When choosing fixtures, selecting compact or multifunctional items tailored for small spaces is the best approach. This includes opting for a vanity with built-in storage but also using rounded edges, where possible, to prevent bumps in tight quarters.

Example: create a walk-in shower with a frameless glass door instead of a bathtub, this will make the space feel bigger and will allow you to get away with a slightly smaller shower width.

If possible, adding a skylight or increasing the window size, will help to create a feeling of space. Incorporating layered lighting such as overhead lights, wall sconces, and recessed lighting is also a great way to enhance the space.

And for the windows? We tend to maximize natural light by keeping windows uncovered or using light and simple window dressing.

Every bathroom needs some sort of storage, even if it’s a tiny one, and when the room is small, it can feel quite overpowering. One solution is to think vertically and incorporate smart storage like floating shelves or tall cabinets. How about integrating recessed shelves in the shower or above the toilet? Or use hooks or rails for towels and robes instead of bulky towel bars?

Example: A built-in cabinet with a mirrored front provides storage and the mirror will enlarge the perception of the space.

Does the bathroom have a high ceiling? Bringing the tiles all the way up is a nice way to enhance the space. Also carrying the same floor times into the shower is a good solution to have a floor space that looks bigger.

Colour-wise, the most common advice is to go light, using a neutral palette, but we like a bit of colour and texture and think they both can add lots of value. But how? We usually go for a contrast between the floor and the walls: dark and light or bold and simple.
