Bath or shower?
What to choose: a full bath or a shower? You can argue on this topic endlessly, it all depends on your preferences. But if the question “When was the last time you took a bath?” you find it difficult to answer, we still advise you to stop at the shower. Thus, you save space for additional furniture and a washing machine. And taking a shower in a spacious cabin without getting into the bath every time is a great pleasure!
Pay attention to hanging furniture and plumbing. This will make the room visually more spacious and also facilitate cleaning.
Make use of the space under the sink. On the shelves you can place clean towels or beautiful baskets with detergents. It is important not to leave bottles and powder bags in plain sight - this creates a cluttered look and “eats up” extra space. I wrote in detail about the options for storing small items in the bathroom and putting things in order.
The game of reflections
Mirrors are our main assistants when working on the design of small rooms. They are especially relevant in small bathrooms, because. combine practical and aesthetic functions. If you are not afraid of some impracticality, you can install them in the entire wall, and your bathroom will look much larger.
Corner mirrors work very effectively - they not only visually expand the space, but also create an interesting play of reflections.
Small bathroom design: Niches
Use niches. You can make a niche in the wall that separates the areas in the bathtub, or above the bathtub or in the shower. Do not be afraid to build up a wall to create a niche. It looks more neat than hanging shelves, and visually disappears into the room, merging with the wall. By placing beautiful boxes for cosmetics and clean towels in niches, you will get a functional and stylish rack.
Attractive accents
Zone the space with interesting bright tiles. For example, make a strip of contrasting tiles on the wall and floor in the washbasin area.
A contrasting wall behind the bathroom will make the room visually longer. You can use a beautiful mosaic, tiles with an interesting texture - wood, stone or bright saturated colors.
A large drawing deceives the eye and the room seems larger. Use a wide stripe, or a bright print on the curtain.
Are you a fan of bathroom curtains? Replace it with a glass partition or door. It perfectly fulfills its main function, and looks more elegant and neat.
Important little things
Be careful with the textiles in the bathroom. It would seem, what does the color of the towels have to do with the design of the bathroom? However, colorful multi-colored towels also visually litter the room. A universal option is white towels and a bathrobe. Contrary to popular belief, they are quite practical, because. they are washed all at once, but they look fresh and neat. If you don't like white - choose any other color or a combination of them, but then when buying new towels, try to stick to the chosen color scheme.
