Small Bathroom Ideas -

When I say our primary bathroom is small — it is small!!

By today’s standard, a small primary bath is a crime, but we’re not letting the size discourage us. We are going to make it beautiful and functional and we are so excited!!

We want our bathroom to have a lux feel, like a hotel or spa bathroom. Since the room is small, we are keeping it light and bright. Many times when you have a small space, if you are a little darker on the floor and go lighter on top – it brings the eye upward and helps to make the space feel bigger.

When deciding on the finishes for the house in general, I knew I wanted to keep it timeless & classic, yet modern. What is more timeless than marble?! Nothing. Marble has been around forever and it gives a lux vibe so marble is what I chose for the shower and the floor.

And because our bathroom is so small, we are able to spend a little bit more on the tile! So having a small bathroom doesn’t seem so bad after all lol.

I chose marble from The Builder Depot! The quality is fantastic and they ship fast! I ordered samples first and I highly recommend always ordering samples. I originally thought I was going to love the Venato Carrara, but it didn’t have enough gray veining for our liking so I then ordered Bianco Carrara and that hit it out of the park! Don’t get me wrong, Venato is beautiful and is pretty sparkly, we just wanted a bit more gray.

For the shower we decided on a polished finish and for the floor we decided on honed. Honed is a more matte finish to help with being less slippery.

At first I was leaning towards a hexagon shape for the shower walls (hence the hexagon samples), but now we are going with a 4″ x 12″ rectangle in Carrara Bianco. The floor tiles will be this beautiful black and white 6″ hexagon Carrara Bianco tile. Having black on the floors will make the floors a little darker and pairing that with the white tiles in the shower, will keep it lighter and move the eye up and it will make the space feel larger.
