Small bathrooms have the potential to clutter too many different styles within a limited footprint. However with the right design tricks, you can easily strike a balance between form and function, creating an attractive small bathroom with big impact. Check out these small bathroom decor and design ideas to add polish and function in a tight space.
Idea 1: Neutral Colors
Choose a soothing color scheme of light, bright hues to make a small bathroom feel larger and more relaxing. Bathroom decorations with tones of white and natural brown create a calming feel in this small bath. Keep the design interesting by using tiles with patterns for the floor and a section of the wall.
