<p dir="ltr">Picture the most beautiful bathroom you&rsquo;ve ever seen. Now imagine everything in it &mdash; even the room itself &mdash; is 50% smaller. You have to admit, it&rsquo;s still beautiful.</p>
<p dir="ltr">That&rsquo;s how small bathroom design works. You don&rsquo;t have to sacrifice style because you have a small space. You just have to make sure every piece of decor is to scale with the room. So instead of choosing a 60-inch bath mat, you might choose a 24-inch one.</p>
<p dir="ltr">You may also have to get creative with your bathroom storage ideas to ensure everything you need fits in your space. But with a lot of measuring and a little organization, you can create a small bathroom that&rsquo;s as beautiful as it is functional.</p>
<p dir="ltr">We&rsquo;ll explain how to measure your bathroom for decor and share 12 small bathroom decor ideas to help you curate your scaled-down space.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">The secret to decorating small spaces</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The secret is simple: Measure. You should measure before purchasing decor for any room in your house. But with small spaces &mdash; like your small bathroom &mdash; it&rsquo;s even more important.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Small rooms are unforgiving. If a piece of decor is even an inch too big, you&rsquo;ll notice. It could make your small bathroom feel more cramped, or it could be too big to fit. So measure everything. Then measure again.</p>
<p dir="ltr">One of our favorite tricks to ensure our measurements are correct is to use painter&rsquo;s tape. We tape off the area where we want to put a piece of decor.</p>
<p dir="ltr">With the area taped off, we can imagine the decor in the room, see how much space it will take up, and even practice walking around it (if it&rsquo;s furniture that will sit on the floor). This trick will help you decide if you need to go smaller or bigger with your decor to make the most of your space.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">12 small bathroom decor ideas</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Whether you live in a tiny apartment with a tiny bathroom or are decorating a guest bathroom, these 12 small bathroom decor ideas will transform your space. And not one of them requires a bathroom remodel.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">1. A minimalist mirror</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><img style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/images/blogs/coaster-minimalist-mirror.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p dir="ltr">Swapping built-in contractor mirrors for a modern framed mirror will instantly elevate your bathroom walls without a major remodel. (It&rsquo;s a <a href="https://www.11magnolialane.com/how-to-safely-remove-that-large-builder-bathroom-mirror/">project that you can DIY</a> in one weekend.) The slim frame of the <a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Entryway-%26-Decor/O%27Malley-Wall-Mirror/961488">O'Malley Round Framed Wall Mirror</a> makes it a good fit for a small bathroom. The minimalist round silhouette pairs beautifully with modern bathroom decor.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">2. A storage mirror for the smallest vanities</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Entryway-%26-Decor/Oriel-Wall-Mirror/961631"><img style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/images/blogs/coaster-storage-mirror-smallest%20vanities.png" alt=""></a></p>
<p dir="ltr">In a truly tiny bathroom, every small bathroom decor idea needs to do double duty &mdash; adding both style and storage. The <a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Entryway-%26-Decor/Oriel-Wall-Mirror/961631">Oriel Wall Mirror</a> is only 23.5 inches wide, so it even fits over 24-inch vanities, the smallest of the standard sizes. It has three open shelves where you can organize your toothbrush and toiletries.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">3. A glamorous wall mirror</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Entryway-%26-Decor/Tuscany-Wall-Mirror/961449"><img style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/images/blogs/coaster-glamorous-wall-mirror.png" alt=""></a></p>
<p dir="ltr">Small spaces don&rsquo;t have to be small on style. Add a touch of glamour to your small bathroom design with an elaborate gold mirror, like the <a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Entryway-%26-Decor/Tuscany-Wall-Mirror/961449">Tuscany Wall Mirror</a>. The feathered frame works with both Art Deco and global-inspired interior design. And the 35-inch width is ideal above a 36-inch countertop.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">4. A glamorous mirror, but make it modern</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Entryway-%26-Decor/Dorinda-Wall-Mirror/961455"><img style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/images/blogs/coaster-glamorous-mirror-modern.png" alt=""></a></p>
<p dir="ltr">Another mirror to place above a 36-inch bathroom vanity, the <a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Entryway-%26-Decor/Dorinda-Wall-Mirror/961455">Dorinda 36-Inch Round Mirror</a> has veins of gold around the frame. It&rsquo;s a glamorous interpretation of <a href="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/organic-modern">organic modern decor</a>. This bathroom mirror makes a striking focal point in any small bathroom.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">5. A slightly larger vanity mirror</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Entryway-%26-Decor/Dexter-Wall-Mirror/961463"><img style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/images/blogs/coaster-slightly-larger-vanity-mirror.png" alt=""></a></p>
<p dir="ltr">If you have a little more wall space and a slightly larger bathroom vanity, the <a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Entryway-%26-Decor/Dexter-Wall-Mirror/961463">Dexter 40-Inch Round Wall Mirror</a> adds texture to your decor with its fluted frame. High-end interior designers choose decor with a lot of texture to add depth to a room design. You can use this trick in your home decor to make your space feel more sophisticated.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">6. Storage baskets</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://stock.adobe.com/images/bathroom-interior-with-wicker-baskets-and-accessories-for-skin-and-body-care-eco-friendly-concept/575025687"><img style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/images/blogs/coaster-storage-baskets.jpg" alt=""></a></p>
<p dir="ltr">Baskets are another bathroom design idea that adds texture to your space. They also add essential small bathroom storage, especially if your room features a pedestal sink or floating vanity. You can use baskets to wrangle your toiletries, organize your bathroom vanity, and decorate your floating shelves. They&rsquo;re a small bathroom decor idea that adds both functionality and beauty to your space.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">7. A separate makeup vanity</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Bedroom/Danbury-Vanity-Set/930210"><img style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/images/blogs/coaster-separate-makeup-vanity.png" alt=""></a></p>
<p dir="ltr">If you have an empty corner or even an in-bathroom linen closet where you can sacrifice the lower shelves, you can likely fit the <a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Makeup-Vanities-/Danbury-Vanity-Set/930209">Danbury Vanity Set</a>. At just 23 inches wide, this piece has an extra small footprint. It will give you a space to primp in your powder room and can save your faucet from constantly getting covered in makeup dust.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The black finish is perfect for updating an all-white bathroom to embrace the <a href="https://www.homebeautiful.com.au/home-ideas/black-and-white-gingham-interiors-trend/">trendy black-and-white color scheme</a>. But this vanity set also comes in a <a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Bedroom/Danbury-Vanity-Set/930208">high-gloss white</a> or<a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Bedroom/Danbury-Vanity-Set/930210"> high-gloss grey finish</a>.&nbsp;</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">8. Complementary bath mats and shower curtain</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Small accessories like your bath mat, towels, and shower curtain can add a pop of color to your bathroom decor. Most bathroom tiles and floor tiles are neutral because they can&rsquo;t be changed without a full bathroom remodel. (It&rsquo;s why white tiles were so popular for so long.)</p>
<p dir="ltr">Even bringing in a slightly different neutral tone can add depth to your space, but you can also choose brights, pastels, or bold jewel tones. Your accessories should complement each other, but they don&rsquo;t have to be an exact match. For example, if you choose a printed shower curtain, you can select towels in one color from the print and bath mats in a different color. Choosing accessories with rich textures will also add depth to the space.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">9. A floor-length mirror</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Entryway-%26-Decor/Cragen-Floor-Mirror/902767"><img style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/images/blogs/coaster-floor-length-mirror.png" alt=""></a></p>
<p dir="ltr">The mirror above your bathroom vanity doesn&rsquo;t have to be the only mirror in the room. Adding a floor-length mirror, like the <a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Entryway-%26-Decor/Cragen-Floor-Mirror/902767">Cragen Wood Frame Floor Mirror</a>, is one of our favorite hacks to brighten a small bathroom. Mirrors reflect more natural light around a room and make the space feel larger and more open. A <a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Mirrors?PId=MTE5OQ%3D%3D&amp;CId=MTM4Ng%3D%3D">floor mirror</a> can even help you pull off a darker paint color without making the space look smaller.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">10. Wall sconces</h3>
<p dir="ltr">More light makes any room feel bigger. And yet, most bathrooms only have one light fixture above the bathroom mirror. You can improve your bathroom lighting by adding additional fixtures, like wall sconces on either side of your bathroom mirror or wall art. This will brighten up your small space and make it feel less cramped.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">11. Floating shelves</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Dining-Room/Elmcrest-24-Inch-Wall-Shelf/804426"><img style="width: 100%;" src="https://www.coasterfurniture.com/images/blogs/coaster-floating-shelves.png" alt=""></a></p>
<p dir="ltr">Floating shelves, like the <a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Dining-Room/Elmcrest-24-Inch-Wall-Shelf/804426">Elmcrest 24-Inch Wall Bookshelf</a>, add much-needed storage without taking up floor space. You can hang them above the toilet or on any open wall. Then add baskets, rolled-up towels, toiletries, or spare rolls of toilet paper to keep all your powder room essentials within reach.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">12. A tiny table</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Living-Room/Elton-Side-Table/900934"><img src='https://www.coasterfurniture.com/images/blogs/coaster-tiny-table.png' alt='' style='width:100%'></a></p>
<p dir="ltr">A tiny table or a plant stand used as a table is an accessible bathroom storage idea that fits even the tiniest bathrooms. The <a href="https://coasterfurniture.com/furniture/category/Living-Room/Elton-Side-Table/900934">Elton Round Accent Table</a> is only 18 inches wide. It provides enough extra storage to organize your toiletries without taking up too much space. Place a small basket on both the tabletop and the bottom shelf to keep your small space tidy.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Small bathroom decor and more</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Your small bathroom ideas can be as big as you can dream up &mdash; as long as the actual decor is small.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Oversized pieces will make your small space feel smaller even if they do (just barely) fit in the room. So stick to small mirrors, tiny tables, and beautiful but functional pieces like baskets and bath mats.</p>
