How to decorate a small bathroom?

The design of a bathroom with a small footprint is a common problem in flats and bedsits, and in the end, it is a matter worth considering. While the bathroom should be decorated in a style that makes you feel good and comfortable, the design itself is not the most important part. Functionality and convenience for daily use are equally important. After all, it is a room that we use intensively. It must consist of furniture that has been constructed from top-quality materials that are resistant to moisture and dirt. Is it possible to create a plan for a small bathroom that takes into account both practicality and visual aspects? Well yes, even a tiny bathroom with a shower can be modern and comfortable!

In an interior where every free space counts, we need to plan the placement of furniture and fittings well. In the case of a small bathroom, the shower is often chosen because it can take up less space compared to a bath. We can place a walk-in or corner shower in the corner furthest from the entrance, thus automatically providing a free passage between the elements in the room. A small bathroom with a shower is the perfect solution if you do not like long baths in the tub, but instead appreciate a quick shower. When it comes to bathroom cabinets under the wash basin, we will usually place them opposite the front door, in an easily accessible place where they are visible. In addition to its primary function, the bathroom cabinet under the wash basin also acts as storage furniture. Among the washbasin cabinets, we can choose furniture with shelves, drawers or doors alone. Large washbasin cabinets are available, as well as small ones. The designs for a small bathroom usually include a washbasin cabinet that is 30-60 cm wide - depending on what the layout allows. You can choose a standing or wall-mounted basin cabinet - depending on your preferences. It is worth opting for a cabinet on high legs, as this will make it easier for us to keep the area around it clean.

First and foremost, when it comes to bathroom worktops they should be made of moisture-resistant and easy-to-clean materials such as laminate. If you are wondering whether it is better to opt for laminate or lacquered bathroom furniture then be sure to read our article on this (,,bathroom furniture - laminate or lacquered?''). Bathroom taps have a utilitarian but also an aesthetic role in the bathroom. In recent years, gold bathroom taps have proved to be very fashionable, fitting in well with modern bathroom designs. In the case of a small bathroom, the Niagara collection by COMAD, which includes several colour versions, will be an apt choice. The unique design of these taps will add character, while their minimalist form will not overwhelm a small interior. See also ready-made furniture combinations, i.e. bathroom sets. WC bowls in a small bathroom In a small bathroom, it is also important to match the right toilet bowl. Models that are suspended optically enlarge the space, which is important for a small bathroom. In addition, they make cleaning easier by providing space between the floor. It is best to mount it on the wall opposite or lateral to the entrance. If you want to gain extra storage space then consider a wall-mounted cabinet that can be placed above the toilet bowl. You can store cleaning products, toilet paper and other bathroom essentials there. In our range, you will find a variety of bathroom wall cabinets in terms of design, colours and workmanship.

Wall and upright cabinets - maximum vertical space In addition to bathroom wall cabinets, a great solution are bathroom posts, which as the name may suggest - are narrow and tall. They usually consist of shelves or recesses, and are sometimes additionally equipped with drawers. Bathroom posts are available on high legs, on low legs, or hanging, which is also an alternative for small spaces. Such a high bathroom cabinet can accommodate all the cosmetics or household appliances needed in the bathroom, such as electric razors and hair styling appliances. Bathroom pedestals are also a great place to store towels - thanks to such practice you will always have a set of fresh towels at hand. Bathroom pedestals, available in our range, are usually between 20-35 cm wide, which means they will fit into any corner. The best option is tall bathroom posts with lockable fronts, so you can maintain visual order in your small bathroom. By the way, find out the Interior Trends for 2025! Colour scheme - bright bathroom or crisp green? The colour scheme is of paramount importance when decorating a small bathroom. Two trends have been hitting hard recently - the versatile, classic bathroom in white décor with light wood elements and the green bathroom in shades of bottle green or sage. So let's compare these two, recently reigning, styles! A light-coloured bathroom will be an excellent choice for really very small interiors, as it will naturally enlarge the space. In addition, if you want to enhance the visual effect of spaciousness, it is worth using gloss fronts, as they reflect light. In a situation where we opt for such a style, it is good to complement the whole with gold-coloured faucets and handles - they will be a significant detail, accentuating the modern design. A green bathroom is suitable for those who are not afraid of a strong and expressive effect, but also like the effect of cosiness. You can opt for mint green bathroom furniture such as in the Line Reed Green collection - it is visually 'light' and does not overwhelm the interior. Green bathroom furniture will look good with black faucets and handles, but also with gold ones - it all depends on what shade of green we are dealing with. See also: Why buy furniture online? Moodboard - plan your bathroom visually If you are looking for design ideas for a small bathroom then you could try creating your own ,'moodboard' - more and more people are using this practice. A moodboard for the bathroom is created by collecting inspiration in the form of photos, colour samples, materials and products - this can be done on the computer (e.g. in Canva or Pinterest) or physically, on a piece of paper or whiteboard. The aim is to create a coherent vision of the arrangement that will help you choose the right bathroom furniture, tiles, lighting and accessories. Besides, it's also a good way to show the furniture showroom what you care about.
