Small Bathroom Design Ideas

Small rustic bathroom
Untreated timber planks fitted around the bath give this small bathroom a real presence. Tucking the bath behind the door and between the wall and toilet cistern maximises the use of space. A gingham shower curtain adds a charming period touch.

Small neutral bathroom
Not only do the natural stone tiles in this family bathroom add a spa-style touch, but the continuous run of tiles creates a spacious feel, along with the wall-hung fixtures that save on space.

Small country bathroom
The exposed brickwork in this bathroom acts as a great feature wall, working well alongside the deep blue paint either side to add interest and depth to the small space. Elegant bathroom fixtures are complimented by classic accessories like the antique-style clock and miniature wall-hung cabinet.

Small coastal-style bathroom
Wooden panelling painted cream and teamed with white walls and sanitaryware keep this scheme light. Shells line the top edges of the panelling adding a coastal, beach hut-inspired feel. Star door handles are a quirky finishing touch.

Classic attic bathroom
A large skylight maximises light in this compact attic bathroom, with pale walls adding to the impression of extra space. Pretty towels and patterned china accessories add blue accents to the scheme, while a traditional pedestal sink creates a classic feel.

Spa bathroom makeover
Although one might assume that dark wood should be avoided in a small bathroom, used wisely, it can add a chic feel to the room. Here, it has been teamed with pristine white furnishings and walls, to bring out the richness of the wood. A large mirror also helps to shine light onto the wood.

Small monochrome bathroom
Go for a black, white and grey colour scheme to get that hotel-chic look in a small bathroom. Here, black bathroom tiles add definition to the soft grey walls, and a glass shower screen gives the illusion of more space - ideal for narrower bathrooms.

Small French country bathroom
A shelf packed with antique jugs and vases lies above two aged floral canvases creating an eye-catching focal point without taking up any valuable space. The mix of rustic accessories creates a unified country look that, with painted walls and panelling, has a French-style feel to it. A large cupboard below the basin provides handy storage for towels and cosmetics.

Small cosy bathroom
The sloping ceilling in this bathroom gives it the appearance of being small, but the large window helps to balance this out by allowing light to pour into the room. The white furnishings help to bounce light around the room, while the wooden panelling and paintings add character.

Small black and white shower room
In a compact bathroom a wet room-style shower is the perfect solution. A partition wall keeps the shower space separate, but still open plan, while black tiles define it as a zoned area.
