Design of a small bathroom: tips and examples
Even the smallest bathroom can be made cozy, comfortable and convenient. We’re going to tell you how.
Often bathrooms in our apartments are quite small. However, we begin our days and prepare for bed in this room, so its interior should be beautiful and stylish.
1. Furniture
Even in the smallest bathroom one needs a place to store toilet paper, soap, hair drier, personal care products, household chemical goods and black linen. Look at your bathroom and think about where you can make additional storage.
Space under the wash sink is the most popular place to use in small bathrooms. Such tables are custom-made or purchased in stores. Don’t forget about corners as well – they are great to install a corner cabinet or a shelving unit.
2. Niches and shelves
Very often bathrooms feature niches, holes and elbows. You can use them to store shampoos, to install a water heater, or to keep clean towels. To prevent dust and moister from getting inside, close these niches with glass or mirror doors. These holes are also used for decorating of the interior.
Consider where to hang opened shelves. But note that a small space overloaded with fine details looks like a cluttered pantry.
3. Light color palette
White is the best color for a small bathroom design. It widens the space visually, fills it with volume and light and raises the ceiling. Don’t be afraid of cool and monochrome appearance as you can always revive the interior with bright decor elements and textile.
4. Mirrors
Mirror surfaces is another popular method to enlarge a small bathroom visually. Hang a mirror panel above a wash-sink or decorate one of the walls with one large mirror or many different mirrors. Use mirrors for trimming of furniture fronts and rare walls in niches.
5. Ceramic tiles
Use small tiles for small bathrooms. Mosaic is very popular today and is a great variant for a bathroom design. It sustains temperature drops, is durable and easy to maintain. Mosaic looks stylish and original as well.
