5+ Practical Tips for Designing a Small Bathroom

Eclectic Boho Colorful Small Bathroom | 5 Practical Tips for Designing a Small Bathroom

We’re all spending a lot more time at home given the circumstances and if you’re like me then you’re looking around your spaces and seeing what can be improved! The ONLY part of my apartment that I’m completely happy with is my small bathroom! Honestly there’s not much I can do to it because of the size, but also I think I did a pretty good job designing it in the first place to utilize all the space, so I thought I would share my tips for designing a small bathroom just in case you’re thinking about doing a renovation or redecoration!

5+ Practical Tips for Designing a Small Bathroom

1. Install a double shower rod so that you can hang your towel there and hide it behind your shower curtain instead of taking up room with a hook in another part of your bathroom. Even if you have a larger bathroom I always suggest installing a double shower rod to dry your towel because I find that when I hang it on a hook it never fully dries!

2. Since I renovated my bathroom I was able to not only add a cut-out in my shower, but I also was able to add a shelf. If you’re not lucky enough to renovate, then I suggest getting a corner shelving unit for your shower. Keeping everything organized and accessible is important for me because if I can’t see it I won’t use it.

3. Opt for a single hole faucet over a 3 hole one. I wanted a vintage 3 hole faucet (like this but with cross handles) SO bad, but since my vanity was pretty small I was advised to get a single hole faucet so that it takes up as little space as possible for optimal counter space and I’m so glad I did! If your renovating absolute go with a single hole faucet.

4. Get a vanity over a pedestal sink. While a pedestal sink may take up less room and make the small space look more open, I knew I wanted a vanity because I needed the storage. And to be honest I just like the look of a vanity over a pedestal sink. I think pedestal sinks are fine in powder rooms, but I just don’t think they’re very practical in a main bathroom.

5. Use light colors. I’m not saying no color or pattern, but lighter colors will open up the space and make it seem bigger. I went with large subway tile from floor to ceiling and an intricate tile floor and I couldn’t be happier. I got my dose of color with a bright and bold shower curtain (that I bought before I even closed on my apartment because I loved it so much).

Here are a few more tips for designing a small bathroom:

  • Get a medicine cabinet with a mirror for above your sink. If I didn’t want to use my grandma’s vintage mirror then I definitely would have.
  • Add a medicine cabinet above your toilet. I’m lucky enough to have a closet right outside my bathroom that holds most of my products, but if you don’t have any other storage I highly encourage utilizing this space.
  • A stationary, glass shower half wall is a great way to open a small space up especially in awkwardly shaped small bathrooms.

      Hi Emily! It’s eucalyptus! Just grab a bouquet from the store (Trader Joe’s always has it for really cheap) and tie it to your shower head.

    Love the shower curtain but i’d have to put the poles the other way around so i wouldn’t have to look at the extended sections ^_^
