- Compact Bathtub on an Elevated Platform
A compact bathtub is an excellent idea for a small bathroom. Without compromising the luxury of one’s bath, it’s easy to squeeze into a corner or place between other amenities. We love the idea of a raised or elevated platform, giving a bit of height and visual variety to a small area.
-
Contrasting Floor Tile Pattern
There are seemingly endless opportunities for your floors in a small bathroom renovation. Contrasting tile patterns, such as two colours in a checkered or similar formation, can work wonders in bringing a sense of aesthetic style to the room without overly cluttering the space.
-
Add A Skylight
Bright natural sunlight is one of the most enduring small bathroom ideas on this list. It’s not hard to see why. The more light that comes streaming into your bathroom, the greater the sense of spaciousness and airiness.
-
Hang Decorations, Paintings, or Art Vertically
If you’re after simple small bathroom ideas, this one takes the cake. Whether you have paintings, framed photographs or other ornamental decorations, hanging them vertically above a toilet or in some similar spot will draw one’s eye to the height of the room and away from the width/length.

Built-In, Hanging Vanity
Built-In, Hanging Vanity
Standalone, hanging vanities are excellent (and popular) for small bathrooms. Without having to sacrifice any storage or practical surface space, it’s an easy and effective way of really opening up the bathroom.
- Backlit Vanity Mirror
Backlighting a mirror on your vanity not only enhances the utility of the mirror itself but will help to create an element of depth, without losing spaciousness, in a small bathroom. There are a variety of ways in which you can infuse and incorporate light in your bathroom, and a backlit mirror is one of the easiest.
- Mix Materials
There’s nothing wrong with using one stunning material, such as marble, across the entirety of your bathroom. However, mixing two different materials together can infuse style and aesthetics into even a small space without cluttering it with too many ornaments and the like. Rustic wood aesthetics coupled with marble, for example, is one timeless and classic option.
- Built-In Storage/Cabinets In The Wall
Making the most of the walls of your bathroom is a super practical way of taking advantage of every square inch of space. While some bathrooms might be structured in a way that can support a cabinet built into the wall, for others even simple storage solutions can make a world of difference.
- Built-In Shower Shelf
As far as small bathroom renovations go, a built-in shower shelf is simple yet super effective. These shelves give you plenty of space to store items and hygiene products without taking up any precious space elsewhere.
- Replace Tapware with Monochrome or Brass
Why would you replace your tapware with monochrome or brass? It’s an effective way to incorporate a bit of visual appeal by making the most of already existing installations instead of having to simply add more and more. In a small bathroom, this is invaluable!
- Single, Large Mirror
One large, single mirror is really all you need in a bathroom. In fact, the larger and simpler the mirror itself, the more you’ll feel like your bathroom is double its actual size. A neat visual trick, but a really effective one.
- Subway Tiled Walls
Using a subway tile design in your bathroom strikes the perfect balance of intricate-enough design whilst keeping it simple and not overwhelming. That’s why subway tiles are one of our favourite small bathroom ideas.
- Dark, Moody Colour Pallette
We’re swinging for the fences on this one. Instead of opting for all light and bright, sometimes the opposite road can work as well. A darker colour palette in a bathroom can create a mood and atmosphere that is warm and appealing without having to deck out the space with more and more clutter.
- Glass or No Shower Doors
Showers are necessary in a bathroom, but the shower curtain isn’t. If you can replace your curtain with a glass door or, better yet, no door at all, you’ll find the bathroom feeling near infinitely larger.
- Natural Stone
Natural stone is a popular and practical construction material. Thanks to its hardiness it’s equally popular in bathrooms as well. If you’re looking for inspiration for your small bathroom, we can’t recommend stone enough. With intricate patterns and a range of shades, there’s a perfect stone waiting to transform your bathroom.
