Ferreiras: How To Make The Most of A Small Bathroom

Don’t be afraid of decorating a small bathroom. Give it a fresh and inspired feel with a few finishing touches to bring light and life into this room.

Limited square footage is becoming a more common reality in many homes. As the price of property goes up, smaller spaces are becoming the norm. But decorating a small bathroom can be a challenge. Use these top tips to make the most of your space.

Consider scale

The scale of your bathroom’s furnishings can have a huge impact on how your smaller bathroom feels and functions. Consider the size relationship between all the different fixtures, fittings and accessories. Upscaling rooms with a super-sized feature can sometimes make a space seem larger than it is, however, it’s important not to have multiple items competing for visual attention.

Don’t be afraid of patterns

A bold feature wall can give your room renewed energy and colour. Fun mosaic tiles can create a beautiful backsplash or feature wall, even in the smallest bathroom. This can serve as a fun statement in a smaller room and will give it personality. The trick here is to not overdo it. Choose one feature wall or element and let that do the talking in the room!

Maximise Storage

Make the most of storage in a small bathroom by choosing pieces that will serve you well. A vanity with under-counter storage can be a worthwhile investment in a small bathroom. You can also make the most of wall space with mounted shelving, hooks and towel racks to help you maximise the space.

Play around with lighting

Lighting can enhance even the tightest of spaces. If you have a vanity or sink area, ensure it’s well-lit. Wall sconces or vertical fixtures on each side of the mirror work well for this purpose. This helps evenly illuminate your face and reduces shadows.

If you have storage cabinets or shelves in the bathroom, consider adding under-cabinet lighting. This not only adds a stylish touch but also provides practical task lighting for countertop activities.

Keep it light

If in doubt, light neutral colours can help to keep your smaller bathroom feeling fresh and inviting. Light colours, particularly whites, soft pastels, and neutrals, can make a small bathroom feel more open and spacious. Consider this when choosing finishes like tiles, paint and more to create a timeless space that you’ll love.
