Top tips for decorating a small bathroom

Your bathroom doesn’t have to be spacious to look stylish and sophisticated.

 

Here are a few decorating tips to help you make the most of your smaller bathroom.

 

1. Use a soothing palette

Neutral tones of white, off-white and tan create a calming feel in a small bathroom, and gives it a more spacious look.

 

2. Use clever lighting

A well-lit bathroom adds freshness and space. Well-placed wall sconces in your bathroom will open it up, while adding a touch of style to the space.

 

3. Organise
No matter what size your bathroom is, it's always going to function much better when it's well-organised. Assess the situation: Do you have (or can you install) a medicine cabinet for extra storage? Is there a place in the shower to add a glass shelf? Is there space to place a small cabinet? Don't just fill the room with storage, but have an honest conversation with yourself about the items that you need access to on a daily basis. 

 

3. Add a row of tile

Add a row of contrasting or decorative tile to act as a backsplash and add interest to a bathroom that’s short on space. This is also great for budget-friendly re-models since you need only a small amount of tile.

 

4. Farm it out
Find another place to store those ‘non-essentials’ to de-clutter your bathroom. Maybe there’s a linen wardrobe you can use to store extra towels and bath supplies, for example.
