25 Small Chic Bathroom Ideas That Look Luxurious- Little Touches Open Up Bathrooms Short on Space

small bathroom decor

Just because a bathroom is tiny doesn't mean it can't pack a stylish punch like its more sizable counterparts. In fact, the challenge of a small bathroom can often conjure some really creative ideas that result in a pretty special little place. So in honor of all the diminutive restrooms out there, we went on a hunt to find the chicest and most stylish small bathrooms we could find.

When it comes to making a tiny small bathroom feel a little bigger, it's about more than just using the right colors and shapes; you have to get creative wherever you can. So if you have a little powder room and are struggling with decorating it, we've got you covered. Explore our favorite 25 small bathroom ideas that are almost too cool.

Don't Block the Sunlight

If serenity is what you seek from your small bathroom, then this bright, light-filled space will be your idea of heaven. This cute space has all the classics in one place; from the white subway tiles to the chevron flooring and brass hardware, we've fallen hard.

The combination of white walls and an abundance of natural light can make a small bathroom look a lot bigger, so if your tiny bathroom has a window, consider getting a super-sheer shade or even a white one.

Go Overboard on Marble

If you love bathroom decor and marble as much as we do, we highly recommend you combine the two and slather your small bathroom walls with marble-patterned wallpaper. It really doesn't need anything else. Even if you opt for neutral shades, it still packs a big punch.

Keep It Simple

If bright and bold interiors aren't your style, this stripped-back look will do the trick. With signature subway tiles and hardware, this small bathroom looks chic (and will for years to come). Plus, the industrial sink opens up the space that much more because there are no cabinets blocking it.

Use Dark Accents

If there's one tried-and-tested recipe for style success, it's black-and-white with metallic hardware. Case in point, this über-chic small bathroom by Katie Martinez. The San Francisco native nailed this tiny bathroom: It's so cool that the size pales in significance; in fact, it almost enhances it.

For a contemporary riff on the classic white bathroom, paint your door a rich, glossy black. Few elements will pop more than that will.

Try Something Different

Mix your modern elements with traditional ones to create a truly rich and colorful small bathroom. Wallpaper is a great way to play with pattern or add a fun flair without having to spend a ton of money. There's a lot going on in this tiny area, but it's certainly entertaining. It's a dose of cheer every time you are near.

If you're feeling bold, go ahead and arrange a gallery wall on your bathroom walls.

If you get a bold wallpaper, consider a removable peel-and-stick one so that you can change it up if you grow tired of it.

Create an Optical Illusion

In this small bathroom, designer Cathie Hong tricks the eye into thinking the space is much bigger, courtesy of the chevron-patterned floor that continues up the wall. The best part about this design trick is that you can opt for whichever color or pattern speaks most to you. Whether you opt for a moody black or bright blue, you can't go wrong.

Opt for a Monochromatic Palette

small bathroom design tips

Decorating a small bathroom is tough. After all, there's so much to consider for such a little space that it can feel overwhelming, so minimize your stress by picking one color. A monochromatic palette allows you to create dimension by using different shades and tones of one color. In this Desiree Burns-designed space, she chose grey, and we're all for it. The muted gold hardware adds an unexpected glamorous element that we're loving.

Break up the Space

Arbor & Co. masterfully makes this tiny small bathroom appear bigger by painting the upper half of the ceiling a eucalyptus green and paneling the lower half. Adding a panel to your wall may take a bit of work, but the result is worth the effort.

Keep Everything White

White bathrooms may seem a little boring, but they're effective. After all, they make the small bathroom look nearly twice as big. Here, Hong put her own glamorous twist on the traditional look with super-shiny hardware and black details, like the feet of the tub, bottom of the ladder, and hooks on the wall.

Swap Your Shower Curtain for Glass Doors

If you want to make your small bathroom look twice as big, get rid of your shower curtain and install glass doors.

Add an Unexpected Element

If we had to pick only one piece of cool decor for a small bathroom, it would be the lighting. A vintage apothecary sconce definitely gets the job done. No matter the style of your bathroom, a unique light fixture will take the space to the next level.

Build a Vanity

Luxury Adjustable Tilting Angle Oval Pivot Mirror

If two people are sharing the same small bathroom, building a double-vanity may be a good investment. Even in this tiny California bathroom, the Pure Salt Interiors' designers managed to squeeze in a double-vanity that's super simple but doesn't compromise on style. The key is only including what you need, like hidden storage, mirrors, and sinks. Voila!

Work With Color

This Naked Kitchens small bathroom is giving us retro vibes in all the right ways. From the color palette to the simple shapes, we're absolutely loving this tiny space. If you're in the mood to spice up your small bathroom, consider swapping out your traditional tiled floor for a patterned one.

Create Distinct Areas

This small bathroom may be tiny, but it doesn't look it because the designers at Pure Salt Interiors separated it into two distinct areas courtesy of the tiles and wallpaper. As long as the walls share a mutual color, this is a great option for anyone looking to add a touch of dimension to their bathroom.

Go Glam

Modern Brushed Gold Oval Mirror with Stainless Steel Frame

We love the look of a glamorous space because it can encompass so many different styles without losing its super-chic edge. For instance, this small bathroom feels quite feminine and toned down, but the shiny gold-toned hardware and frames give it an undeniably glamorous feel.

Have Fun on the Floor

Classic tiles are always a go-to for bathroom floors, but may we suggest coral-colored tiles with a funky pattern if you want to try something different? Especially in an all-white small bathroom, colorful floors work wonders.

Create a Cove

Every element in this small bathroom fits perfectly. Case in point: the charming custom-built vanity that squeezes in the little cove between the wall and shower. If you're short on space and want to get creative, consider building your own area like this.

Establish a Color Scheme

Choosing a color scheme does not mean going monochrome; it just means picking colors that work well together. For instance, in this olive-toned small bathroom, a heavy mirror donning a black frame and a muted cream in the wallpaper act as beautiful complements to the painted panels on the walls.

Incorporate Vintage Pieces

Whittney Parkinson's chic small bathroom is a shining example of using vintage pieces without making the space feel outdated. She kept the palette neutral and airy, allowing the vintage Murano glass chandelier to catch our attention. Vintage pieces add such an interesting element to just any small bathroom.

Consider Maximalist Elements

In this forest-inspired small bathroom, Parkinson swathed the walls in a bold, leafy wallpaper that gives this tiny space a super maximalist feel without going overboard. She kept the decor simple to establish a sense of balance, and she mastered it.

Straighten All of Your Lines

Sharp, clean lines may not sound like the warmest element, but trust us—there's a way to make it work. Just take a look at this White and Sands Design Build bathroom for inspiration. With neutral colors and organic materials, this small bathroom feels as luxurious as it does welcoming.

Pare Down Your Space

Minimalism is as in vogue as ever. Streamlining your small bathroom can help make you feel more relaxed and at ease when you're in here, too. Take a page from Marie Kondo's book and keep only the pieces of decor that spark joy, and put everything else away.

Mix Different Style 

luxury small bathroom

This gorgeous small bathroom by White and Sands Design Build makes us want to redo our spaces in a slew of different styles. As long as there are mutual elements that each piece of decor shares, like color, scale, or texture, you can mix as many different styles as you like.

Try Rose Gold

In most small bathrooms, the hardware boasts either a silver or gold tone, but what about rose gold? The pink-hued metal is so charming and adds an undeniable sense of warmth to just about any space. Here, the rose gold frames and faucet are so unexpected, and we're living for it.

Pick a Theme

In this Victoria Bell-designed small bathroom, the nautical theme is on point. It doesn't feel cheesy or contrived because the nautical elements are actually pretty subtle. For instance, the unique lights and cool frame around the mirror make the theme known while the rest of the space is quite neutral.
