Small Bathroom Design Tips

Think you can’t have your dream bathroom because it’s too small? Think again! By focusing on a functional layout and streamlined design, your small bathroom design can be beautiful, and feel spacious too! Every space is unique, and our Renovation Consultants will provide you with a customised service to find the right design for you but consider some of these general tips to make the most of your small bathroom layout.

Play with perception: Tiling the side of your bath and the wall with the same tile helps make your space feel larger. A standard fitted bath is also more interesting when it’s dressed up with tiles!

Cool colours: Keep things simple with soft, natural shades – think taupe, cream, and white - to create a lighter and brighter bathroom that feels larger than it actually is.

Floating vanities: Floating vanities can maximise floor space in a compact bathroom design. It makes the space feel larger and less boxed in. Don’t forget to opt for a vanity that includes storage!

Mirror magic: Using mirrors in small bathrooms can open the space by bouncing natural light around the room. Go big and bold with your mirror (or two!) to make a statement while also making your bathroom feel bigger. LED lighting around the mirror can also be useful.

Think outside the box: If space is tight, thinking through the small details can make a difference. To save space you could choose a slimline, oblong sink and position the tap to the side.

Create a sense of space: Use contrasting materials to create defined zones. A dramatic tiled wall behind the vanity contrasted with wood panelling next to the toilet for example, can create the illusion of space.

How much does a small bathroom renovation in New Zealand cost?

The cost of your small bathroom design will vary widely depending on the design and the materials chosen. A small bathroom that includes luxury elements such as underfloor heating, custom tiling, and high-end tapware, will cost more than a bathroom that includes standard features. Regardless of whether your small bathroom renovation will be design-led or budget-led, your Renovation Consultant can help achieve your vision.
