Creating a luxurious feel in a small bathroom can be challenging, but with the right approach, it’s entirely possible. A few smart choices in design and fixtures can transform your small bathroom space into a comfortable and stylish retreat.
1. Install a Wall-Hung Western Toilet
Opting for compact yet high-quality bathroom sanitaryware can make a big difference. Consider RUHE’s compact Wall-hung commodes, designed to save space without compromising on quality. These products fit perfectly in a small bathroom and also keep the bathroom looking spacious and well-organised. The compact structure gives an uncluttered look, making even small spaces open and airy.
2. Install a Tabletop Wash Basin with a Vanity Cabinet Underneath
A well-chosen wash basin can serve as a focal point in your bathroom. RUHE’s collection of compact tabletop wash basins offers a variety of designs that are both functional and attractive. Whether you prefer a modern or traditional look, these basins provide the perfect balance between practicality and style, making them an excellent choice for a small bathroom setting.
3. Choose Large Mirrors to Expand Visual Space
Large mirrors can make a small bathroom look bigger by reflecting light and creating the illusion of more space. Adding lighting around the mirror, like LED Mirrors, increases this effect, as it brightens the space and gives the bathroom a more open, upscale feel. This combination of a large mirror and good lighting can make even the smallest bathroom appear more spacious and luxurious.
4. Use Neutral or Light Colors for Walls and Tiles
Light and neutral colours, such as white, beige, or light grey, make a room feel more open and airy by reflecting more light. This helps create the illusion of a larger space, especially in smaller bathrooms. Using high-quality materials like marble or ceramic tiles not only adds a luxurious touch but also enhances the clean, bright look of the room. These materials offer durability while keeping the bathroom visually spacious.
5. Install High-End Fixtures and Hardware
Choosing high-end fixtures like polished chrome, brass, or matte black (PVD Coating) can instantly add style to a bathroom. These finishes bring a modern and stylish touch, elevating the overall appearance of the space. It's important to select compatible hardware such as matching faucets, towel bars, and handles, to create a unified look.
6. Opt for a Glass Shower Enclosure
A clear glass shower enclosure can make a bathroom feel more spacious by allowing light to pass through and eliminating the visual barrier created by shower curtains. This open design helps the room look larger and less cluttered. Additionally, a glass enclosure adds a sleek, modern appearance that enhances the overall luxurious feel of the bathroom, making it both functional and stylish.
7. Incorporate Smart Storage Solutions
Clutter can make a small bathroom feel even smaller. Invest in smart storage solutions like wall-mounted shelves or cabinets that keep the floor clear and the bathroom tidy. RUHE’s bathroom accessories, like Multi-purpose Organisers or Organiser Shelves designed to complement their sanitaryware, offer functionality and visual appeal. By keeping your space organised, you allow the design elements of your bathroom to stand out, creating a more luxurious atmosphere.
8. Enhance with Strategic Lighting
Combining background lighting for overall brightness, task lighting for areas like the vanity, and accent lighting for highlighting features creates a well-lit and inviting space. Installing dimmable LED lights allows you to adjust the brightness and set the mood. LED mirrors or under-cabinet lighting add style and also provide enough lighting for daily tasks.
9. Integrate Ambient Features
Adding extra features like a heated towel rail or underfloor heating can bring a sense of luxury and comfort to a bathroom, making it feel more like a spa. These keep the space warm and cosy, especially during winter. For an even more luxurious touch, consider installing a small upgrade like a bidet or a high-tech toilet with personalised settings, which can improve the user experience and add modern convenience.
Making a small bathroom look luxurious is all about choosing the right elements and arranging them thoughtfully. By selecting high-quality sanitaryware from RUHE, you can create a bathroom that feels both comfortable and refined. Whether you are renovating or starting from scratch, these tips will help you achieve the luxurious bathroom of your dreams, even in the smallest of spaces.
