Small Bathroom Ideas To Change A Tiny Space Into An Attractive Retreat

You've come to right place if you want to know how to squeeze a bathroom into a small space. You can design your bathroom to be both functional and stylish with an efficient strategy.

Small Bathroom Layout

When designing a small bathroom, it is important to keep your eyes on the essentials. It is important to plan your space carefully using precise measurements. This will allow you to know how much or how little space you have. Bathrooms can have a floor area of 15 feet. This is enough space to fit a sink, a toilet, and possibly a corner basin. A great way to save space is to choose underfloor heating over a bulky heated towel rack.

A shower is a better option than a bath to save floor space. Wet rooms can also be used to expand your space by creating a large shower area in the bathroom.

Bathroom Storage Ideas for Small Spaces

Most bathrooms have vanity units. We offer a variety of compact units, including wall-hung and floor-standing models. For small bathrooms, mirror cabinets can be a great choice. They provide both a 2-in-1 functionality and ample storage space.

You have two options for adding more storage space: recessed shelves and wall mounted shelving. Floating shelves can be a great addition to a small bathroom. They don't take up much space so you still have plenty of room for your essentials. For small bathrooms, wall mounted accessories can be a great choice. Tumblers and soap dispensers are good options.

The debate over the shower or bath

A bath is a great idea for small bathrooms, but if space is limited, a shower will work better. Shower trays can be as small as 800mm by 800mm. Bath tubs typically measure 1700mm in length and 700mm width respectively. A small shower is a great option for small bathrooms. Shower enclosures are more attractive than baths and can be used to fill the entire height of the bathroom.

This decision will be made based on who will use the bathroom most often. A bath is better for family bathrooms, while en-suite bathrooms may be more suitable for showers.

Small Bathroom Rental Ideas

If you live in a rental property, it can be hard to decorate your small bathroom. You cannot change the layout or furniture. It's worth speaking with your landlord to see if they are willing to allow you to make the space more your own.

You can update your rental bathroom by hanging prints or frames on the walls using adhesive hooks. Or, place plants around the room to modernize it. These ideas don't require that you install any screws or permanent fixtures in the wall. You can also change the lightbulbs to make your space more vibrant. Additionally, you might be able upgrade the mirror to give it a bigger alternative to increase the room's bounce. Vinyl floor cloths are a great alternative to the traditional bathroom floor. They can be easily placed and removed.

Small Bathroom Furniture Ideas

You can save valuable wall and floor space in your small bathroom by choosing the right furniture. Because they are compact and provide storage space, cloakroom vanity cabinets and wall mounted units are a great choice for small spaces. Small bathrooms can benefit from wall-hung toilets. They are sleek and clean and leave space behind for the cistern.

Small Bathroom Color Ideas

A bright color palette is a great way to make a small bathroom seem larger. Small spaces should be kept simple. Too many textures, colors, and tiles can create an overwhelming space that will not work for you.

Bathroom floors in neutral colors are very popular because they make your space look larger and brighter, and also provide a clean and simple space for you to build on. Check out our guide to bathroom color ideas for more inspiration.

Tiny Bathroom Lighting

Small bathrooms often lack windows, which can make the space look darker, smaller, and shadier. For brightening a small bathroom without natural light, artificial lighting like spotlights or recessed downlights is a great option. Bright, glossy tiles and paints will help to reflect any light around the room.

You may be able to install a skylight in the ceiling. This is a great way to save money and provide natural light rather than artificial light. You can find all the information you need on how to make a bathroom without windows brighter in our blog.
