Bathrooms are highly functional spaces. They can also be turned into luxurious and relaxing sanctuaries if you select the right accessories, decor, and style. However, when it comes to condos, bathroom design ideas face unique challenges, like space.
Nevertheless, this shouldn’t stop you from turning your condo bathroom design ideas into reality. You can realise your aesthetic vision and biggest remodeling goals whether modern, classic, extravagant, futuristic, or minimalistic, you name it!
The right condo bathroom upgrades will create order, beauty, and personality, improve maintenance/ease of cleaning, and more while still creating an illusion of more space. Let’s get right into it and discuss some top bathroom design ideas to consider.
- Tub-to-Shower Conversion
If your condo bathroom already has a bathtub that makes the space feel extremely cramped, you can convert your tub into a shower instead. We recommend a complete overhaul that includes replacing framing so that you correct any issues before installing your new wall material and shower pan.
While a tub-to-shower conversion will offer instant space gains, it should be done by experts who understand plumbing system repercussions as well as the condominium rules and regulations that must be adhered to.
- Timeless Marble
If you want that high-end condo bathroom feel, marble should be your first choice. The material adds timeless elegance and comes with unmatched versatility. There are very many marble-resembling/matching bathroom materials/accessories making it a perfect choice for executing several different condo bathroom design concepts.
Marble is also great for floors, walls, and counters. What’s more, while you may be short of space, at least you’ll have an elegant bathroom that will leave yourself and your guests in awe.
- Think Wall-to-Wall Mirrors and Glass Shower Doors
Mirrors are perfect for creating an illusion of spaciousness. While they won’t physically expand your condo bathroom, they’ll cleverly deceive the eye into believing there is more space beyond. Forget about typical bathroom mirrors. This idea is best implemented by installing a frameless wall-to-wall mirror that dominates one bathroom wall and doubles the bathroom’s visual depth.
You could also use mirrors to create an airy atmosphere by capturing and redirecting light around the bathroom. While at it, add a glass shower door to enlarge your space. Windowpane glass shower doors also create an illusion of being in a room that “goes on” for miles.
- Think Vertically
As you upgrade your condo bathroom, it also helps to focus on vertical space. Consider mounting extra accessories as this is a great way of using every inch of vertical space in your bathroom. This may require hanging things from walls/ceilings in place of sink cabinets.
For instance, you can consider designing some hanging baskets for your shower storage to save space while making your condo bathroom look chic. It also helps to use floating shelves for storing toiletries as this can create the perfect balance between form and functionality.
- Choose a Minimalist Theme
If you’re thinking about bathroom condo space and themes and want your “less to be more”, a minimalistic theme can achieve this perfectly. Start by focusing on monochromatic color schemes that create a unified look using a single color or range of colors with similar shades. Monochromatic palettes make spaces appear larger.
You could also declutter by creating hidden storage spaces. Optimizing shower space using bathroom organizers and niche shelving (in walls for toiletries and decorative items) is also highly recommended.
- Upgrade Bathroom Cabinetry
Like wall tiles and sinks, bathroom cabinetry offers that much-needed stylistic difference. To achieve a modern condo bathroom look, consider changing your cabinetry color and going for other new/different aspects like shape and style.
You’ll need a seasoned remodeling partner like Unit Modeler to find a variety of unique cabinetry that will upgrade your bathroom while achieving other goals such as making your limited space feel larger.
For instance, narrow bathroom cabinetry with simple/clean lines will prevent visual clutter, allowing the eyes to travel freely. The same applies to open shelving that reduces visual bulk and makes a room feel larger.
Other Small Condo Bathroom Design Ideas
- Innovative Plumbing and Biophilic Design
When it comes to small condo bathroom designs, it also matters where you put your shower enclosure and the faucets you use. A floor corner shower design will maximize space. Slim faucets are recommended for saving precious bathroom counter space.
A biophilic design, meaning one that introduces elements of nature, can appeal and transform your small condo bathroom into a functional oasis that feels bigger than it really is. Optimizing natural lighting can also create a sense of openness and spaciousness. You could also incorporate plants (especially vertically growing plants) to draw the eye upwards and make your bathroom feel taller.
Other biophilic design elements to explore include more use of natural materials like stone that bring the outdoors in and create a connection to a larger environment.
Final Thoughts
There are many “tricks” to consider when you want to transform your condo bathroom. If you want to splurge a bit you can go for timeless marble countertops, walls and/or floor space.
There are many other condo bathroom decor ideas to explore and most are best used together to achieve the best outcome. Most importantly, you need a seasoned condo bathroom renovation partner who specialises in transforming condos.
