8 beautiful and functional bathrooms up to 4 m²

In a small bathroom, you can fit everything you need without making it feel cramped or cluttered. We found eight examples that prove this — take a look yourself.

Compact bathroom with a bright cabinet

The space is planned so that upon entering, you see all the most attractive elements: a wall-mounted vanity with mirror and decorative lighting, a bright wall, and a shower. The toilet is placed to the right of the entrance — it doesn't draw attention.

A cabinet with doors in the color of the walls was built into the niche. It accommodates a washing machine, a laundry basket, clean towels, and cleaning supplies. The walls of the shower area and the floor were tiled with ceramic granite, and the rest was painted with moisture-resistant paint.

Light bathroom with bright details

This bathroom is decorated simply but tastefully: the floor, the bathtub screen, and three walls are tiled with light ceramic tiles. The wall around the door is painted with moisture-resistant yellow paint.

A narrow cabinet was placed next to the sink. Its open shelves store beautiful colorful towels, and the closed section holds household chemicals. The light interior is enhanced by a curtain and a colorful mat.

Contrast design

Budget ceramic tiles in neutral tones were used for finishing this bathroom. However, the shower area was highlighted with an unusual green glass partition. Next to it is a cabinet in a contrasting coral color with drawers for storage.

The most original detail is a round mirror with built-in lighting. This bathroom looks stylish and expensive.

Bathroom with a vacation vibe

For the effect of a Mediterranean terrace, wood-textured tiles were laid on the floor. They were also chosen for the wall-mounted vanity, mirror with a shelf, and the ceiling was decorated with original wooden strips.

The walls were tiled in neutral beige ceramic tiles with a barely noticeable stone texture. The color palette is enhanced by woven baskets, seashells, and glass accessories.

Natural materials and texture

This bathroom was decorated in a natural color palette. The floor and walls are covered with ceramic tiles with wood texture. In the wash area, from wall to wall, a wooden countertop with a built-in sink was installed, and there is an additional shelf below for small items and accessories.

Opposite this, the shower area, washing machine, and laundry basket were placed.

Beige bathroom

With a small budget, ceramic tiles from the economy series Italon were chosen for finishing this bathroom. However, all necessary items were arranged: a comfortable shower, a compact vanity with a sink, a mirror with lighting, and a wall-mounted toilet.

Bathroom in oriental style

In this bathroom room, several color accents were added: the wall opposite the entrance is decorated with beautiful colored mosaic. This is also where the wall-mounted vanity with a built-in sink is located.

A wall sconce named 'Aladdin' was hung above the mirror. In the 'wet' area, black tiles with a natural stone texture were laid.

Light bathroom with a hidden washing machine

Marble-imitation tiles were laid on the floor and walls of this small bathroom — it looks very light and visually spacious.

Designers came up with an interesting solution for the vanity cabinet — behind the sliding doors, a compact washing machine is hidden.
