Designing a small bathroom can be tricky. How can you deliver the mood, ambiance, and impact you want in such a limited space? In this article, we will explore four must-have pieces for every small bathroom, featuring the insights of interior design firm Studio Black Interiors and builders Homes by Howe and REP Building.
1. A Round Mirror
A round mirror is an ideal choice for a small bathroom. With its softer edges and lower profile compared to square or rectangular mirrors, it brings a sense of softness to modern bathrooms that typically feature hard surfaces and clean lines. Maria, the founder of Studio Black Interiors, shares, "The mirrors truly play a big role in making these rooms seem less serious and more warm and relaxed."
Round mirrors add a touch of warmth and relaxation to small bathrooms.
In addition to their aesthetic appeal, round mirrors allow for more negative space with their curved edges. This is particularly beneficial when you want to showcase the walls. By not occupying the entire wall, the round mirrors create a perfect balance that allows the stunning tiles behind them to shine.
2. A Minimalist Vanity
In a small bathroom, the vanity often takes up the most space. While you can opt for a smaller vanity with a smaller footprint, choosing a minimalist vanity is another effective solution. These vanities have clean lines, a lack of hardware and cabinet pulls, and a sleek white design that provides much-needed storage without looking cluttered or crowded.

By using similar vanities, mirrors, and hardware, you can achieve a cohesive look between the bathroom and ensuite. This creates a sense of unity and harmony in your home's design.
3. An Elegant Tile
When it comes to delivering luxury and elegance in a small bathroom, tiles are the perfect tool. Whether through patterns, textures, materials, or colors, tiles can create a significant impact. For example, Carrara marble hexagon tiles can add a touch of luxury and sophistication to a tiny powder room. Paired with a timber floating vanity, these tiles create a stunning combination that proves even small spaces can have a big impact. However, it's essential to seal marble tiles since they are naturally porous and prone to absorbing stains and water.

4. Sleek Hardware
In a small bathroom, sleek hardware is your best friend. Their low profile, sleek, modern, and sophisticated design pairs well with vessel sinks. By using sleek hardware, you can ensure that your sink and hardware complement each other perfectly.

These four hints, when implemented properly, can transform your small bathroom into a stylish and functional space. Remember to consider the round mirror, minimalist vanity, elegant tile, and sleek hardware when planning your bathroom renovation. With the right choices, you can create a small bathroom that combines aesthetics and practicality.
