1. Planning is Crucial
Consider the layout carefully. If possible, optimize for a tiny bathroom with separate areas instead of a micro-bath, which is an all-in-one wet room.
2. Pick the Right Fixtures
Opt for space-saving fixtures like small toilets, narrow sinks, and specialized shower pans.

3. Lighting Matters
Utilize natural light from windows and incorporate back-lit mirrors, recessed lighting, and under-cabinet lighting.

4. Strategic Finishes
Create a visually expansive space by using either light or dark colors for walls and ceilings, with contrasting flooring. Avoid busy patterns and excessive grout.
5. Color with Intention
Use color as an accent on a single wall or fixture to add personality without overwhelming the small space.
6. Storage is Key
Think creatively! Utilize vertical space with cabinets above head height, built-in shelves, or niches.
