If you have a less-than-large bathroom in your home or are planning on building one, it’s likely that you are looking for ways to maximise the space while still keeping it beautiful.
There are plenty of design tricks you can implement to bridge the gap between form and function and transform your space into a spa-like retreat. Opting for floating vanities to free up floor space, installing hooks or rails on the back of the door, and mirrored cabinetry, are just a few of the ways to get the most out of your petite room. If you’re someone who can’t give up the idea of luxuriating in a bath, a shower-over-bath design is the perfect solution to having the best of both world’s.
A small bathroom doesn’t mean it has to skimp on style. Adding luxe fixtures and materials will elevate your space and help detract from how small it might be.
These petite yet beautiful bathrooms from the pages of Australian House & Garden prove that size really doesn’t matter when it comes to great design.
