Small bathrooms so often suffer a simple fate. They get neglected from the decoration scheme of your home, keeping only the essential items.
It is easy to believe that there is no room for personality in your small bathroom, but it doesn’t have to be that way! Even the smallest space has room for big ideas – we’re here to tell you how.
Space Saving Storage
Perhaps the most obvious way to get the most out of your small bathroom is through smart use of storage. Tidying your things away rather than dealing with clutter is the perfect way to make your space feel bigger.
One of our favourite storage solutions is corner cabinets and shelving. Corners are perhaps the least utilised parts of rooms, but they are the perfect way to maximise your space.
Mirrors
If your concern is making your bathroom feel bigger, mirrors will be your best friend. A mirror of any size will expand your space, but bigger mirrors will reflect more light. This gives your room a bright, open feel!
A wall-mounted mirror doesn’t take up any floor space, so it’s also the perfect way to decorate a small space. You could go with tradition and hang one above your sink, or create a whole room of mirrors!
Lighting
Lighting is a necessary element of any room, but it can be particularly useful in a small room. When you don’t have many surfaces for decor, an extravagant lighting solution can make your room stand out.
Colour
Although traditional bathrooms consist of white tiles on every surface, bright colours can bring life to your small bathroom.
This Victorian-style home shows how bright paint can be the perfect companion to bathroom fittings.
Textures
When you are limited in space, varying the textures of the decor items you do include can help your bathroom feel more intricate.
You could choose to incorporate wooden shelves with cast iron taps – anything that breaks up the tiles and creates variation.
One of our favourite textured pieces is items from The Basket Room. They are the perfect rough companion to a smooth tiled counter.
