1. Avoid pedestal sinks
Whilst these are still relatively small in size, they can really disrupt the flow of a room, especially when it is already quite small. A corner sink not only saves space but looks good in a tiny room.
2. Choose a bath OR shower
Whilst it may be tempting to have both a bath and a shower separately in your bathroom, logistics-wise it just doesn’t make any sense. A small bathroom would be overwhelmed with the two so when designing your bathroom, consider opting for one or the other - or add a shower over your bath to get the best of both worlds.
3. Consider the decor
Light colours such as white, cream and pale blue will make the room look spacious as well as feel clean. If you have a small bathroom avoid dark colours on large areas of the wall. If you want to add colour do it with accessories. You may not be able to actually make the room bigger but you can certainly make it seem like it is.
4. Think about your storage
Bathroom storage can be quite big and bulky so consider how you are going to store your bathroom items. Consider off-ground storage like the shelves or cabinets you can find on this page to ensure that you have plenty of floor space. Hooks behind the door can be useful to hang robes and towels. Under-sink cabinets are a good way of helping you utilise space as well. Spice racks on the wall are a cool idea for storing lotions and potions too.
5. Perhaps a wetroom will suit your needs best
If your room really feels too small, perhaps a wetroom is the best option. They are super stylish and add a modern touch to your bathroom. Wetrooms are particularly good if you have problems with accessibility, not having to climb into a bath for example and they are also easy to keep clean.
6. Add mirrors
Mirrors help to create an illusion of space which is just what you need in a small bathroom - plus they are incredibly functional too! They reflect light around the room and generally make bathrooms a much more light and airy space.
7. Natural light is just what you need
Ensure natural light where at all possible. However, if you don't have enough natural light from windows you can fake it by using daylight bulbs. You will then get a natural light - perfect for putting on your makeup.
