47 Small Bathroom Ideas to Make Your Space Feel Bigger
The floating shelves seen in this bathroom belonging to Hannah of Thistle Harvest double as storage and modern wall art. To recreate the look, create dimension by bringing in objects with varying heights and shapes, such as potted plants, leaning artwork, toiletries, and storage containers. Watch just how much you’re putting on the shelving units, though, as too much can feel cluttered in a small space.
Use different colors and materials as markers in your bathroom, such as patterned or colored bathroom tiles in the shower or around a vanity unit. This is particularly true where anything visible might disrupt the impact of the design such as in this bathroom covered in colorful kismet tiles which was designed by Paris-based LSL Architects. The alcove adjacent to the shower has been turned into a unit of drawers built in from the ceiling down and painted in a sky blue to link in with the tile colours.
Add Color and Shine
