Transforming a large bathroom into a wellness oasis is not very difficult. There is space for a large bathtub as well as a walk-in shower and a large mirror and there is still room left for decorations. This looks different in a small room: In this room, the space is very limited and every additional piece of furniture only seems to make it even narrower. Therefore, good spatial planning is particularly important here. It is necessary to take advantage of even the smallest space without making the room look too cluttered. How narrow bathrooms are best furnished and designed isherealready described - but well thought-out planning is essential even for small, square rooms. There are a few ways to achieve this, from the design of the floor and walls to the furniture and plumbing installation.
Set up a small bathroom – Large tiles and light colors
Light colors are important for making a room appear larger. Warm colors such as earth or red tones visually make a room smaller. These colors have an overwhelming effect on the viewer, especially in an already small room. White, and light blue and turquoise tones are therefore best suited for design. If you don't want to do without warm colors, you should contrast them with white to bring the width back into the room. The tiles on the floor or walls should also be large squares. A few, distinctive lines contribute to the optical enlargement, while many small lines contribute to the reduction. Small tiles are only an option as decoration, for example as a border around the wall. In general, colorful patterns should be avoided - they can make the room appear too busy. However, since a bathroom is supposed to be a place for relaxation, this is not desirable. However, the walls can be tiled just like the floor; A lighter nuance of the floor color is ideal for this, or a strong contrast of black to white.
Set up a small bathroom – install a walk-in shower
A bathtub often doesn't fit into a small bathroom and generally takes up too much space with too little floor space in the room. A shower is better, ideally at ground level and in a corner. Due to the lack of a shower tray, the room does not appear to be divided, but rather self-contained. A glass shower enclosure is helpful
Adding to the open feel – decorating a small bathroom can prove to be a difficult task. However, the toilet is often a problem: it cannot simply be hidden behind a partition, as is usually the case in a large bathroom. Instead, it can be seen directly - nothing can be changed about that. But it is possible to integrate it into the bathroom so that it does not stand out too much. There are now also room solutions in which either the shower or the toilet disappears behind a wall. This is ideal for people who do not want to see these sanitary facilities immediately upon entering the room. With some cuts it is also possible to set up a narrow cupboard as a room divider towards the toilet - but this depends on the particular cut of the room; this does not look good in all small bathrooms.
Don't put too much furniture
To create storage space, many cupboards are placed in the small bathroom. However, this causes the room to visually shrink. A few cabinets are fine - like the plain one, for exampleBathroom mirror cabinet Tamrus from jokey. Small furniture series are also a good option; like a small cabinet under the sink or the already mentioned narrow chest of drawers to divide the room. Decoration can also be easily combined with the furniture: a side table, for example, on which the make-up utensils can be stored, or a decorative stool in which towels lie. But open shelves, as long as they are tidy, are also a good storage option that doesn't make the room seem even smaller.
