What are the best colors for small bathrooms?




When you decorate a bath small, choosing the right colors is essential. Light, neutral colors, like white and beige, are ideal because they make the space feel bigger and brighter, which also helps when cleaning.

These colors can be used in coverings such as tiles, porcelain and even furniture. Pastel and gray tones are also good choices for furniture.

Even by using light colors, your bathroom doesn’t have to be boring. You can add colorful details, such as tiles and decorative objects, to bring more life to the space.

Just be careful not to overdo it and make the environment too crowded. If you have space, consider adding a cabinet to add a special touch to your small bathroom.

For a small bathroom, choosing a planned design is the best way to make the most of the space. A custom-made wardrobe or cabinet could be perfect for your needs and also help you keep everything organised.

A good tip is to use sliding doors in the wardrobe. They save space and give a modern touch to the room. In addition to storage, also consider sliding doors for the shower and bathroom entry door. This way you gain more space and make the environment more functional.

For small bathrooms, choose clear glass shower doors. They expand the space and give it a modern and clean look.

To organize hygiene items, use glass shelves inside the shower or, if possible, recessed niches and shampoo holders, which are great for saving space.

Choosing the right covering for small bathrooms is essential to create a feeling of spaciousness and comfort. Before anything else, when choosing it is necessary to consider resistance to humidity and ease of cleaning.

  • large wall coverings: using large pieces can make the space appear larger, as it reduces grout lines;
  • cementitious coatings: gives a modern and industrial look, visually expanding the space;
  • discreet reliefs and prints: create depth without overloading the space.

There are various shapes of mirrors, from round ones, very popular in modern bathrooms, to traditional rectangular or square ones. Some mirrors can take up an entire wall.

There are also mirrored models, i.e. cabinets with mirrored doors fixed to the wall, practical for organizing hygiene items without taking up additional space.

To keep small bathrooms organized and visually larger, it’s essential to have everything in its place. Use baskets, glass shelves and niches to store objects and plants, keeping the most used items in sight and in accessible places, but always organized.

If there isn’t enough space, store less-used items elsewhere to avoid cluttering the bathroom. Inside closets, dividers and organizational boxes are useful for creating more space and making it easier to find items, especially if they are labeled.
