Challenges with small bathroom design
Working out how to design a small bathroom can be a challenging task. We would like to inspire you with small bathroom ideas and tips. Find out how to make the most of limited space and how to make your bathroom look bigger with the right tiles and lighting.
The right bathroom furniture and fixtures can give a small bathroom a modern look. In terms of space saving ideas, you can integrate a quadrant shower cabinet or a corner bath. Choose narrow washstands and washbasins to avoid restricting movement, while a vanity unit or a mirror cabinet offers additional storage space.
At Villeroy & Boch, you'll find a wide selection of bathroom furniture such as mirror cabinets, sink cabinets, and tall cabinets, as well as sinks and washbasins, baths, and showers in various sizes and designs. Our bathroom furniture and ceramics stand for long-lasting quality and enhance your small bathroom.
Small bathroom ideas and tips
Whether you want to design your small bathroom with a shower or integrate a bath, it is always important to use the available space wisely. The design of your bathroom succeeds through a careful selection of bathroom furniture, sanitary ceramics, tiles, colours, and lighting.
Space saving bathroom ideas
While most bathrooms in this country are an average of seven to eight square metres, space can be far more limited in others. The challenge here is to make best use of every centimetre for your bathroom design without making the room look cluttered.
In smaller spaces, it is important to focus on the essentials. However, this doesn't mean that you need to compromise on comfort. With Villeroy & Boch's wide range of products, you can be sure of finding the perfect furnishings for your small bathroom – whether your bathroom design ideas feature a walk-in shower, a bath or other special requirements. You can choose from high-quality washbasins and washstands in timeless designs, modern washdown toilets and shower toilets, shower systems and baths in numerous sizes and shapes, as well as aesthetic bathroom furniture that closes gently and silently thanks to self-closing and SoftClosing mechanisms.
Tip
In addition to the right furnishings, there are a few simple tricks you can use to make your small bathroom look bigger. These include lighting and your choice of tiles. Choose light colours for both wall and floor tiles. Villeroy & Boch’s collections also include an extensive selection of high-quality bathroom tiles which will help you turn your dream bathroom into reality.

FAQs
Designing small bathrooms often raises questions. Below, you'll find many helpful answers.
The differences in designing large bathrooms
Overview of the differences between designing a small or large bathroom:
There is less space available a small bathroom compared with a large one. This makes it important to choose functional and compact bathroom furniture and ceramics.
To avoid an oppressive effect in small bathrooms, opt for light colours for walls and floors. In large bathrooms, the space can be visually separated into zones using wall and floor tiles in different colours.
Large tiles are a particularly good choice for small spaces. These will make a small bathroom look bigger and less grouting will create a harmonious impression.
While decorative elements and bathroom accessories can be interesting highlights in a large bathroom, they should be used sparingly in a small bathroom to avoid making the room appear cluttered.
Essentials for a small bathroom
Nowadays, there are many small bathroom solutions available to suit every taste, making it possible to design compact bathrooms in a modern and cosy style. What are the essentials that every small bathroom needs? To be described as a bathroom, the room should at least have a toilet for everyday needs, a shower or bath for washing, a washbasin or washstand for washing hands and brushing teeth as well as coordinating taps and fittings.
In addition to these basics, practical vanity units and, depending on the space, mirror cabinets, tall cabinets and wall shelves provide storage space. The family's towels can be hung up neatly on towel holders or hooks. Last but not least, sufficient lighting as well as heating are also essential in small bathrooms.
If you’re looking for a little more luxury, shower toilets provide extra hygiene. Walk-in showers create accessibility. A rain shower will make the showering experience even more special, while a whirlpool bath is a wonderful way to relax after a strenuous day.
