In Montreal, many homes—condos, apartments, and townhouses—have small bathrooms . However, with a few thoughtful changes, it's entirely possible to transform a small space into a room that's functional, aesthetically pleasing, and pleasant to live in. Here are 6 practical ideas for making the most of your small bathroom.
Favor compact and suspended furniture
Wall-mounted furniture frees up floor space and creates a sense of lightness. Compact models with integrated storage provide added functionality without cluttering the room .
Choosing a walk-in shower
The Italian shower is ideal for small spaces. With no threshold and often placed directly on the floor, it allows for easy movement while giving the impression of a larger space. Combined with a glass wall, it lets light through and adds depth.
Use light colors and reflective materials
Neutral tones (white, beige, light gray) and shiny materials (tiles, mirrors, lacquers) visually amplify the space . A large, well-positioned mirror can multiply the lighting effects and enlarge the room.
Exploiting the heights
In small bathrooms, every inch counts. Consider installing shelves or wall cabinets up to the ceiling , or even storage above the toilet. This helps declutter low surfaces while maximizing storage capacity.
Choose suitable lighting
Well-designed lighting not only helps you see better, but also visually enlarges the room. Ideally, you should combine:
A uniform general light
Targeted lighting around the mirror
Soft ambient lighting for greater comfort
Integrate multifunctional elements
A mirror with built-in storage, a vanity with compartmentalized drawers, or even a shower bar that also serves as a towel rack are all smart solutions for maximizing functionality in a small space.
