6 Design Solutions for a Small Bathroom

With OBI experts, we share how to beautifully decorate a small bathroom and find space for everything you need.

Bright Walls

Designers Anna Polenova and Natalia Lavrik chose an unusual color combination: bright yellow and dark gray, complementing the interior with accessories of the same color.

Bright walls in the bathroom are easiest to achieve using colored paint. By the way, OBI stores provide free color matching services regardless of which color you choose.

Shelves visually expand space – Anna Kovalchenko knows this well. For this small bathroom, the designer chose a tall cabinet with a mirror door.

Not only does the mirror visually double the size of the bathroom, but it also hides all hygiene items inside.
