How to arrange a small bathroom with a bathtub?

A small bathroom is quite a challenge. When arranging it, it is worth starting with a good plan to ensure that every centimeter of space is used effectively. Interior designers demonstrate that with the right products and creativity, arranging a small bathroom with a bathtub is not a problem at all. Proof of the designers' assurances is the offer from Mexen, which creates practically unlimited possibilities for implementing various, sometimes unconventional solutions. See for yourself.

A small bathroom with a bathtub? Why not?

When arranging a small bathroom, we do not have to give up a bathtub. Mexen offers many models in different sizes and shapes. The smallest rectangular bathtubs are already 150 cm long and 70 cm wide. They will definitely fit even on the shortest wall of any bathroom, while also providing comfort for tall individuals. A convenient location of the drain in the middle or on the side will allow for easy connection of the bathtub to the existing sewage system.

And is there room for a freestanding bathtub in a small bathroom? Of course, a freestanding bathtub looks best in spacious rooms, but if you decide on the smallest model measuring 150 x 70 cm, you will surely be able to fit such a bathtub even in a small bathroom. Additionally, a small bathroom will gain originality, as Mexen bathtubs have fanciful shapes and interesting colors. We can place them directly on the floor, or buy a bathtub mounted on legs. And if the arrangement of a small bathroom resembles a retro style, it’s worth paying attention to the beautifully decorated legs in gold, silver, or copper colors. As you can see, a small bathroom with a bathtub can have a unique style!

A small bathroom in a block doesn’t have to be drab

There is a common belief that a small bathroom in a block is an unassuming and not very attractive room. It doesn't have to be that way at all. A good design, interesting arrangement, and equipment arranged in a perfectly planned space can make a small bathroom reminiscent of the PRL era look like a bathroom from online ads. Tasteful additions, a large mirror, original tiles, and stylish furniture will complete the whole and make the interior of the small bathroom take on a designer character. Here’s how to arrange a small bathroom.

A bathtub with a hydromassage will definitely add attractiveness to a small bathroom. With it, you can create a home spa in the limited space of the room. If our small bathroom with a bathtub is really small, it's worth considering a corner bathtub solution. It is compact but very spacious. Thanks to its asymmetrical shape, it looks incredibly interesting while taking up little space. In the other corner of the bathroom, we can arrange a shower area or use the space for a small sink or a shelf with a washing machine installed underneath.

A practical solution that works best in a small bathroom and satisfies both bathtub lovers and shower cabin enthusiasts are bathtub screens. These are accessories that can be purchased for Mexen bathtubs, and thanks to them, one can easily transform a bathtub into a shower. Such a 2-in-1 solution satisfies all users while saving space in the room, allowing for the installation of other essential devices in a small bathroom with a bathtub.

A small bathroom requires optical enlargement

A small bathroom is not like a stretchable fabric – it will not widen. However, there are tricks that can help us visually enlarge the interior. Inspirations and ready-made projects, as well as bathroom designs, can be found online. All you need to do is search for ideas on how to arrange a small bathroom and use the selected project to decorate your own space. Here are some tips on how to visually enlarge a room:

• choose an appropriately large mirror and place it directly across from the entrance in your small bathroom,

• buy furniture with glossy fronts, as mirror and shiny surfaces visually enlarge the space,

• invest in a wall-mounted toilet and sink - your small bathroom with a bathtub will appreciate it,

• opt for smooth tiles, preferably in very light colors: white, sandy, beige, or in soft pastel shades of pink, mint, blue, etc.,

• avoid flashy color accents and limit accessories that clutter the bathroom,

• lay the terracotta tiles on the floor diagonally and the wall tiles horizontally,

• manage lighting wisely,

• use a small nook in the bathroom to install a walk-in shower there,

• utilize every free space, even the one above the washer or bathtub, to install shelves.

A small bathroom in a block – summary

All inspirations and ideas for arranging a small bathroom must focus on maintaining minimalism and creating the illusion that the space we have is larger than it actually is. In a small interior, it’s worth placing devices that serve a dual function, therefore being both decorative and functional. A shiny radiator, a walk-in shower with a transparent glass, a large mirror, and appropriately arranged lights that reflect off the tiles will create an optical enlargement of the space. Thanks to this, even if we strongly populate a small bathroom with a bathtub, we can avoid the feeling of overcrowding.
