How to Design a Small Bathroom

By choosing the right vanity, mirrors, lighting, color palette, tile, decor and finishes, you can make a small bathroom feel both functional and larger. Learn how to design a small bathroom in this video by The Home Depot:

Amplify your bathroom with a space-saving vanity. Choose from a single vanity, pedestal sink, floating vanity with sink, or a vanity sink with a storage tower.

Mirrors add depth and reflect light for a brighter and lighter feel. Hang mirrors near the window to reflect natural light. Round or oversized mirrors can make the room feel larger.

Bright space feel more spacious and inviting. Choose lighted mirrors or medicine cabinets. Place reflective metal lighting fixtures near or in front of mirrors. Undermount or strips lights help eliminate shadows.

Lighten and brighten your bathroom with white, gloss or neutral color palettes. Create a statement with an accent wall.

Open shelving and wall storage will help you with storage and organization. Clear clutter with floating shelves, towel bars and hooks.

Large graphic patterns look less cluttered and busy than tiny ones. Choose fixtures and accessories that accentuate your walls.

Add clear glass shower doors to give the illusion of depth. For more floor space, choose shower curtains instead of swing-out doors. Hang the shower curtain over the tub or near the ceiling to create the illusion of height.

Lay wall or floor tiles horizontally to make the room look wider. Line tile vertically to make the ceiling look higher.
