If you’re short on space, replacing a bathtub with a shower can free up a significant amount of room. Look for a compact shower design that fits your space and needs.
Use a glass shower door
A glass shower door can make a small bathroom feel more open and spacious. Consider a frameless glass door for an even more open and modern look.
Install a floating vanity
A floating vanity is a type of bathroom cabinet that is mounted to the wall, creating the illusion of more space. This can be a great option for small bathrooms because it allows you to have storage without taking up valuable floor space.
Add large mirrors
Mirrors are a great way to make a small bathroom feel larger. Consider adding a large mirror above the sink, or using multiple smaller mirrors to create the illusion of more space.
Use open shelving
Traditional bathroom cabinets can make a small space feel cramped. Instead, consider using open shelving to provide storage without sacrificing floor space.
Bathroom lighting
Outsized or crystal, all-out glamor is the way to go. The latest trends mean a small change to lighting make a big impact. Don’t be afraid to go big. Big chandeliers, drum pendants and giant floor lamps are all very much in vogue for those who like their lighting to make a statement or are inspired to strive for luxury.
Use vertical space
In a small bathroom, it’s important to make use of every inch of space. Consider installing shelves or cabinets that extend to the ceiling to maximise storage.
Choose multifunctional fixtures
In a small bathroom, it’s important to choose fixtures that serve multiple purposes. For example, a vanity with built-in storage or a showerhead that can be used as a hand-held sprayer can help to save space and make the most of your small bathroom.
Designing a small bathroom can be a challenge, but with the right strategies, you can create a space that is both functional and stylish. By using light colours, maximising storage, and choosing multifunctional fixtures, you can create a beautiful and efficient bathroom, even in a small space.
