Continue scrolling for 60 ingenious ways to maximize even the smallest of bathroom spaces—all without sacrificing an inch of style.
1. Make it a shower room
Even if your shower takes up your entire bathroom, you can still make the most of the space, as evidenced by this gorgeous Swedish studio. A water-resistant bench for holding your belongings and towels are key.
2. Hide pipes with a plant
Name something a plant can't fix—we'll wait. While you may be disappointed with certain things in your tiny bathroom that you don't have the means to fix, like unsightly pipes or a boring cupboard, you can use a plant to take the attention off the area like these California renters did in their bath. A sink skirt would work here, too.
3. Rely on tile
Smaller square footage means less room for decor, but when you install striking tile, like what's seen in this cozy Vermont getaway, who needs anything more? The colors and patterns in the ceramic squares instantly brighten up the room and take up zero precious space, since they're used as a countertop material and to trim out the shower.
4. Turn to hanging storage
Installing hanging baskets for shower storage makes your bathroom look so much more fun—just take a look at this chic Pennsylvania home as an example. Your walls also won't feel as cluttered, and you'll avoid the pain of drilling or putting together a flat packed shelf.
5. Go all out with color
With little space for art or hanging decorations, you can fix a boring bathroom with a maximalist wallpaper, as is the case in this vivid New Jersey home. It infuses fun, lively color into your space but still leaves room for wall-mounted storage if needed.
6. Pick a bold paint color
Bright turquoise blue walls provide a stylish contrast to traditional white tile floors in a tiny bathroom, as we saw in this colorful New Orleans home.
7. Mount a few floating shelves
A pair of wall-mounted shelves turn a cramped bathroom corner into a storage-savvy scene. Let a chic Washington, D.C. apartment show you how it's done.
8. Give your space the tiled treatment
Add mosaic tile to the walls surrounding your bathtub or shower to create an artful display in your small bathroom, just like we saw in Shana Cohen's cozy cottage in Florida.
9. Play with texture
Take a cue from this Santa Barbara home by bringing some boho flair to a small bathroom. The duo used a mix of textures and textiles, like the woven rug, linen shower curtain, and rattan baskets.
10. Swap out your mirror.
Looking for an easy way to upgrade your small bathroom in a pinch? Replace your current mirror with a more sophisticated one—like the round floral bone mirror we found in this San Francisco apartment—to elevate the entire ambiance of your bathroom. No renovations necessary!
11. Work wonders with wallpaper
As proven in this maximalist Philadelphia home, sprightly floral wallpaper brightens up a tiny powder room with style.
12. Fake it 'til you make it
An oversized mirror, like the round one we spotted in a Michigan home, reflects light and creates the illusion of more space in a tiny bathroom.
13. Picture ledge power
Working with little to no surface space for storage on your pedestal sink? Mount a floating picture ledge above your sink to store cosmetics, perfume bottles, and other small bathroom necessities, as we saw in this Paris apartment.
14. Just keep it simple
A bathroom in a tiny home is about as small as you can get, but this Washington DC abode's bathroom doesn't feel cramped. If you keep products to a minimum and select only your favorite plant or candle to display, things will feel more spacious, even if they're actually far from it.
15. Make a splash with a shower curtain
The cheery shower curtain in a boho-style Bronx apartment creates an artful display in her tiny bathroom.
16. Gallery walls galore
A pair of gallery walls filled with eclectic artwork brings color and personality to a small bathroom—no floor space required, as we found in Apartment Therapy editor Adrienne Breaux's New Orleans home.
17. Wow with a wreath
No room for a house plant? Take a cue from this farmhouse and hang a wreath for an organic touch.
18. Spice it up with sconces
Searching for a stylish way to free up space around your sink? Swingarm sconces—like the ones in this Michigan home—will provide plenty of accent lighting without taking up an inch of surface space.
19. Be bold and bohemian
Usher some boho vibes into your small bathroom by switching out the mirror above your sink with a more eye-catching style, like the colorful one we spotted in this art-filled New Orleans home.
20. Create a chalkboard wall
Cover a single wall in a fresh coat of chalkboard paint to make an artful statement in a small bathroom, which will also keep you entertained while you're in there. Let this Rhode Island home serve as the perfect bathroom inspo.
21. The trim treatment
Bring a pop of color and contrast to your small bathroom by painting your baseboards and door trim in a bright hue. The owner of this Kansas City home nailed this design trick.
22. Embrace the awkward
Maximize a small, awkwardly shaped bathroom by covering the walls with some playful wallpaper, as we saw in this charming house in Edinburgh, Scotland.
23. Go green
24. Lean in
Not working with a ton of wall space to hang art in your tiny bathroom? Learn from Cupcakes and Cashmere founder Emily Schuman and prop a piece of art above your toilet tank. Let it lean against the wall for a sleek, nails-free display like she did inside her Los Angeles home.
25. Think pink
A bold shade of bright fuchsia wall paint turns even the smallest of powder rooms into a glamorous scene, as we saw in a very colorful Minneapolis, Minnesota loft.

If you feel a busy color scheme cramps your style, select two colors—or even just one—and stick with it. This small but stylish New York apartment shows how black and white can make a bathroom appear larger than it is.
32. Wallpaper FTW
Install vibrantly patterned wallpaper in a petite powder room to bring a touch of drama to a hard-to-decorate space, as we saw in this pretty Boston abode.
33. Work your wainscoting
Create contrast in a compact bathroom by painting the wainscoting in a rich neutral shade. In her Michigan powder room, the occupant used a navy blue that doesn't overwhelm the small space.
34. Be bold
Too much of a good thing can be wonderful, and gallery walls in a small bathroom are no exception. Take a cue from this eclectic Nashville home and install floor-to-ceiling gallery displays on every wall of your bathroom for an impactful maximalist scene.
35. Hang out
An extra-long hanging plant—like the wall-length heartleaf philodendron we spotted in this Los Angeles bathroom—naturally draws the eye up so a cramped space seems larger than it actually is.

You can always count on wood-paneled walls to create an outdoorsy atmosphere in your tiny bathroom, just like we saw in this inspiring Austin, Texas abode. Who needs to trek to a log cabin when you have this?

Smaller bathrooms call for smaller fixtures, which in turn leads to a perfectly proportioned space like this sun-soaked barge-turned-home. An itty bitty sink and petite toilet help make the wee bit of square footage in here not feel cramped.
42. Consider a chair
In this Brooklyn brownstone, a pretty porcelain stool brings a burst of color and some extra surface space for storage into a tiny neutral bathroom.
43. Go wild with mosaic tile
Divert attention away from an awkward bathroom layout with colorful mosaic tiled floors and walls, as we saw in a stunning Los Angeles bungalow.
44. Be bold and botanical
When you don't have enough room to place houseplants in your powder room, consider vibrant leaf-patterned wallpaper. This trick definitely pops in a lush Beverly Hills home.
45. Keep plants in the shower
Plant parents don't need to sweat it, if shelf space is taken, and there's no room on the floor. Many plants do perfectly fine chilling with you in the shower. Just take note of how the owners of this stunning Montreal home did it and research to see if your green-fronded friends can find a home in your bathroom. You can even hang a few off of your shower rod!
46. Make a mirrored marvel

The orange shower curtain and blue walls in the bathroom of a stylish New Orleans house pull the eye up and around the space. They also help visually elongate the room, emphasizing the tall ceilings and taking attention off of the narrowness of the space.
51. Beautify with baskets
A good-looking woven basket provides more than enough storage room for rolled towels, bathtub toys, and other bathroom accessories. Let this West Hollywood apartment show you how it's done.

Bring a burst of color into a small, minimalist bathroom by painting your sink cabinets in a vibrant hue, as we saw in this soothing space in a Michigan kit home.
54. Take a seat
A petite side chair provides a place to perch and surface space for tub-side storage in a small bathroom, as seen in this English farmhouse.
55. Go geometric
A shapely wall-mounted storage unit, like the floating brass circle shelf we spotted inside an Oakland apartment, adds some geometric flair (and a storage opportunity) to a tiny bathroom.
56. Find functional furniture
An unexpected but multifunctional piece of furniture, as seen in this Berlin apartment, offers up some much-needed storage space in a small bathroom.
