Innovative Bathroom Design Tips for Small Spaces
Welcome to our ultimate guide on how to design a small bathroom with style and efficiency. In today's homes, making the most of every inch is essential, especially in bathrooms. Whether you have a tiny urban apartment or a cozy guest bathroom, these tips will help you turn your space into a stylish retreat.
Sliding Doors: Save Space and Look Sleek
Sliding doors are perfect for small bathrooms. They slide horizontally on a track instead of swinging open, which saves space. They're modern and come in glass, wood, or metal to match your bathroom's style. Plus, they're easy to open, great for tight spots, and let more natural light in.
Soft Colors: Create a Peaceful Atmosphere
Choose light colors like beige, gray, or pale blue to make your bathroom feel peaceful and larger. These colors bounce light around, brightening up even small or windowless bathrooms. They also go well with different bathroom fixtures and accessories.
Vertical Storage: Use Space Wisely
Install tall cabinets or shelves to store towels and toiletries. This draws the eye upward, making your bathroom look taller and more open. It's perfect for small bathrooms with limited floor space and keeps everything organized and within reach.
Lighting Tricks: Brighten Up
Use glass, mirrors, and reflective tiles to bounce light around your bathroom. LED strips or recessed lighting create a soft glow that removes shadows and makes your bathroom feel welcoming. Keep windows clear for natural light and use wall sconces for task lighting.
Functional Decor: Style with Purpose
Decorate with items that look good and serve a purpose, like decorative baskets or wall-mounted organizers. They add style and keep your bathroom neat by storing things off countertops.
Minimalist Design: Keep It Simple
Focus on what you need to keep your bathroom clean and organized. A minimalist look reduces clutter and makes your bathroom feel calm and functional.
Built-in Storage: Clever Solutions
Maximize space with built-in shelves or cabinets that blend into your bathroom's design. Mirrored cabinets hide storage and add style without taking up extra space. Coordinate them with your bathroom's look for a seamless design.
Customized Touches: Personalize Your Space
Consider custom shower cabinets that fit perfectly in corners or niches to save space and add a unique touch to your bathroom. Customizing lets you design a bathroom that's stylish and practical.
Slim Storage: Use Every Inch
Add narrow shelves or hooks on empty walls for extra storage without using up floor space. This keeps essentials organized and easy to find, keeping your bathroom tidy.
Mirrors for Space: Create Illusions
Use large mirrors or mirrored panels to make your bathroom look bigger and brighter. They add elegance and functionality by reflecting light and opening up your bathroom.
Perfect Lighting: Illuminate Well
Design a lighting plan with ambient, task, and accent lights to make your bathroom both functional and inviting. Good lighting makes a small bathroom feel more spacious and comfortable.
Vanity Solutions: Storage with Style
Pick vanities with drawers or cabinets to keep your bathroom organized and stylish. Functional designs make sure your bathroom looks good while staying efficient.
Spacious Basin: Comfort First
Choose a basin with more space to make your bathroom easier to use. Thoughtful designs help you get ready every day without sacrificing style.
Natural Light: Brighten Up
Increase natural light by getting bigger windows or installing more windows. This makes your bathroom brighter and connects it to the outdoors, making it a refreshing place.
Stylish Storage: Organize in Style
Use stylish baskets or bins to store toiletries and towels. They add warmth and texture to your bathroom while keeping things tidy.
Skylight Beauty: Add a Skylight
Consider adding a skylight for more natural light and ventilation. Skylights create an open and inviting atmosphere, making your bathroom more comfortable and beautiful.
Flooring Choices: Explore Options
Try mosaic tiles or textured materials for flooring that looks good and is easy to clean. Durable surfaces match your bathroom's design and make sure it's practical and stylish.
Conclusion
Designing a small bathroom is all about creativity and planning. Use these innovative tips—from saving space with sliding doors and using vertical storage to brightening up with lighting and mirrors—to transform your small bathroom into a stylish and functional oasis. Whether you're refreshing your current space or starting from scratch, enjoy making a bathroom that shows off your style and works well for you.

namesake mcmansion
Howdy folks! Today's McMansion is very special because a) we're returning to Maryland after a long time and b) because the street this McMansion is on is the same as my name. (It was not named after me.) Hence, it is my personal McMansion, which I guess is somewhat like when people used to by the name rights to stars even though it was pretty much a scam. (Shout out btw to my patron Andros who submitted this house to be roasted live on the McMansion Hell Patreon Livestream)
As far as namesake McMansions go, this one is pretty good in the sense that it is high up there on the ol' McMansion scale. Built in 2011, this psuedo-Georgian bad boy boasts 6 bedrooms and 9.5 baths, all totaling around 12,000 square feet. It'll run you 2.5 million which, safe to say, is exponentially larger than its namesake's net worth.
Now, 2011 was an anonymous year for home design, lingering in the dead period between the 2008 black hole and 2013 when the market started to actually, finally, steadily recover. As a result a lot of houses from this time basically look like 2000s McMansions but slightly less outrageous in order to quell recession-era shame.
I'm going to be so serious here and say that the crown molding in this room is a crime against architecture, a crime against what humankind is able to accomplish with mass produced millwork, and also a general affront to common sense. I hate it so much that the more I look at it the more angry I become and that's really not healthy for me so, moving on.
Actually, aside from the fake 2010s distressed polyester rug the rest of this room is literally, basically Windows 98 themed.
I feel like the era of massive, hefty sets of coordinated furniture are over. However, we're the one's actually missing out by not wanting this stuff because we will never see furniture made with real wood instead of various shades of MDF or particleboard ever again.
This is a top 10 on the scale of "least logical kitchen I've ever seen." It's as though the designers engineered this kitchen so that whoever's cooking has to take the most steps humanly possible.
Do you ever see a window configuration so obviously made up by window companies in the 1980s that you almost have to hand it to them? You're literally letting all that warmth from the fire just disappear. But whatever I guess it's fine since we basically just LARP fire now.
Feminism win because women's spaces are prioritized in a shared area or feminism loss because this is basically the bathroom vanity version of women be shopping? (It's the latter.)
I couldn't get to all of this house because there were literally over a hundred photos in the listing but there are so many spaces in here that are basically just half-empty voids, and if not that then actually, literally unfinished. It's giving recession. Anyway, now for the best part:
Not only is this the NBA Backrooms but it's also just a nonsensical basketball court. Tile floors? No lines? Just free balling in the void?
Oh, well I bet the rear exterior is totally normal.
Not to be all sincere about it but much like yours truly who has waited until the literal last second to post this McMansion, this house really is the epitome of hubris all around. Except the house's hubris is specific to this moment in time, a time when gas was like $2/gallon. It's climate hubris. It's a testimony to just how much energy the top 1% of income earners make compared to the rest of us. I have a single window unit. This house has four air conditioning condensers. That's before we get to the monoculture, pesticide-dependent lawn or the three car garage or the asphalt driveway or the roof that'll cost almost as much as the house to replace. We really did think it would all be endless. Oops.
