5 thoughtfully designed micro-bathrooms up to 4 m² + great ideas

Whether it's possible to fit everything needed in a tiny bathroom depends on the shape of the space and the layout of furniture. Take note of ideas from implemented projects.

Bathroom 3.7 m² with a shower and space for a washing machine

This tiny bathroom is located in a standard one-room apartment. Designer Polina Lebedeva decorated it for her mother. They opted out of a bathtub in favor of a shower with a tray and glass "curtain." Thanks to this solution, a washing machine and storage systems also fit in.

The bathroom interior mirrors the floral motifs of the entire interior, characteristic of the Provence style. A contrasting element was a pistachio-style cabinet. Pay attention to its handles: all the beauty lies in the details.

Bathroom 2.9 m² in a Khrushchyovka

To increase useful area, the toilet was combined with the bathroom, but the space remained small. A 1500×700 mm bathtub was installed, and a 720 mm wide sink cabinet was found — everything fit perfectly.

The wet zone was tiled with "pig" tiles in a "Christmas tree" layout, and the rest of the walls were painted in a beautiful gray shade. The result is compact yet very cozy.

Bathroom 3.85 m² with striking tiles

In this bathroom, the focus was placed on a convenient shower instead of a small bathtub. During renovation, a small niche for storing cleaning products was created.

Designer Oksana Oleynik distracted attention from the small bathroom area using patterned tiles. For the floor, more active and contrasting black-and-white ceramic granite was chosen, while for the walls — white squares with a more elegant geometric pattern. The sink and mirror area were highlighted with colored small-format tiles in a vertical layout. All accessories and fixtures are black.

Tiny bathroom 3.38 m² with a shower

Behind the door of the bathroom, a shower area was designed in a construction-style layout. The washing machine had to be placed opposite the toilet, but a narrow model was chosen to allow easy door opening and loading of laundry. Above the installation — a manifold unit.

The mirror, which "transitions" from one wall to another, visually adds dynamism to the simple forms. Almost everywhere, the walls were simply painted to avoid wasting precious centimeters with tiles.

Bathroom 3.5 m² with an unusual layout

The bathroom was combined with the toilet room, and the toilet was hidden behind a narrow partition. A full-size sink was sacrificed for a compact handbasin. To fit the washing machine, an unconventional bathtub shape was used — but everything fit.

Storage systems were organized in a suspended cabinet, where the gas water heater was also placed. However, the finishing details were not complicated — white tiles and paint were used.
