Small Bathroom Tips | Smart Style Bathroom Renovations Perth

Small bathrooms can be tricky to design, but our interior design team, here at Smart Style, have a few tips and tricks that can make even the smallest of bathrooms appear more spacious, so let’s take a look at a few of them now…

Nothing that sticks out

In small bathrooms, it’s a really good idea to get rid of anything unnecessary that protrudes out from the wall space. Things like shelving units and towel racks that non-essential and jut out from the walls into the limited space of the bathroom will just make it feel more cluttered and cramped Get rid of them and the space will immediately feel bigger.

Keep it clear 

To create the illusion of openness and space, one of the best tips and tricks for small bathrooms is to keep everything as visually uncluttered as possible. That means, ideally, choosing a shower enclosure or screen that is clear rather than opaque or coloured. This will help the room to look bigger, lighter and brighter by adding minimal fuss to the space.

Take storage seriously

In small bathrooms, thing like pedestal sinks are simply a waste of space, even if they do look great. It’s a far better idea to use the principle of hooks and nooks, by which we mean making the most of over door hooks for towels, bathrobes and other hangable items, and installing shelving units and cabinets in nook spaces that would otherwise be wasted space, like between the wall studs, or even inside the walls, for instance.

Consider cove lighting

Cove lighting, or other lighting sources that uplight the bathroom are ideal for making your small space seem taller than it really is, which will help to prevent your small bathrooms from feeling too claustrophobic.

Go big with your tiles

You might think that small tiles are better for a small bathroom space, but actually, the opposite is true. When it comes to small bathrooms, the bigger the tile the better. Why? Because large tiles open the room up and create the illusion of space, it really is that simple.

Keep it simple

When it comes to small bathroom spaces, using a minimal colour palette of no more than two colours, and keeping patterns to a minimum will prevent the space from looking too busy and cluttered, while creating an illusion of spaciousness. The more minimal you can go with the decor, the better it will be for your small bathroom.

Hang your toilet

Hanging your toilet from the wall is a great way to ensure that it takes up as little space as possible, helps the room appear larger than it actually is, and shows off more of your lovely floor space, which is why it is one of the best small bathroom tips and tricks we know.
