This compact 5 ft. by 9 ft. space is the only bathroom in their client\u2019s Toronto home, and with the homeowners\u2019 expecting their first child, it was crucial that this loo did double duty. \u201cWe had to create a bathroom that would work for the entire family,\u201d says Alana. \u201cIt had to look beautiful but still be functional for life with a baby.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Scroll down to discover their small bathroom design tips for maximizing space without sacrificing style.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>1. Build shelving in unexpected places.<\/strong> \u201cAdding a large shelf in the shower provides a designated place to store products so they don\u2019t end up cluttered on the floor or inside the tub,\u201d says Alana. A small basket holds stray loofas, while a piece of framed artwork and a hanging planter adds a decorative touch.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>2. Create the illusion of more space.<\/strong> A large mirror across one wall breathes new life into the compact quarters. To create a natural sense of flow, the design duo opted for bright white tiles all over the bathroom. Plus, a low standing tub maximizes square footage (and makes it easy for the homeowners to bathe their new baby).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>3. Opt for a light color palette.<\/strong> Bright whites, cool-toned marble and brushed bronze give the bathroom a cohesive, yet sophisticated look. To keep the space from feeling too spare, Alana and Jordy added pops of personality in the decor, like this cheeky art print from Minted framed in a large mat for a more custom look.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>4. Make storage a priority.<\/strong> \u201cWe were thoughtful about the details,\u201d says Jordy. \u201cFor example, we chose drawers for the vanity instead of doors, because they allow for more storage, and are easier to keep organized.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/houseandhome.com\/rooms\/small-bathroom-design-tips\/\">4 Small Bathroom Design Tips for Maximizing Space<\/a> by Victoria Christie | House and Home<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For designers Alana Firestone and Jordy Fagan of Collective Studio, no design challenge is too big (or small).
