Tips for Small Bathrooms

November 10, 2023

It’s hard to know where to start when renovating a bathroom that’s on the smaller side, but we’re here to help. Our wet wall panels come in a range of sizes, which makes them ideal for bathrooms of all shapes and sizes. When selecting wall panels for smaller bathrooms, there are a couple of things to think about. Here are our top tips to make the most out of your space.

1. Stick to light colours

When selecting wall panels for a small bathroom, try sticking to lighter colours. The light colours on the wall will reflect the light in your bathroom to give a larger feel to the room and create a sense of depth. You could also contrast this with a dark wall which will help create a sense of depth in your bathroom.

Our Contempo Formia Tile Effect wall panels will add a touch of elegance and style to your small bathroom. The gloss finish will illuminate light and help create a bright and welcoming atmosphere. Try pairing with natural woods to create a simple and minimalistic interior and add a splash of colour with a small house plant in your bathroom.

2. Add textures

Whilst the obvious choice would be to make your whole bathroom bright white, this can result in the space feeling cold and empty rather than minimal. To create a space you feel calm and relaxed in, try a neutral colour palette and use a variety of tonal colours to add interest and depth. The best way to decorate a small bathroom and add that depth is by creating different surface textures.

3. Create an accent wall

If you would like to make an impact in your small bathroom, try using an accent wall panel on the back wall. If the other walls and flooring are kept simple, this design technique can create a sense of depth in your small bathroom.

4. Gloss finish

The best way to create light and the illusion of space in a small bathroom is with light-reflective materials. Walls panels with a glossy surface finish are ideal for use in smaller bathrooms as they will reflect light and brighten up the space.
