Bathroom Renovation: Small Bathroom Ideas

This subject of small bathrooms is always a subject of interest to me. Near and dear to my heart, for certain.  

One of our very own bathrooms is only 55 square feet (11 by 5 feet) in square footage total. Long and rectangular.  It's only source of natural light is a skylight (very thankful for it). What to do to give it a WoW factor since its the main bathroom for Guests??

Below are examples of other renovated, small but cute bathrooms.   

6 Small Bathrooms With Dramatic Walk-In Showers.  In 65 square feet or less, these designers make big design statements using stylish tile and bold contrast (by HOUZZ.com)


1. Large Black Tile in Herringbone Pattern With White Grout
Designer: Brooke Brown of L&B
Location: Houston
Size: 50 square feet (4.6 square meters); 5 by 10 feet

Homeowners’ request. “The homeowner wanted this main floor bathroom to wow her guests the moment they walked in,” designer Brooke Brown says. “The brass fixtures soften and warm up the sharp black-and-white contrast, which creates a timeless yet modern space.”


2. Small Marble Tile in Herringbone Pattern
Designers: Liz Diseati (project manager) and VW Fowlkes (principal designer) of Fowlkes Studio
Location: New York City
Size: 50 square feet (4.6 square meters); 5 by 10 feet

Homeowners’ request. A midcentury modern bathroom with a double vanity and a large shower. “The original layout had a small closet that was not very functional. We took over the closet space with the new layout to increase the size of the bathroom and allow room for a double vanity and a more generous shower,” designer VW Fowlkes says.



3. Handmade Tile That Looks Like Tree Bark
Designer: Danielle Loven of Vivid Interior
Location: Eden Prairie, Minnesota
Size: 40 square feet (3.7 square meters); 5 by 8 feet

Homeowners’ request. Remove a bathtub and add a walk-in shower that would feature rustic textured tile that nods to the home’s wooded surrounding.


4. Marble Basket-Weave Tile

Designer: Laura Fox
Location: McLean, Virginia
Size: 65 square feet (6 square meters); 5 by 13 feet

Homeowners’ request. Update a 1960s-era bathroom and its baby-blue tile, toilet and bathtub to create a brighter, more luxurious and elegant design with more storage.




5. Black Hexagonal Floor Tile
Designer: Michele McIntyre
Location: Newport Beach, California
Size: 60 square feet (5.6 square meters)

Homeowners’ request. “This was new construction for an investor client, so I had complete creative freedom,” designer Michele McIntyre says. “However, it’s a guest bath visible from a walk to the powder room for all guests in the home, so I chose easy-on-the-eye yet interesting details.”


6. Black Marble Tile

Designers: Morgan and Jamie Molitor of construction2style
Location: Elk River, Minnesota
Size: 42 square feet (3.9 square meters)

Homeowners’ request. Update a guest bathroom and free up space by removing the tub and large vanity and installing a walk-in shower and floating vanity.
