The walls of this bathroom are decorated with ceramic granite tiles imitating marble in a 60x120 cm format, while beige tiles with a textured surface on the floor create magic, giving the feeling that you're walking on real sand, especially when the lighting is on. This project is a perfect example of how even small details can make an interior unique and memorable. The bathroom is equipped with smart fixtures, a vanity unit with a sink and bathtub. The washing machine was moved to the kitchen, which was a convenient solution. In this project, we see how even small details can give an interior its unique style and atmosphere.

Maximum functionality

The bathroom was originally a combined one and very small, so it was important to use every free centimeter as efficiently as possible. The shower cabin was separated by black glass doors, which give the interior an unusual style. Useful storage units were placed above the fixtures to hide access to utilities, maximizing space efficiency. Neutral ceramic granite was laid on the walls, and green small-format tiles were used inside the shower area, which blend beautifully with the light wood countertop and storage shelves.

Smart layout

The bathroom was not relocated, but it was slightly enlarged by taking space from the corridor and kitchen. The door was moved to an area where shoes are not usually kept, ensuring convenience and hygiene. This approach allowed placing everything necessary: a standard bathtub, a wall-mounted toilet, a small but functional sink on the countertop. Space was left under the countertop for a plastic container with dirty laundry, and a shallow washing machine and a cabinet for household chemicals and toiletries were also placed. Wall finishing used small-format monochrome tiles — a simple yet stylish solution that keeps this small bathroom relevant regardless of trends or seasons.

Separate bathroom in one style

In this 3 sq. m bathroom, a mustard tone was chosen for the wall near the bathtub. The bathtub screen was decorated with ceramic granite featuring a pattern from the same collection as the walls. Other walls were painted with moisture-resistant white paint. To hide utilities, a wide cabinet had to be installed, but there was space for a large built-in sink on it.

Separate bathroom — a client’s wish, executed in the same color scheme but with a bright accent in the form of a vivid blue cabinet to mask utilities and storage.

Tiles do not go to the ceiling

Due to relocating the door in a 3.1 sq. m bathroom, it was possible to fit a full-size bathtub 160 cm long, a narrow but functional sink, and even a washing machine. The bathroom was left as a separate unit.

Light glossy tiles in vertical layout on the walls are not laid to the ceiling; above them, the walls were painted in a dusty pink color. The floor tiles were kept as they were originally but cleaned and coated with two layers of paint.
