When your bathroom is on the teeny side, it can feel impossible—or impractical—to intentionally design it. You might be thanking your lucky stars that a toilet, sink, and (maybe) a shower can even fit in there.
However, while they pose their fair share of challenges, tiny bathrooms are also an opportunity to play around with your style—especially if there are clever storage solutions and practical layouts to lend a hand.
We tapped two interior designers for their tips on how to lay out and decorate a tiny bathroom so that it works for you—and is simple on the eyes—all at once.

Utilize Vertical Space

When floor space is constrained in your bathroom, utilizing other surfaces is indispensable—especially vertical space.
“Lifting [larger storage items or fixtures] off the floor can lend a hand make the space feel less crowded,” Ruthie Tane, interior designer and tiny space decorator, explains.
This can look like adhesive shelving above the toilet, or other renter-friendly storage solutions.
“For tiny bathrooms with only a pedestal sink, I would recommend a wall-mounted cabinet over the toilet as that’s the most under-utilized space in a bathroom,” says Shamika Lynch, founder of tiny space interior design studio Maximizing Tiny.
A kitchen cabinet upper from your favorite home improvement store can even do the trick, Lynch notes—especially if it can be installed without a drill. Still, classic fixtures can be helpful additions, too.

In a tiny space, it might feel counterintuitive to make it flashy. However, bathrooms are actually a ripe opportunity to stir up your imagination, as they can feel like a separate portal from the rest of your apartment.
“I’m a substantial believer that tiny powder rooms should be used as a place to show off quirky or unique pieces,” Tane says. “That dazzling colored sink basin or wild wallpaper you love but are too scared to employ elsewhere in your home? The tiny powder room is the perfect place to go wild.”
In particular, Lynch enjoys extending tiling upwards in a saturated color.
“Tiling to the ceiling helps the eye continue all the way up, similarly to a paint color in a room,” Lynch elaborates. “You don’t have to have a white bathroom just because it’s tiny. Don’t be afraid to go for a more tonal look.”
Make Your Shower Feel Taller
Victoria Bell Design
Showers can sometimes make a bathroom feel even smaller if they aren’t optimized for the space. To make it feel less compact, it can be helpful to extend the shower curtain from it’s usual place a couple feet below the ceiling to all the way up.
It’s as straightforward as placing a tension rod close to or flush with the ceiling. Then, get longer shower curtains and drape them from it. This offers the illusion of your shower and bathroom being taller that they actually are—and saves space since there’s no shower door swinging open.
If you have a shower door already installed, it can be helpful to replace your shower door entirely if you can get permission from your landlord.
“Consider a bifold shower door to conserve every bit of square footage you have,” Lynch says. “This is particularly helpful when navigating around tight doorways and plumbing.”
Get Smart with Lighting and Layouts
In a compact bathroom, the right lighting can make it feel more broad.
“Adding multiple lighting sources is vital!” Tane insists. “By including a sconce (or two) at the sink in addition to the overhead featherlight, you can make the space feel a bit larger.”
You might also consider nontraditional layouts, if you’re starting from scratch.
“For a narrow powder room, it’s generally most convenient to place the toilet facing the sink,” Tane says.
