An upcycled end table is a smart solution for supporting a sink in a small space. If you choose one with a built-in magazine shelf, you can stack bath linens underneath. Here, the faucet is wall-mounted and spills into a Kohler Conical Bell vessel sink.

Light + Bright

This small bathroom has a hip modern feel thanks to light-colored tiles on the floor and wall and a metallic mirror to keep the room light and bright.

Graphic Black And White Wallpapered Powder Room

Graphic black and white wallpaper makes a big statement in this small powder room. A simple porcelain sink and slim mirror keep don't compete with the bold wallpaper, so as not to overwhelm the space.

Minimalist Bathroom

Keep bathroom decor minimal for easier cleaning. A simple flower arrangement or inexpensive moss arrangement, guest towels and guest soaps make this bathroom by designer Jonathan Savage a study in elegant simplicity.

Wallpaper Trick

Designer Jonathan Savage demonstrated a no-cost but high-impact touch in a bathroom by wallpapering the light switch in the same paper he used for the bathroom.

Wallpaper Counts

Make a bold statement in a small space with wallpaper. If you’re not sure about wallpaper, a small bathroom is a great place to try it out.

Cute Storage

When faced with a tight bathroom, designers have to get creative when planning storage, as with these storage boxes hung from the wall as a space-saving device.
