Design ideas for small bathrooms (2024)

French native Eva Ivos also took different generations into account in her design: “I wanted the bathroom to be adaptable and durable in order to offer quality, a timeless design and, above all, a response to the evolution of users over time, regardless of their age and mobility.” These aspects can be realised with a clever choice of products, as her design shows.

Another design approach is to divide the bathroom into functional zones. These can be demarcated with room separators or decorations. For architect Andrin Schweizer (CH) it is the “harmoniously coordinated materials and a clever room structure that create elegance and intimacy.”

For the young mother Iveta Lajdová from the Czech Republic, excitement and contrasts are important. She deliberately incorporated breaks in style into her bathroom design, giving the room structure, excitement and at the same time a hygge atmosphere – in other words, a Nordic cosiness. She combines symmetrical washbasins with asymmetrical mirrors and organically round styles with industrial elements. Our tip: functional zones give a room structure.

Every bathroom can be given an individual touch with plants and soft, flowing furnishings. As bathrooms are rooms for the senses, the aim is for users to feel comfortable and at ease. “We used very natural, haptic and sensual materials,” says Tilla Goldberg from the German Ippolito Fleitz Group. Her tip: plants of all shapes and sizes give the room something natural and inspiring. Plants “inhabit” the room, even when nobody is around.
