Small Bathroom? Big Ideas!

Design Tips to Maximise Space Without Compromising on Style

When it comes to bathroom design, size isn’t everything. In fact, some of the most beautiful and functional bathrooms are compact — it’s all about smart design and the right products. At Mihaus Kitchens & Bathrooms, we believe every space has potential, no matter how small.

If you’re working with a petite powder room or a compact ensuite, here are some creative tips and showroom-inspired suggestions to help you make the most of your bathroom without skimping on style.

Go Vertical with Storage

When floor space is limited, think upwards. Floating shelves, tall slimline cabinets, and wall-mounted storage can provide plenty of room for toiletries and towels without crowding the space. Our showroom features a range of sleek, wall-hung vanity units that free up floor area and give a more open feel.

Choose Large Tiles (Yes, Really!)

It might seem counter-intuitive, but larger tiles can actually make a small bathroom look bigger. Fewer grout lines create a more seamless, expansive feel. At Mihaus, we stock a stunning selection of large-format tiles that bring texture, tone, and depth to even the tiniest bathroom.

Let the Light In

Lighting plays a huge role in how a space feels. Consider layered lighting – combine ambient, task, and accent lighting to avoid shadows and make the room feel brighter and bigger. Pair this with glossy surfaces or light-coloured finishes to reflect natural light around the room.

Opt for a Walk-In or Frame-less Shower

Ditch the bulky cubicle and opt for a walk-in or frame-less shower design. Clear glass keeps sight-lines open and makes the room feel less confined. We have a variety of sleek shower solutions in our bathroom showroom that offer modern looks and clever configurations.

Think Multi-Functional

Look for pieces that serve dual purposes – a mirrored cabinet for storage and grooming, or a combined vanity and sink. These multi-functional fixtures are perfect for keeping things streamlined and clutter-free.

Wall-Mounted Toilets = More Room to Move

Wall-hung toilets give the illusion of more space by exposing more of the floor, and they’re also easier to clean. Our design team can help you choose the right models for both style and comfort.

Add a Splash of Personality

Just because it’s small doesn’t mean it has to be boring. Add a statement tile wall, bold colour, or elegant tapware to give the room a designer finish. Our showroom is full of inspiration – come and see the possibilities.
