How to redesign your bathroom quickly and cost-effectively? 35 ideas

Looking at the photos of modern bathrooms, which have everything for comfortable bathing: beautiful furnishings, spacious and good furniture, elite plumbing and, most importantly, space — we come to despondency. We owners of cherished 3 square meters in «Khrushchevki», it remains only to sigh enviously, once again with difficulty squeezing to the washbasin between the bathroom and washing machine.

Heads up! A small bathroom can also be made stylish and cozy. And so much so that both ourselves and our guests will completely forget about the modest size of the room. And large capital investments are not the point here at all.

The main thing is original ideas. We will share them in our selection.

1. Add live plants

If the bathroom has a window, we are very lucky. After all, in the presence of natural light, we can decorate the room with indoor flowers, turning it into a miniature winter garden. Eco-style is one of the trends of the coming season, so our small bathroom will not only be pleasing to the eye, but also super trendy.

• begonia Rex
• adiantum fern («Venus hair»)
• chlorophytum
• swedish ivy
• liviston palm
• spathiphyllum
• climbing philodendron
• bamboo

An unusual option is a «living» panel of moss on the wall. With proper care, such a «piece of art» will decorate the bathroom for more than one year.

2. Hang an original mirror

What will help us visually extend the walls and increase the space of a small bathroom? Of course, the mirror.

There are many variants of its use. For example, equipping the mirror above the washbasin with a flat cabinet, we will solve not only aesthetic, but also quite a practical problem — increase the number of storage sections. And by choosing a unique baguette for it, we will make it the main accent of the interior.

There is also such an interesting solution. One mirror of round, oval or hexagonal shape is attached with double-sided tape to another, rectangular, the size of the entire wall.

3. Choose retro style

This is a very winning design of a small bathroom, especially when it comes to «Khrushchevki». Such specific elements as a gas column, a small window between the bathroom and the kitchen or a cast-iron bathtub that has served for a long time will take on a completely different sound if you surround them with carefully selected items from the same era.

You won’t have to blush for a bathroom like this. You can only be proud of it, because retro is always in fashion and belongs to the refined style trends (see photo):

4. Decorate the bathroom with themed decor

Our memories of our vacations and the beautiful places we visited will help make the bathroom design truly unique.

Seashells and pebbles brought back from travels, authentic creations of folk artisans: baskets, masks, baguettes — all these will be suitable for interior decoration. Souvenirs associated with happy moments of life can be arranged on special shelves or placed in a frame. Every time we bathe we will look at them and get a charge of positive emotions.

When a room has a «soul», does it matter how many square meters it has? Especially popular is the marine theme, which is not surprising, because we are talking about the bathroom. However, there are other options for decor, so let’s turn on the fantasy…

5. Make a picture gallery

Beauty will save not only the world, but also the design of a small bathroom, turning a cramped uncomfortable room into an exclusive art gallery.

Do you want a dramatic contrast? In this case, the saturated background should necessarily alternate with neutral, for example, white.

As you can see, to make a small bathroom exclusive is not difficult at all. The main thing is to be creative!
