Do you have a small bathroom and don’t know how to make the most of it? At Acquabella, we offer advice to help you create a modern, functional space and maximize your bathroom’s potential. Small bathrooms are one of the most common challenges in interior design, but also one of the areas with the greatest potential for creativity. Discover in this article 10 small bathroom ideas that will transform your space into a modern, functional oasis with Acquabella products.
Modern small bathrooms: balancing aesthetics and functionality
The secret to modern small bathrooms lies in maintaining a clean design, with straight lines and well-integrated elements. Furniture for small bathrooms should be practical, but also attractive. Choose wall-mounted furniture to create a sense of visual space. Furniture with hidden storage or narrow columns allows you to store everything you need without cluttering the room. Combine them with integrated sinks to keep the overall look clean.
Incorporating wall-mounted products like shelves or cabinets provides much more space and creates a sense of openness. At Acquabella, you can choose the Show furniture or the Box shelf, which add personality without overwhelming the space.
Small bathrooms with a shower: practical and stylish
When it comes to optimizing space in small bathrooms, one of the most effective and transformative changes is replacing the bathtub with a shower tray. This renovation not only improves the layout and functionality of the bathroom but also offers a more modern, safer, and visually lighter design—creating the perfect small bathroom with a shower.
A very good option for small bathrooms is walk-in showers, which help free up square footage and create a greater sense of space. The area once occupied by the bathtub can be used to integrate furniture, a sink, or simply be left open, enhancing the layout of small bathrooms.
Small bathrooms with a bathtub: luxury in compact spaces
If you're someone who enjoys a good bath and doesn’t want to give up having a bathtub, don’t worry. Many times we think a bathtub isn’t possible in small bathrooms—but that’s not the case. If you have a small bathroom, semi-freestanding bathtubs are your best ally. There are models like Acquabella’s Voss bathtub that fit perfectly in small bathrooms with a bathtub, without compromising on design.
Decorating small bathrooms: details that make a difference
You don’t need much to give a small bathroom personality. Add natural touches with small plants, and use frameless mirrors like the Urban mirror, which is perfect for visually expanding the space. If you prefer to give your small bathroom a more modern feel, Acquabella’s textured panels—such as the Hera panel—are a great option. For more sophisticated and minimalist designs, the Basic panel is made for you and is available in a wide variety of colors.
Textures play a key role in small bathroom design. Subtle contrasts between smooth and textured panels can add depth to the space without making it feel cluttered.
Colors for small bathrooms: light tones
The best colors for small bathrooms are neutral and light tones: whites, soft greys, beiges, or even pastel greens and blues. These colors reflect light and make the space feel more open. At Acquabella, you can choose from a variety of standard colors such as white or cream, or the “Naturally Made” options like Sand, which are perfect for charming small bathroom decor.
Light colors not only visually expand the space but also bring a sense of cleanliness and serenity—ideal for small bathroom environments. By combining soft shades within the same color palette, you can create depth and dynamism without losing the sense of spaciousness. For example, an off-white bathroom combined with sand or pearl grey accents results in a harmonious and elegant finish.
Lighting in small bathrooms
Lighting is a key factor in small bathroom design. Proper lighting planning can completely transform how the space is perceived. Make the most of natural light if you have it, using light curtains or blinds that don’t block it. For artificial lighting, opt for recessed LED lights that don’t take up space and provide even illumination.
A useful idea is to install mirrors with integrated lighting, which offer functional light perfect for daily routines and also create a greater sense of depth in the room. You can also combine different types of lighting—general, ambient, and task—to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, even in compact spaces.
Having a small bathroom doesn’t mean giving up comfort or style. With the right solutions and a dose of creativity, any bathroom can be transformed into a practical, comfortable, and visually appealing space. At Acquabella, we offer you high-quality, functional, and innovatively designed products so every corner of your bathroom counts.
