When designing a small bathroom space, there are 8 design ideas that will create a big impact. Why not pick one idea and then design your bathroom around that particular feature.
8 Design Ideas For Small Bathrooms
1] A chandelier
A chandelier will make a stunning feature in a small downstairs cloakroom but you’ll really find that it’s best spot sits right above the bath.
Just imagine a free standing bath, like the Ashton and Bentley Aegean in brass with a bronze orb chandelier perfectly centred above. That would become the absolute focal point of the room and create the big impact you were after.
2] Patterned Walls
Whether you choose patterned wallpaper, for instance from the new Farrow and Ball metallic collection or patterned tiles, such as the Lily Pad Porcelain Custard from Ca’Pietra, covering one wall with pattern is a real fashion statement. Particularly when the pattern is a backdrop to a hand basin on a simple floating shelf, Bard and Blackwood stylee.
For an instant bathroom uplift, there really is no need to install an entirely new bathroom. Simply change one wall for a fashionable freshen up.
3] A Fabulous Faucet
Stay ahead of the game and include a fabulous faucet to your small bathroom to create a big ‘fashion forward’ statement.
4] Clever Lighting
An often overlooked element of bathroom design in smaller bathrooms, lighting can have a stunning impact in a small space.
Light glowing from the edges of the floor, or from underneath a floating vanity unit can give a lovely warm feel to the room. For a subtle glow, illuminated mirrors and shelves can be used to create the perfect light depending on the mood.
The Villeroy & Boch Finion range features carefully placed lighting elements such as a shimmering glow from under the bath and Keuco have cleverly designed their light mirrors to give off a subtle warm glow rather than an eye dazzling bright light along with their colour changing and dimmable lighting, all controlled by an app.
5] Mosaic Floor Tiles
Mosaic floor tiles in bathrooms are a luxurious feature. They look extremely stylish and are the perfect backdrop for your bathroom products and accessories.
We offer a fantastic range floor tiles for the bathroom, including classic and on-trend designs.
6] Frameless Shower Screens
Add a frameless shower screen to your small bathroom to really open up the shower space.
The frameless shower screen is set to be a prominent style for 2020 with companies like Drench creating some beautiful on trend versions like the Harbour Icon Matt Black with tall, minimalist , black lines and clear clean space.
The beauty of a frameless shower screen is that it’s really easy to clean, with no frames getting in the way and they can feature as a real focal point in any small bathroom.
7] Colour
Vibrant colours are playing a big role in bathroom design. There are absolutely no limitations to this trend. Black bathrooms are now the height of glamour, making accessories pop out like never before.
If black is too daring, perhaps try a rich dark blue, like Farrow and Ball Hague Blue, teamed with pale pinks, or soft white. Or perhaps go for a deep burgundy or bright turquoise to make your bathroom products stand out beautifully.
8] Powder Rain Shower
For an instant bathroom uplift, if you were to change just one thing, the addition of a PowderRain shower would be a real statement piece for any bathroom.
PowderRain is the newest type of shower flow that has six super fine openings on one spray nozzle, compared to the average one single spray. The result is a beautiful powder rain, indulgent shower which is actually more ecologically friendly. They look amazing too. The Hansgrohe Raindance Overhead shower collection all feature PowderRain technology and look great with their classic, chrome finish of different shapes and sizes.
