In the bathroom we must merge both practical and functional aspects with the beauty of the space. To make a small or large bathroom look beautiful, the first thing you need is to be well organized, so we have to resort to certain furniture that allows us to keep all kinds of toiletries and personal grooming accessories that we usually use in this room such as towels, soaps, makeup, etc.

As for furniture for small bathrooms, the challenge comes when our bathroom is a few square meters and we can not incorporate any furniture: Thus, furniture for small bathrooms must be multi-functional.

In general, the furniture for bathrooms must have a design that allows them to be incorporated into the spaces that are available to us, such as walls or corners. In addition, furniture for small bathrooms should take advantage of the empty spaces below other essential elements such as the sink.

 In today's idea book, we will look at some furniture ideas for small bathrooms, through the images of the projects of our professionals, in which we hope you will find your source of inspiration.

Wooden furniture for the bathroom

For bathroom furniture, no matter how big or small, there are many materials and designs that offer a wide range of options that adapt to the style and needs of each person.

But without a doubt, one of the favorite materials for house furniture in general, is wood. Wood is unparalleled natural beauty, which also offers a lot of warmth to the environment. It is also a material that adapts to any decorative style, so it is not surprising that we see it in almost all the proposals of interior designers and decorators. Wooden furniture in small bathrooms are particularly attractive since there's not much space to add decorative objects, wood is responsible for bringing that special touch to the decoration and ambience of the bathroom.

Wooden furniture can be in its natural state, laminated, combined with other finishes and can also include pieces that imitate this fantastic material. 

It is important to mention that a small bathroom must have the essential furniture to make it comfortable and cozy. A bathroom of reduced dimensions with excess furniture will be chaotic and oppressive due to its small condition.

Each piece of furniture must be proportional so that harmony and balance are not lost. Thus, one must study with great precision and carefully select the pieces that we can include to furnish the bathroom.

Next we will see some standard measures of some essential elements in the bathroom, so that you have a clearer idea of the furniture that you can add in your space:

Considering these standard measures, you can choose to buy a sink that has an integrated piece of furniture, which is really the best option because here you will have a storage area enclosed by doors Sliding doors are best to save space and not get in the way of other pieces like the toilet. 

Ideal dimensions of a sink for small bathroom furniture

A small bathroom sink should be at least 60 centimeters deep and 70 centimeters wide. On the sides of the sink we should have room to move easily, so consider some extra space in front and on the sides so you can move around. In front an ideal distance would be 70 centimeters and each side 35 centimeters. (Depending on the distribution of your bathroom, the sink can be attached to a wall, then you only need to consider the 35 centimeters on one side). The height at which the sink should be located is on average 85 centimeters.

If this is not possible, pedestal sinks will allow you to integrate pieces that you can adapt to furnish the bathroom, such as a small cabinet above the sink that matches another that can be placed on top of the toilet.

Shelves in the shower area

Shelves can be placed in different parts of the bathroom such as the shower (to put soap, shampoo and sponges), over the toilet, in a corner, next to the mirror, on a wall next to the sink, etc. Shelves are available in different sizes, materials and colors which makes them also very decorative. For more inspiration, here are 5 bathroom shelving ideas.

Suspended furniture

In small bathrooms, suspended furniture is undoubtedly the best alternative to cause an effect of spaciousness and lightness. The suspended furniture will give the design of the bathroom a vanguard spirit, with a certain charm and sophistication.

Decorative shelves

Shelves are very flexible and versatile because they occupy walls and do not take up much space in the bathroom. All kinds of elements can be placed on the shelves, so they are also a very practical solution to add accessories such as flower vases that will give a much more refined and elegant touch to the bathroom decoration.

Niches

Another alternative to bathroom shelves, if the conditions of the bathroom allow it, are niches. In a deep wall, you can build these beautiful holes that will give a special aesthetic to the bathroom.

Rustic style bathroom cabinet

If the washbasin cabinet does not have doors or drawers and is only a structure with space below it, we can add benches, wicker baskets, or even place a shelf to make it more functional and not to take up unnecessary space.

There are pieces designed in stone or cement that can undoubtedly bring a lot of character to a bathroom space. Please contact our interior designers for further information. 

Protagonist piece

With a small bathroom, you can choose furniture to become protagonist pieces. From materials to shapes, furniture plays an important role in the configuration of our spaces. Natural stone is so versatile that we can find sinks made of this material, which undoubtedly manage to be the center of attention in the bathroom.

The mirror as part of the bathroom furniture

It is essential to place a mirror in the bathroom. The mirror is usually placed 10 centimeters above the sink, if it is a flat mirror. The mirror fulfills several functions inside our bathroom and is not only necessary to be able to shave, comb and put on makeup, but it also brings luminosity and helps the space to feel bigger. But something that is really practical and functional, is that the space behind the mirror, allows us to place a small piece of furniture in which you can store toothpaste, and cosmetics.

Drawers

Drawers are extremely necessary inside a bathroom. Their presence will depend on the style of furniture that we have chosen.The drawers must have enough capacity so that the personal items of this room can be placed inside.

Lighting in the furniture for a small and modern bathroom

In small bathrooms no excesses of any kind fit, that's why the design of the furniture is so important because they are precisely these pieces that give character and personality to the environment of our bathroom. A small bathroom does not have to be limited in lack of style and elegance. In this proposal, the washbasin cabinet is designed with a very attractive lighting system.
