Small Bathroom Design: Space-Saving Layouts, Compact Fixtures, Light Tiles and Storage
Small bathroom design is about making every inch work: compact fixtures, wall-hung units that free the floor, a glass screen instead of a curtain and light, reflective finishes. The layout matters more than the decoration, because a poor plan cannot be fixed by tiles. This guide gives practical ideas for sizes, fixtures, storage, tiles and lighting. For tiles, see small bathroom tiles design.
Compact fixtures
Choose slim commodes, corner or small basins and short vanities. See commodes and wash basins.
Wall-hung units free the floor
Wall-hung commodes and vanities show more floor, which makes the room look bigger and is easier to clean. They need a strong wall or frame.
Glass screens, not curtains
A glass screen keeps light flowing and separates the wet zone. A sliding or pivot door saves swing space. See bathroom shower.
Light tiles and mirrors
Light tiles with matching grout and a large mirror double the sense of space. See bathroom mirrors.
Storage niches and racks
Use recessed niches, slim cabinets and corner racks. See storage and organizers and bathroom cabinets.
Lighting and ventilation
Bright even light, a mirror light and a small exhaust fan keep the room fresh. Avoid dark corners.
