The topic of today’s post is small bathrooms, those very tiny bathrooms where you have to think hard about how to fit the sanitary ware (or at least the toilet) and a small washbasin/cabinet in there. They are generally cloakrooms, guest bathrooms or bathrooms that serve only the living area: essentially, bathrooms with a washbasin at least large enough to wash your hands.
Let’s take a look at the various décor solutions for furnishing these mini rooms with a touch of design! We have selected some ideas that could also be used for non-residential bathrooms (such as commercial restrooms).
Remember: size doesn’t matter. It is possible to turn a small bathroom into a stylish mini space (see our blog post: Furnishing a small bathroom in style).
Compact yet capacious: small, in fact ultra-small bathroom furniture
When depth is the major constraint, it is necessary to find furnishing suites that have really compact dimensions but are designed in such a way as to offer some counter space and, if possible, also include a small closed storage space. Cloakroom washbasin is the term used for washbasins with a shallow depth (less than 36 cm): find below some examples from our collections.
If the bathroom can accommodate a slightly larger vanity unit (still within the 60/70 cm width range), options widen to include floor-standing solutions, for example, which usually feature an additional deep drawer. If possible, depths become more generous, providing for useful interior storage space for organising bathroom essentials.
Below you will find some bathroom décor solutions that can be customized to meet your individual needs.
With a variety of colours and finishes to choose from, each collection offers textured finishes, wood finishes, and colour nuances to fit any bathroom style.
Small in size but mighty grand: the free-standing washbasin
Lastly, mention should be made of the free-standing washbasin (a stylish new take on the traditional ceramic pedestal washbasin), which can also be compact in size, making it a good choice for small but boldly contemporary bathrooms.
Free-standing washbasins are almost always quite compact. They can be mounted against a wall or a corner , to utilise empty space in an original manner.
As they do not provide storage space, you can use the adjacent walls for hanging wall and tall units – either open or with doors – for storing your laundry and personal care products. The free-standing washbasin takes centre stage when the storage function is shifted elsewhere.
The following are some inspirations:
