Small Bathroom, Big Feel: Design Hacks for Maximising Space

Not every bathroom comes with a generous floor plan - but with a few clever design choices, even the smallest space can feel open, airy, and luxurious.  The key lies in maximising light, minimising clutter, and creating a sense of calm.  Here’s how to make your compact bathroom feel bigger than it is.
  1. Light Colours, Big Impact

Soft, neutral tones like warm whites, pale greys, or coastal sand instantly make a room feel larger.  Light reflects more easily off these shades, creating an open and breathable atmosphere.  For a touch of personality, add gentle accents – think sage towels or brushed brass fittings – while keeping your base palette simple and cohesive.

  1. Let the Light In

Natural light is your best friend in a small bathroom.  Skylights, frosted windows, or even a sun tunnel can transform a dark corner into a bright and inviting retreat.  If natural light isn’t an option, layer your lighting: a mix of ambient and mirror lighting will mimic that daylight glow and help visually expand the room.

  1. Use Mirrors to Multiply Space

A well-placed mirror can work wonders in creating the illusion of depth.  Large mirrors – or mirrored cabinetry – bounce light around the room and make walls seem to recede.  Opt for frameless or slim-edged designs to keep the look clean and uncluttered.

  1. Keep Steam Out and Space Open

Even the best design can feel cramped when mirrors fog up and condensation builds.  Steam can make a small bathroom feel humid and enclosed – exactly what you don’t want.  That’s where a Showerdome® makes all the difference.  By eliminating steam, condensation, and moisture build-up, it helps your bathroom stay clear, bright, and comfortable.  You’ll enjoy a fog-free mirror, dry walls, and a space that feels fresh every time you step out of the shower.

The takeaway? Small bathrooms can be big on style and comfort.  With smart lighting, thoughtful materials, and a Showerdome® to keep the air clear, you can transform even the tiniest bathroom into a spacious, spa-like retreat.
