Small bathroom ideas

The bathroom is your private, sacred space where you do your daily rituals. Sharing a bathroom might be awkward for some, but we’ve come up with simple small bathroom ideas that will turn this shared space into your very own comfort zone.

Pop in some color

A bathroom doesn’t have to be just white! Use the right color for your small bathroom and make the space feel larger. Adding in one or two accent colors, like a pretty blue and sea green, is a great way to mark personal spaces. Make it cohesive and apply these colors to your bathroom organizers so you’ll never have to ask who owns which stuff.

Create boundaries

The worst thing about sharing the bathroom is getting your personal stuff mixed up with your roommate’s. You might love your roommate, but you definitely don’t love their dirty laundry. Avoid these situations by investing in individual laundry hampers, color-coded bathroom organizers, and bathroom furniture that gives you and your roommate separate storage spaces.

Organize for two

Sharing a bathroom means inevitably sharing some space with your roommate. Avoid clutter in shared spaces like the sink and shower areas by dividing storage spaces evenly with a cool bathroom organizer, separate your robes and towels by hanging them on walls with some hooks, or try using a larger shared vanity to maximize your shared space.

A place for everything

When dealing with small bathroom designs, keep track of your belongings by making sure that everything has its own space. Store your shampoo, conditioner, and soap near the shower and your makeup brushes near the vanity. Add a small hidden shelf or cabinet to place spare toiletries and paper towels in. With the amount of things that go in your small bathroom, it’s important to have enough space for each item.

Use unexpected spaces

Most of the time, we can put laundry hampers and other storage units in unexpected areas. For a small bathroom, a good idea is to look for space under elevated sinks, around the shower and tub areas, or in unoccupied small corners for extra space.

Out of sight, out of mind

Bathroom clutter is annoying. Give yourself some peace of mind when you enter the bathroom by investing in bathroom furniture that lets clutter stay hidden. Place beauty products behind a mirror that doubles as a medicine cabinet, store bobby pins in the vanity drawer, and throw used cotton pads in a covered trash can. Remember, it’s easier to relax in a well-organized space.
