You have a small bathroom? Challenge accepted! You don’t need a sprawling bathroom to make a style statement. A big personality can be showcased even in the tiniest of spaces.
In fact, small bathrooms offer up exciting opportunities to add flair and maximise tight corners for better functionality. With Seeff’s help, you can unleash your inner style guru and make every inch count. Whether you’re getting your space ready for a sale or rental or simply want a new-and-improved room for yourself, this guide will show you how.
Make magic with minimalism: A “less is more” approach will help you make the most of a small bathroom space. Embrace simplicity, choose clean lines, and prioritise only the items you need. This will ensure your bathroom has a fuss-free appearance.
Lay it out strategically: Take stock of your space as sloped ceilings, doors, and windows can impact how you use your space. Then get creative with corner sinks and baths, floating vanities, and smaller-sized baths that can make your space feel larger without sacrificing functionality.
Create a focal point: Introduce a focal point or statement piece to draw attention away from your limited space. This could be a beautiful backsplash, a striking piece of artwork, or a unique fixture that adds personality and style.
Choose fixtures and finishes with care: There are plenty of compact fixtures designed for a small bathroom space. Pedestal sinks or wall-mounted vanities free up floor and wall space. Rounded tubs and sinks, besides being a space saver, can lend a friendlier, comforting, and feminine feel to your bathroom.
Go for crystal-clear chicness: Glass shower doors or partitions help visually open up your space. Transparent elements allow light to pass through and create an uninterrupted flow, making the bathroom feel more spacious. You can further enhance this with metallic elements that will catch the light and reflect it around the room.
Find power in your palette: Smart colour choices can make your small bathroom look bigger. Light neutrals in shades of white, grey, and beige and pastels in rose, lavender, or blue can give your bathroom an open feel. However, even dramatic blacks, rich navy blues, or stunning forest greens in glossy paint can create grandeur and depth.
Play around with patterns: Patterns can change the perception of your bathroom and create the illusion of space. For example, vertical stripes can make the room length feel taller and ceilings feel higher which is good for cramped spaces. Horizontal stripes can make your room feel wider which is ideal for narrow rooms.
Turn to smart storage solutions: Every nook and cranny should be scrutinised for potential storage opportunities. You can use wall-mounted shelves or cabinets, hidden storage in bathroom stools, thoughtful hooks behind doors or inside cupboards, and tall cubicle-style cupboards that can fit in narrow spaces.
Reflect style with mirrors: Shiny surfaces reflect light, brightening up your bathroom space and giving the impression of more room. You can use a large mirror to expand your space or turn to mirrored surfaces like taps and cabinets that combine style with practicality.
Bring on the glow: Good lighting works wonders for making your small bathroom (or any room for that matter) more attractive and spacious. Using natural lighting from expansive windows or artificial lighting through wall sconces, pendant lights, or recessed lighting can enhance the overall ambience.
Add pops of colour and texture: Inject personality and charm with vibrant towels, patterned accessories, or a bold accent wall to create visual interest. Greenery in the form of small potted shrubs and succulents can give your space some natural beauty and a sense of calmness.
Tame the bathroom chaos: Scattered toothbrushes, towels piled on the floor, and stacks of loo rolls can disrupt the feel of a pristine and spacious area. Get organised! You can use baskets, trays, or drawer dividers to arrange items neatly in your small bathroom. A regular cleaning will also ensure your space is spotless and airier for a spacious impression.
