Small but functional bathroom: 14 renovation ideas for a more welcoming environment
It is commonly thought that a small bathroom cannot be stylish and must prioritize functionality. However, a small and functional bathroom can also be beautiful, welcoming, and pleasantly furnished. Smaller spaces offer an opportunity to express creativity and personality through decor, and the bathroom is no exception.
A small bathroom is a place where a few changes can have a significant impact on the overall atmosphere of the space: a different layout, a space-saving cabinet, or the right lighting are elements that are easy to address but can have truly enormous effects on improving the overall look of your environment.
Whether you simply want to make some finishing touches or completely renovate your small bathroom, below are 14 bathroom remodeling ideas for a more welcoming and stylish environment.
1. A wall-to-wall sink
If your bathroom is narrow but deep, save space and add style with a sink that takes up the entire wall at the back.
2. Niches as shelves
When the bathroom is small it is important to make use of all the space available to you, even using the niches in the wall as shelves, for example.
3. Custom-made furnishing
In a small bathroom, don't give up on practicality, but adapt the furniture to the size of the room: custom-built under-sink and wall units will be able to accommodate all your bathroom items while taking up little space.
4. Transparent shower cubicle

Choosing a transparent shower cubicle will help you provide continuity between the bathroom and the shower and will make the environment feel more spacious.
5. Suspended furniture
Suspended furniture can also make the bathroom appear more spacious while adding interesting design ideas.
6. Mirror cabinet
Another way to save space in your bathroom is by choosing a mirror that hides shelves behind it for all your toiletry essentials.
7. Use color
Color can give depth and personality to your bathroom, making it appear more spacious.
8. Natural light
Make the most of natural light as much as possible to make your bathroom look more spacious: large windows and glass doors will also help you in this task.
9. Use plants
Plants can help you make your bathroom more welcoming. Hang them from the ceiling if you don't want to take up floor space.
10. Original materials

Choose original/unique materials for the construction of your bathrooms: a sink or a wall in natural stone will add personality to the environment, for example.
11. Carpets
Add warmth and originality to your bathroom by using rugs. Instead of classic bathroom types, chose those with a high decorative value, brightly colored or with impressive motifs and patterns.
12. Shelves above the toilet
The walls can be used extensively if you want to gain more space for storing your bathroom products: how about shelves above the toilet for example? They will help you make use of a normally under-utilized space.
13. Natural inspirations

Use hooks on the walls and doors to take advantage of all the space available and hang up bathrobes, towels and other objects.
