Bathroom design often becomes a source of headaches because it's one of those rooms that never seem to be spacious enough. But what if the bathroom is so small that there's not even enough room for a proper bathtub, and other elements cause complications? Here, you need to think outside the box, and our 10 ideas will help you look at a tiny bathroom from a new angle.

1. Try a Wet Bathroom in European Style

The wet bathroom got its name because everything in it (and usually everything does) ends up wet. For European homes, this is not unusual, and it's common to find tiny bathrooms where the showerhead is positioned almost directly above the toilet, and the drain is located right in the center of the bathroom.

This solution helps save a lot of space. If an open bathroom seems inconvenient to you, you can use a shower curtain.

2. Choose a Wall-Mounted Toilet

A wall-mounted toilet significantly maximizes space in a small bathroom. First, it's slightly smaller than a standard toilet, and second, thanks to wall mounting, it sits much closer to the wall. Additionally, it's much easier to keep the floor clean with a wall-mounted toilet.

3. Install a Compact Shower

A small shower cabin or just a tray with a glass sliding door can be an excellent alternative to a bathtub. Of course, you can't lie in the foam and salt here, but when space is severely limited, it's a very practical solution.

4. Choose a Flat Mirror and Narrow Sink

A simple mirror with a shelf underneath can successfully replace a medicine cabinet. It not only frees up precious space but also allows you to choose a narrower sink and save even more area.

5. Use a Round Sink

Rectangular sinks with sharp edges look modern and stylish, but in a small bathroom, it's better to choose round shapes.

6. Consider a Vanity Without a Pedestal

Sinks that are mounted directly to the wall usually take up less space than those designed for pedestals or cabinets, which makes them easier to fit into the tightest areas.

7. Position the Faucet on the Side of the Sink

If you change the position of the faucet and install it not on the wall, as usual, but on the side of the sink, you can use a narrower sink and not clutter the already small space.

8. Create a Functional Shelf System

The walls in the bathroom can be effectively used for storing towels and bath accessories. Simple shelves placed in cozy corners or on any free wall can help organize necessary items in the bathroom.

9. Install a Shower Barrel

This solution is not for mass consumption and requires some particular character, but it can definitely be implemented in a small bathroom. All you need is an old wine barrel, a bit of inspiration, and effort.

10. Use a Distraction Trick

You can divert attention from the tiny size of the bathroom by using unusual and vibrant details: a sink in an original color, a mirror in an unconventional shape, or overall color scheme.
