Furnishing a small and cosy bathroom: the complete guide
Small bathroom ideas and photos
Do you have a “mini” sized bathroom but dream of a “maxi” style? Whether you are renovating the cloakroom in a new house or tackling the interiors of a small city apartment, you do not have to sacrifice any comfort. Furnishing a small bathroom proves to be an exciting challenge with Scavolini bathroom furniture, which transforms even a few square metres into an oasis of daily well-being.
How to furnish a small bathroom: secrets of optimization
When space is limited, ergonomics is everything. The first step to furnishing a small bathroom in a clever way is studying the layout of the elements to ensure the fluid and safe use of the environment.
- Measurements and proportions: respecting the minimum distances between sanitary ware is not just a matter of regulation, but of daily convenience.
- Millimetric design: making use of niches and vertical heights allows you to reclaim precious centimetres without obstructing movement.
- Integrated solutions: opting for built-in washbasins with a reduced depth (of less than 45-50 cm) can make a difference between a cramped bathroom and a functional one.

Wall-mounted bathroom furniture: lightness and practicality
The keyword is wall-mounting. Wall-mounted sanitary ware, towel rails and furniture leave the floor clear, expanding the walkable surface area while simultaneously making cleaning easier. Consider the tubular towel rail idea from the Diesel Open Workshop bathroom!
Mirrors and lighting: the trick to doubling the space
Here is another secret to making a small bathroom appear larger: fix a mirror to the wall to visually double the square metres.
- Choose a mirror unit or a bathroom cabinet with a mirrored door: both options combine the reflective function with a practical compartment for storing beauty products.
- Provide soft lights that evoke natural light: the right lighting eliminates dark corners that make the room feel smaller. Integrate LED strips or adjustable spotlights, which are essential for make-up or shaving, adding depth and enhancing the finishes.
The importance of colours and materials in small bathroom furnishings
The choice of colour is another crucial factor. To visually enlarge the space, it is advisable to focus on light colours and glossy finishes that reflect the light. An example? Scavolini offers a vast range of high-quality materials that resist humidity while maintaining luxury aesthetics. Look at the wonderful plain door and slat door in “Pas Dosé” glass featured in the Lido bathroom: as you can see, using continuous finishes across walls, furniture and floors helps to eliminate visual interruptions, making the environment even more harmonious and welcoming.
