Many homes will have bathrooms that are small and pokey. They often look cluttered and dark and there are few areas to store essential bathroom items. However, with clever interior design and practical storage ideas you can change small bathrooms into stunning designer bathrooms that your friends and family will be envious of.
Here are some ways you can create the illusion of space:
- Tiling can be used to create a feeling of space. They are easy to clean and with the clever use of colour and design they can create luxury bathrooms that look bigger than they are. You can choose a paler tile for the floor to open out the room and bright colour on the walls to let in light.
- To avoid having to install radiators which can take up important wall space you should think about under floor heating. Most contemporary bathrooms have this feature now and your feet will appreciate it on cold winter mornings.
- Use mirrors and glass to create light. This will make the room feel larger. You can introduce mirrors and glass into the tiling to reflect light further.
- Using vertically striped wallpaper can add space to a room but keep your colour choices to no more than two colours as this will create an ambience of peace and also help to make the room look more spacious.

Whether you are using interior designers to remodel and existing bathroom or you are planning a new one the emphasis on organisation and storage is considerable. When planning contemporary bathrooms it is crucial to include good storage spaces into the design. There is nothing so off putting than a bathroom full of clutter and bottles.
In a smaller space this is even more important, and the lack of attention to storage can often be the downfall for designer bathrooms. In a smaller bathroom you should think carefully about the surfaces. This will have an impact on how big and how clean and fresh the room looks. It will also impact how easily the room can be cleaned and maintained.
When choosing storage you need to ensure it does not only offer space to store, but provide ways to organise your bathroom clutter. This means choosing furniture pieces that provide different containers and spaces to house all your items. Some traditional options for luxury bathrooms are:
- A vanity cabinet which may provide draw space or cupboard space for items and towels.
- A medicine cabinet to store items that need to be locked away from children.
- A closet can sometimes be a problem in a smaller space but there are so many designs on the market you may find a smaller model to suit.
- Shelving can be used to create an attractive place to put bathroom items but also can add interest.
These items can be chosen in a style that reflects your taste offering style as well as function.
At Increation our interior designers can advise on all aspects of bathroom design.
