Space Saving Decor for Tiny Bathrooms
In a tiny bathroom every centimetre counts, so decor needs to work as storage too. These space saving decor ideas for tiny bathrooms help you keep essentials close while making the room look bigger and calmer.
Swap this for that
| Item | Why it works |
|---|---|
| Freestanding vanity | Floating vanity with drawers |
| Flat mirror | Mirror cabinet |
| Towel rail on the door | Slim ladder rail or heated rail |
| Shower caddy | Recessed tiled niche |
| Bath mat clutter | One washable cotton mat |
Storage that doubles as decor
- Install a floating vanity to show more floor.
- Swap the mirror for a mirror cabinet.
- Add an open shelf above the toilet for towels and a plant.
- Build a recessed niche in the shower wall.
Smart fixtures
- Use a slim ladder towel rail.
- Fit a corner sink in very narrow rooms.
- Choose a wall-hung toilet with concealed cistern.
- Hang a sliding or pocket door if space allows.
Visual space
- Pick light tiles and grout.
- Use one large mirror to bounce light.
- Choose a clear glass shower screen.
Small touches
- Add hooks behind the door for robes.
- Decant products into matching bottles.
- Use a trailing plant on a high shelf.
Tip: Fix shelves, cabinets and towel rails into studs or with wall plugs rated for the load, use bathroom-rated electrical fittings installed by an electrician, keep heated rails and sockets away from water, and keep medicines in a cabinet out of children’s reach.
