Show me your teeny tiny bathrooms!

[Doobydoodah]

We've finally decided to rip out the old owner's monstrosity bathroom suite and choose everything brand new. I'm so excited to have a clean new bathroom with everything working and not giving me daily injuries!

So show me your bathrooms! Ours is minuscule, 1.6m x 2.4m and I can't decide if we should do it in light colours, gloss white etc to make it look bigger or do we go dark and embrace the tiny cavern that is our bathroom??

We haven't got the cash to get it wrong so looking for some bathroom wisdom and hopefully some lovely MN bathroom photos!

Any and all advice welcome!

Staying with the ILs for Easter holidays right now, so I can't show you my teeny tiny bathroom right now, but watching with interest - mine is minuscule!

We are just getting ours redone soon and its 1.4m x 2.35m so even smaller and only a tiny window.

Think you need to stick to light and avoid any dark colours in a room that size. I read gloss tiles make room look larger than not gloss so we are having gloss tiles.

Watching. Ours is even smaller and no window!

I found looking on Rightmove helped with ideas. We are doing a few things at once so will be a while before fitted but all planned at present. Victorian house so gone for traditional.

I didn't know there would be so many of us with teeny bathrooms. We should start a club.

I can't look at rightmove for inspiration, I'll just get lost in a nostalgic haze for all the bigger bathrooms that might have been

Try Pinterest... search small bathroom ideas

I did that and it gave me some good ideas but some of their small bathrooms are huge.

I wish I was at home and could measure mine! I bet It's the smallest. It only fits a bath, a sink and half a bathmat! Not even even enough floorspace for a whole bathmat! It's literally a bath in a room and that's about It!

We tend to bathe with the door open if It's just family home.

Do you know Houzz? It's great for inspiration. Here are their compact bathrooms:

Can't post pics of mine yet because we're only part way through renovating, but it's so tiny we have to open the door outwards. Enough space for a shower bath, toilet, sink and towel rail. Luckily we have high ceilings and a decent size window.

Large format tiles will make it feel bigger, small tiles will just emphasise how small the room is.

I love having a nosy through these! Sorry I can't remember specifically which ones but I'm sure I saw some well thought out ones.

We have white gloss tiles on the walls and then mosaic tiles in the shower enclosure and large slate tiles on the floor. With it being a small room you can afford more expensive tiles to really give it a luxury feel.

you can't see in the photo but the white tile is glossy and textured, we have them in like a brick wall not all lined up.

Mine is also very small - I can't fit a full-size bath on one wall so, I had to turn the whole bathroom around and change the plumbing set up too. I can fit a full-length bath in on the other wall with 4cm to spare!
I chose white. Can't show you pictures as I need a good tidy up in there and anyway, it's been in for about 18/19 years. Still love it.

Gah solo, I've been eyeing up the window wall as a 1600 bath would fit under there but then I look at the toilet waste pipe sitting next to the window and think about all the work and abandon the plans.

Loving half a bath mat howmany . A bath mat is far too big for ours, we just kind of shove it out of the way wherever we are, enjoying the crumpled up splash of colour.

Heh, we’re about to push a wall into the master bedroom to make our bathroom bigger, it will then be exactly that size. We don’t know exactly what we’re doing yet, but none of us like baths so we’re going to have a walk in shower instead.

Here’s ours! Small and lower ground but I like it. Toying with swapping the blue for a pale pink at the moment though.

Small bathrooms are normal in terraced Victorian houses.. the small ones, not the ginormous magazine ones! Post ours in a bit

Don’t get dark. It shows all towel fluff and water stains. We were on holiday with the tiniest en-suite in a lovely blue/grey colour.

Gloss metro tiles. Didn't know about the gloss tip but agree it works!

Buy dark towels! We have towels from Wilko and they don't moult so it's not a problem, we have bright blue towels and haven't seen any fluff. Slate doesn't show water stains either.

Ours is tiny, the length of the bath and twice the width, separate toilet. Painted and tiled in white, grey tiled floor, brightly patterned shower curtain and towels (turquoise, yellow and pink)
I love it!

Here’s ours.

We've just done ours.
We got rid of a wide shallow base unit of cupboards (where I couldn't find anything) and replaced with smaller drawer units. Much easier for storage.
Large wide but shallow mirrored wall cabinet reflects the space and makes it look bigger.
The two things that really made a visual difference-
using large format glossy rectangular tiles in landscape orientation to stretch the room

Doobydodah the plumbing changes weren't too bad tbh, the waste pipe runs from the loo under the end of the bath and out and joins the soil pipe.

If I was redoing my bathroom now, I would lose the bath and put a shower cubicle in and possibly a bidet. I would have to change the plumbing around again though and put the lav back where it started out (I would, however, be able to have my bathmat out properly)! Not going to happen before I have a new small kitchen, though!
