Overall, finding the fixtures and decorations to highlight a small bathroom opens up many avenues of inspiration. |
There are numerous small bathroom trends used to make the area seem larger than it is. One of these is to replace the swinging door with a pocket version. Doing this frees up a great deal of usable space.
An additional way to open up the area is to hide toilet paper, cosmetics, and other products in different areas. For instance, in the cabinet underneath the sink or embedded shelves. The bathroom itself could be hidden behind a Murphy Door, similar to the way beds are enclosed.
To make the bathroom seem bigger than it is, you want to select the right colors. Darker hues not only make it seem smaller but also swallow up natural and artificial light. On the other hand, lighter, warmer tones create a sense of expansiveness. Plus, they generate an aura of calm.
Showers and sinks also come in smaller versions to accommodate tinier bathroom trends. Yet, they don’t have to be simple structures. The addition of a floating bench and glass enclosure adds an air of luxury to a shower. The same top-line design features are also available for sinks.
One of the biggest challenges when designing a small bathroom is choosing the right sink for your space. A standard-sized model or a dual vanity takes up the needed area. Hence, you want the sink to be less than two feet in width.
Small sinks look great with single-hole faucets or mini widespread faucets. The latter design has two controls that handle hot and cold water. A four-inch centerset is a good example of a mini-widespread model.
Smaller sinks don’t mean you end up with something plain. There are several options available to match your decor.
A pedestal sink is one of the best options for a small bathroom. Available in several ceramic versions, the fixture’s overall dimensions range from 25 to 29 inches. Yet, the pedestal it resides on has a much smaller diameter.
This small bathroom model is a vessel without a pedestal. It’s normally installed on a console. With some versions, the faucet and handles are wall-mounted are based on the surface where the vessel is installed. In others, a single hole is drilled in the vessel.
Fauceture provides several models with dimensions far less than 25 inches. The ceramic EVC15154 Minim 15-Inch Corner Bathroom Sink features a hole for a single-handle faucet. Meanwhile, the EVSPCC1 Templeton is a tempered glass vessel sink with a diameter of 16.5 inches.
A drop-in sink is one of the most popular for small bathrooms. It’s easily installed into a console with storage capabilities. Therefore, you gain additional space on the sink and console surfaces as well as below the vessel.
The Fauceture EV2318 Century is a prime example of a ceramic drop-in sink. At a width of 23 inches, the rectangular vessel works well with a small console.
