It is true that all bathrooms won’t be as spacious as the living room but there are still some bathrooms that have a spacious space even if it will be out of your imagination. But, what if you have a definition of a small bathroom? What will you do to make it proper yet aesthetic? Well, just like other small rooms, there are still some tricks and considerations that you can take to make the decoration proper enough. For the bathroom, since the function is way more important, you should give your concern on the function first before the style.
We want you to know some basic considerations that you should take when decorating a small bathroom so that you won’t make a mistake and make the bathroom look crowded and can’t function well. Here are some important things you should consider.
- You should think of some illusion that you can provide to make the room feel wider. Commonly, it will be related to the light. The brighter the room, the wider the impression you can get. In this case, you can install proper bright lamps. Don’t install the yellow ones and better to choose the white ones. Then, if it is possible, it will be really great if you can provide natural lighting inside the room.
- Manage the use of the colors and patterns. For a small space, you should minimize the use of patterns. It doesn’t mean that you can’t have a pattern. You just have to control it. Also, the color is really important to be considered. We recommend you use calm neutral colors such as white, ivory, light grey, etc.
- Don’t put too many things on the floor area. It is better for you to hang it or install the floating furniture. For a small space, cleaning the floor area can have a big impact on the space impression.
- Don’t provide things that you don’t really need. Remember that the first thing you should consider when decorating a small bathroom is all about its function before the style.
Now, we want you to check on the small bathroom decor references we will provide below. You can see the ideas that you can copy in providing effective items or things for your small bathroom. Here there are.
Furniture
It can be said that furniture is the most important thing that you should provide in the small bathroom to make it function well. Of all of the possible furniture that you can provide, you should be able to provide the furniture that will be really functional. Choose the essential ones such as vanity, storage, and bathtub. Here are the examples of the effective furniture designs for your bathroom.
Smart Storage
The smart storage will also be about how you can utilize any possible space or spot to function as the storage. This bathroom utilizes the back side of the door as the storage by installing hanging storage. Then, above the door, there is a rack installed. Smart Storage from @little_edwardian_semi
Bathtub
Since the bathtub will need a wide space, then you should be able to provide a bathtub design that won’t make the room look narrow. This one is an example of that. You can see that the bathtub is in white. Not to make it boring, the bathtub is added with tiles and arranged in a unique tile arrangement for an aesthetic need without making the decoration look crowded. Bathtub from @tinyhouse

Interior Parts
The interior part is the thing that will support the aim of the decoration. It means that if you want to create a spacious impression in a small room space, then you should use the interior aspects to support your effort. For example, you can consider the wall and floor treatment to be treated with a bright neutral color to make the room brighter and wider.
Free Up Floor Space
The floor is clear enough from the unfunctional items. There is only a rug that is implemented there to maintain the floor to keep it dry from the bathtub water splash. The rug is also interesting since it has a neutral color with an aesthetic pattern. Floor Treatment from @beckiowens
