Go Bold with Fixtures
Just because your space is small doesn’t mean your style has to be. In fact, smaller bathrooms are a great place to have a little fun. A statement sink or faucet, a dramatic mirror, or an eye-catching light fixture can add instant character without taking up any extra square footage. At Mission West Kitchen & Bath, we carry a wide selection of artisan sinks, vintage-inspired fixtures, and modern designs that can turn even the tiniest powder room into a style statement.
Think Vertical for Storage
In small bathrooms, floor space is limited so it’s time to think about building up! Tall cabinets, open shelving above the toilet, or even wall-mounted vanities can give you the storage you need without crowding the room. Built-in niches in the shower or beside the sink are another great way to stash your everyday essentials while keeping the space clean and uncluttered. We can help you choose storage pieces that fit your aesthetic and your footprint.
Play with Tile to Add Personality
Tile is one of the easiest ways to add color, texture, and style to a small bathroom. Whether you go with a bold patterned floor, a striking backsplash behind the vanity, or sleek subway tile that runs all the way up the wall, the right tile choice can completely change how your bathroom feels. And if you want to make your space feel even taller, running tile vertically is a great option. Large-format tiles can also make a small room feel more open, so be sure to consider that when making your tile selections.
Don’t Underestimate the Power of Good Lighting
A dark bathroom instantly feels smaller. Great lighting makes all the difference. Consider layering your light sources to create a mix of ambient, task, and decorative lighting. This can brighten things up and make your space feel more inviting. Wall sconces, pendant lights, or a stylish overhead fixture can all add personality while giving you the light you need. Not sure where to start? We’ve got tons of lighting inspiration in our showroom.
