Small bathrooms can be a challenge to decorate, but with a few clever tricks, you can make the most of the space and create a stylish and functional oasis.
Here are 10 tips to get you started:
- Maximize the natural light. If your bathroom has a window, let the light shine in! Natural light will make the space feel larger and brighter. If your bathroom doesn't have a window, consider installing skylights or mirrors to reflect the light.
- Choose light colours. Light colours will make the space feel larger and brighter. Avoid dark colours, which can make the space feel cramped.
- Use mirrors. Mirrors are a great way to create the illusion of space. Hang a large mirror on the wall opposite the window to reflect the light and make the room feel bigger.
- Go vertical. Use vertical space to your advantage by installing shelves or cabinets on the walls. This will free up floor space and make the room feel less cluttered.
- Choose slim furniture. Opt for slim furniture pieces that won't take up too much space. A pedestal sink is a good choice for small bathrooms, as it has no visible legs and takes up less floor space.
- Use built-in storage. If you have the space, built-in storage is a great way to maximize storage without adding bulk. This could include built-in cabinets, shelves, or drawers.
- Choose the right flooring. Light-coloured flooring will make the space feel larger, while dark-coloured flooring can make the space feel smaller. Consider using a tile or stone flooring that is easy to clean and maintain.
- Declutter. One of the best ways to make a small bathroom feel bigger is to declutter. Get rid of any unnecessary items that are taking up space. This includes towels, toiletries, and cleaning supplies.
- Add a touch of luxury. Even a small bathroom can feel luxurious with a few simple touches. Add a plush bathmat, a few candles, or a plant to create a relaxing and inviting space.
- Have fun! Decorating a small bathroom can be a challenge, but it can also be a lot of fun. Don't be afraid to experiment with different ideas and find what works best for you.
Here are some additional tips for making your small bathroom look luxurious:
- Use high-quality materials, such as marble or granite countertops.
- Install a rain showerhead or a bathtub with jets.
- Add a touch of gold or other metallic accents.
- Hang a chandelier or other statement light fixture.
- Use plush towels and linens.
- Add a few decorative plants.
