Is your small bathroom’s design giving you the blues? Ready for small bathroom redesign? I love to use a half bath for bringing LOADS of style and personality.
It’s a small, dedicated space, so it’s a good place to use tile and wallpaper that more open rooms can’t handle. So let’s go over some recent small bathroom designs to inspire your next bathroom makeover.


This small bathroom got a major upgrade by adding cheery blue and yellow floral wallpaper, a buffalo check shower curtain, and a few towels and art pieces. Notice that you don’t have to change the flooring or vanity to make a huge difference. Because this small bath was a refresh, not a remodel!


The limited size of the space allows for bold choices that make a significant impact without overwhelming the overall small bathroom design.
It’s incredible how attention to detail in a small bathroom area can transform the space.

I believe magic lies in the details, and small bathrooms are no exception.
When I started my office bathroom remodel, I envisioned a penny tile heart in the shower cubby. However, no matter where I looked, I couldn’t find exactly what I wanted.
So, I decided to create it myself.
First, I used a circle from the shower floor as a base. Then, I shaped the heart piece by piece, surrounding it with white and blue penny tiles on the floor. Finally, I paired it with classic 4-inch white tiles on the shower surround.
In the end, I love how it turned out.
If you’re unsure how to add personality to your small bathroom, consider wallpaper, bold tile, a striking color, or a statement vanity.
