Small Bathroom? No Big Deal!

10 small Bathroom Ideas for Big Impact

 

1 -  Vintage-style mirrors

Long for a vintage-style powder-room look? Step back in time by installing classic paneling on the walls, painted in a soothing pastel shade that won’t look too overpowering.

Scour vintage or used furniture shops for characterful mirrors and add retro-style accessories for the perfect finishing touch.

2 - Contemporary neutral scheme

If you’re in a quandary over how to decorate your small bathroom, just keep it simple with soft, natural shades.

Choose furniture and accessories with clean lines and keep the space as clutter-free as possible to create a feeling of space.

3 - Clever tricks with tiles

When decorating a small bathroom, such as an en suite in a loft conversion, introduce a horizontal line around the width of the space, either with tiles or paint.

This trick will visually widen the space, creating the illusion of a bigger room.

4 - Practical hidden storage

A smart storage panel within a fitted bath will provide a storage area for hiding toiletries or bathroom cleaning products out of sight.

5 - Bright, beautiful wallpaper

Don’t shy away from using wallpaper in a small bathroom.

A paper in a bright shade will look stunning against white woodwork, and provided you choose a simple pattern, it won’t crowd the room either.

6 - Must-have shelving

Keeping a family bathroom tidy is a challenge, even more so if the space is tight.

If you don’t have room for a cupboard, put up shelves with an integrated rail for hanging up towels.

7 - Matching wall and floor tiles

A clever trick to making a small bathroom look bigger is to use the same tiles on both the walls and the floor.

Look for a range that is suitable for both uses (they’ll need to be durable enough to use as flooring) and go for larger-size versions to give an even cleaner finish.

8 - Fresh white scheme

Make a compact bathroom feel more spacious by sticking to a simple all-white scheme.

Team a white suite with glossy wall tiles and plenty of plush textured towels to ensure the space feels welcoming rather than cold.

9 - Luxe sunken bath

If you’re renovating your bathroom or en suite, consider installing a sunken bath.

Provided you have the space for it below your floorboards, a sunken bath will streamline your bathroom, giving it a luxurious, hotel-style feel.

10- Glossy tiles

Glossy tiles in a muted shade will reflect light, making the room brighter and giving the overall impression of a bigger space.

They also have the added advantage of making the space look clean and shiny (provided you wipe them down often!).
