Surely many of us dream of a spaciousbathroom, where you can splash around in the shower and soak in a free-standing antique bathtub on lion's paws. But the reality is that in most homes, these much-needed spaces are barely larger than a handkerchief. Don't be upset, really: the modern market offers a lot of useful devices and elements, such as miniature bathtubs and compact showers, that can improve the ergonomics and efficiency of even the smallest of spaces. White should probably be the main color in the palette of colors for tight spaces, but you don't have to completely abandon bright solutions in yours. Quite the opposite. By playing with shadow and light, color saturation and contrast, you can create an individual interior and breathe life into a space that risked seeming almost sterile.
1. Buy a miniature bath
Some modern models of freestandingbathtubs are so compact that you can definitely squeeze one of them into your interior. It would be great if you can play with the unusual shape of the room and install a bathtub, for example, at the base of the ceiling vault. The small space has its advantages. You can safely spend money on luxury elements and accessories without having to break the bank.
2. Take the corner space
Corner shower cabins are the best solution forcreating a convenient layout for bathrooms that do not want to fit into standard frames. Hanging furniture creates the illusion of volume, allowing you to see the connection between the floor and the wall.
3. Choose a calm palette
Don't shy away from color in a compact space.Look at the photo: the duck egg blue hue used in the ceiling, floor and paneling draws our gaze deeper into the landscape outside the window. And isn't it the perfect color for a solitary soak in a warm bath?

This bathroom with a sloping ceiling has a small shower cabin measuring 1 x 1.5 meters, which is equipped in the part of the room where the wall is the highest. The bathtub is on the opposite side and shows off its magnificent, almost jewelry-like decor. The built-in cabinet under the sink seems quite roomy.

In this bathroom, every inch of space is taken up with custom-made shelving units that fit perfectly into the only available corner and an unusual niche in the wall. Simple wooden blocks look very natural in this laconic interior.
