Just because a space is small doesn’t mean it also has to be inefficient, cluttered, impractical or less than gorgeous. When dealing with a small house it’s usually the bathroom that has to suffer the most so to speak. Some are tiny, so tiny that sacrifices have to be made.

That however doesn’t ruin their charm. Here are a few examples of tiny house bathroom design ideas that look not just beautiful but that also offer some very inspiring ideas as to how to organize and decorate similar spaces.

White bathroom walls and green plants

When dealing with a small room you can create the impression of a larger space and make it feel airy by using furniture and fixtures that look slender and lightweight. A good example for a bathroom is the pedestal sink which has a tall and sleek silhouette.

It doesn’t offer any sort of storage underneath but you can still use the space around it in other practical ways. For instance, you can bring a plant into your bathroom. Let this design by studio Little Byron inspire you.

White is a perfect color for small spaces. It can however look a bit too plain if left by itself which is why it’s nice to have an accent color or to add a pattern into the room as well.

This tiny house bathroom designed by Willowbee Tiny Homes for a mobile house has it all figured out. The floor features a beautiful black and white pattern which goes really well with the walls and the simple furniture.

It’s not mandatory for a tiny house bathroom to be all white in order to feel airy and inviting. Other colors, even darker ones, can look beautiful too. In this bathroom, by Tiny Heirloom you can see an interesting mix of grays, blue and metallic accents which give the room a distinct character.

The shower has an outdoor-inspired feel and the vanity corner has a fresh coastal vibe thanks to the choice of colors and finishes included in the design.

Large window for this tiny bathroom layout.

What really elevates a space and makes it feel spacious and airy is natural light. That’s why this tiny house bathroom has a large window compared to its overall size.
