How to arrange a small bathroom in a modern style?
Modern, small bathrooms should be arranged in a thoughtful, orderly and useful way. The current trend on the market is minimalism. When planning the design of your own room, remember these basic features of modern arrangements. We also cannot forget about selecting the necessary products to equip the bathroom .
A small, modern bathroom - colors and lighting
The most important aspect in arranging small rooms is to ensure the correct color scheme of the interior and its optimal lighting. Modern bathrooms are decorated in shades of white, beige, brown, gray and sometimes black. If you have limited space, it is worth keeping the interior design in light colors, which will optically enlarge the room.
Another important element is appropriate lighting . We should make sure that as much sunlight as possible enters the bathroom, because as we know, daylight is the most beneficial. Moreover, regardless of the dimensions and surface of the windows, it is worth ensuring friendly and sufficiently strong main lighting - e.g. in the form of a modern wall lamp or halogen meshes with LED bulbs in the suspended ceiling. Such luminaires will give the impression of a more spacious interior. By placing the luminaires on the edges of the ceiling, we will obtain an additional lighting effect on the walls. Additional illumination of the mirror is also important. Both the main and additional lighting should be kept in a color as close as possible to the color of daylight. Additional light fixtures should be placed symmetrically in relation to the mirror at a height of approximately 160 cm above the floor. Lamps to illuminate the mirror may have a milky or matte coating to limit light exposure.
Which tiles should you choose for a small, modern bathroom?
Glaze is the decorative element that definitely influences the style of bathroom interior design the most. When choosing bathroom tiles for a small room, it is worth choosing subdued shades with a properly matched grout color. You should avoid expressive patterns, thick textures or too contrasting grout. Minimalism reigns supreme in modern interiors.
White structural tiles combined with matte accessories will be perfect for a modern bathroom. White glaze will brighten the interior, give it a sense of order and harmony, and at the same time ensure its light, subtle character. Matte accessories should be placed on a single wall, near the shower zone or near a mirror.
Arranging a small bathroom in a modern style is often the art of creating visually attractive contrasts . Definitely one of the most interesting arrangements can be aesthetically breaking the white in the bathroom with a small amount of black, dark gray or brown structural tiles. This effect can also be slightly modified - choose one contrasting wall and enrich it with white tiles.

This effect can also be slightly modified - choose one contrasting wall and enrich it with white tiles. This color play will allow you to create a visually attractive, expressive composition that will not dominate the bathroom space.
Fittings and sanitary devices for a modern bathroom
When selecting fittings and sanitary accessories for small bathrooms, we should pay attention primarily to the following variables:
- practicality,
- comfort of use,
- adapting to the needs of household members.
When arranging the interior of a small bathroom, it is worth starting with the selection of a washbasin . A small bathroom can be equipped with both a washbasin embedded in the countertop and a countertop washbasin - depending on your taste. An important issue is the size of the washbasin - the fittings should be large enough to be comfortable to use. In terms of design, both round and square washbasins work well in modern bathrooms. An interesting solution for a small bathroom is the rectangular Nova Pro 60 washbasin.

The washbasin tap should match the height and length of the spout to the selected washbasin. It cannot be too small, as it will significantly reduce the comfort of washing your hands. For countertop washbasins, you should choose a special, suitably higher floor-standing tap . When choosing a faucet, it is worth taking into account not only its design matching the appearance of the washbasin, but above all the size and structure of the installed head, the type of drain plug and the material from which the aerator is made, i.e. the strainer at the end of the tap.
Faucets with ceramic heads are perfect for modern bathrooms, ensuring high flow class and low noise level, and equipped with silicone aerators that reduce the rate of limescale deposits at the spout outlet.
Its interesting, modern design and excellent technical parameters include: Zenta single-lever washbasin faucet by Kludi.
A small bathroom will go perfectly with a toilet bowl on a flush-mounted frame . Installing the frame will provide a little more space in the room and at the same time ensure its aesthetic and modern appearance. The frame eagerly chosen by Polish professionals is the Grohe Rapid SL 5in1 product. Installing the frame will provide a little more space in the room and at the same time ensure its aesthetic and modern appearance. The frame most often chosen by Polish professionals is the Grohe RAPID SL 5-in-1 concealed frame.
A modern, small bathroom is usually equipped with a shower cabin with a low shower tray. The most adjustable and at the same time the most popular are semi-circular cabins with hinged doors, which fit perfectly into the interior of a small and functional bathroom. An example is the Ravak BLIX BLCP4-80 cabin. Inside the cabin, it is worth installing a shower set with a rain shower and a shower faucet. Ready-made shower sets will be perfect here - e.g. the Grohe New Tempesta Cosmopolitan shower set with a thermostatic tap.
If you want to arrange a modern bathroom, but your main limitation is the small size, remember a few basic rules. Pay special attention to the selection of appropriate colors and lighting - light shades (beige, gray, white) work best in small interiors. Take care of the lighting in the room - including the space near the mirror. In small interiors, choose optimal fittings that ensure comfort of use - for example the Nova Pro 60 rectangular washbasin , the Zenta single-lever washbasin faucet by Kludi and the Ravak BLIX BLCP4-80 cabin .
