12 Small Ensuite Layouts, Designs & Ideas For Your Bathroom

Designing a functional yet stylish ensuite or bathroom when you have a limited area to work with can pose a range of challenges. These include freeing up floor space, building into awkward areas, allowing for storage, and lighting up windowless rooms. So if you’re building or ready to renovate, here are 12 small ensuite layouts that will help transform this much-used area of the home.

This is a classically-themed ensuite with a lovely neutral and “clean” palette base. However, pops of colour on the splash back and tiling and the timber accents on the textured glass windows keep it from looking too bland. And that vanity! Shaker-style cabinetry and a marble-look top add a luxurious edge. In terms of layout, there is ample space, although they’ve used it efficiently. This can be seen with the “shub” (shower/tub combination) and the fact that the toilet has been allocated elsewhere. Twin sinks also mean multiple occupants can be in the room at the same time, which is a great option for families at bath time!

Ok, so this ensuite design and colour palette won’t suit everyone, but it certainly exudes an oriental-style personality. Marbled accents, antiquities placed on the above-toilet and feature shelving, and the addition of the gold-edged mirror … pure decadence. Layout-wise, it has the luxury of space, but is still a clever design. The toilet is positioned discreetly and blends seamlessly into the dark tiling, and the shower an amply sized feature. The use of lighting in this windowless bathroom also enhances its size. Oh, and we can’t forget that golden, light-splashed basin. Hand-washing would be pure joy in this household.

This is a classic “three-in-a-row” ensuite layout – meaning the plumbing components (the shower, toilet and vanity) are all on the one wall, so construction costs would have been reduced. Design-wise, it is simple and efficient and an ideal layout for a single or small household or a guest bathroom. The colour palette is simple — black and white predominantly with warm accents in the shelving and brass-look tapware. The mosaic floor tiling, the walk-in shower with its feature screen and subway tiles, super-cute in-shower bench and splashes of greenery complete the personality of this bathroom as a sumptuous yet edgy oasis for pampering.

Some would refer to this layout as the “hotel special”, as space-wise, it is the type of ensuite you’d find in a smaller hotel. But it does have its advantages in terms of its three-in-a-row cost-saving plumbing design. It is also compact, functional and minimalist. Tap ware, the “beehive” tiled floor, sink and “floating” toilet all give it a contemporary twist as does the matte black tap ware. The timber-look cabinetry is also on-trend (very Scandy). Not a bathroom for a big household, but nonetheless, somewhere to enjoy a long, hot shower and an end-of-night teeth-brushing session.

OK, no shower or bath to be seen here. Probably because this property owner has another adjoining room that is just as stunning. Side-by-side, the toilet and basin are similar in design as is the mirror and slant-y ceiling feature. This room has clearly defined “zones”, which can make smaller spaces feel more generous. Thanks to the contrasting tiled splashback and wood wall panelling, the two areas feel very separate and create a sense of distance. The addition of crisp white towels and an organic-looking basket make it a “relieving” spot that is pure class.

The vertical layout of this “powder room” (a term referring to a smaller room without a shower or bath), creates clean lines and enhances the space, as does its white subway tiles. It’s a whimsical design full of personality from the sprightly floral wallpaper and polished timber flooring to the brass tap ware and Victorian-style exposed metal pipework under the vanity. And we love the open shelving with its menagerie of bottled delights. It’s a clever feature that proves this often purely functional room can also be used as a storage area (for almost anything!) as well.

Image from Elle Decor

Again, a cost-saving ensuite layout with side-by-side plumbing installed in the “shub” and vanity. And the choice of design elements is divine with an old-world charm — from the shiny, roughly-hewn subway tiles and retro-inspired fixtures to the brass Victorian-style tap ware and marble-look vanity and bath edges. The colour palette is warm and inviting — deep, chocolate browns and sumptuous metallics create a cosy haven for relaxation, but the layout is also thoughtfully designed to make the most of natural light that reflects beautifully off each gilt-edged surface.

Image from Love Renovate

This is another small space with a big, bold personality! Layout-wise, the pedestal tub and toilet are efficiently positioned to allow room for a double-drawer vanity and a contemporary counter-top basin. The design is modern-meets-art-deco with the geometrical wall tiles, star-inspired feature wall and honeycomb patterned tiling on the floor. The statement free-standing bath features openly displayed metallic pipe ware and ornately slippered feet, and verdant potted ferns add softness and an organic ambiance. And for those who love spending plenty of time tub-soaking, there is a convenient bathtub caddy for candles (and, dare we say, wine glass placement).

Image from Houzz

As far as guest ensuites go, this one is far from a “second thought” addition to the home. The layout is simple and efficient, and a shutter-free window bathes the room in soft, natural light. The substantial mirror enhances the room’s size with its reflective qualities, and visual interest is added with the soft grey geometric tiling, and metallic finishes on the mirror, towel rack, vanity handles and tap ware. But the star of this design show? The deep, dark blue finish on the vanity that adds vibrancy and creates a focal point for the entire room.

Image from Interior Design Ideas

Even the smallest of spaces can look elegant, modern and chic, and this displayed exceptionally well in this under-stair shower room. It’s cutting-edge design is a combination of shapes, textures and a neutral colour palette of white, matte black and variegated timber-look flooring that continues up the vanity wall to unite the space. The mirror, contemporary tap ware and freestanding vanity (no pipe ware to be seen here!) add an uber-modern twist, and oh, the shower. Big, bold and with an impressive rain head shower head, it exudes resort-style sophistication.

Image from Houzz

The owners of this simplistic yet stylish ensuite are clearly shower fans, and its size and features ensure an undoubtedly pleasurable cleansing experience. The clear glass shower screen and mottled grey/white tiling add to the sense of space, and the shower niche adds an up-to-the minute design twist. The rest of the room features all-white walls, understated cabinetry and an unobtrusive toilet, allowing the darker grey tiling on the shower floor to become an aesthetic focus. A stack of fluffy towels and a pop of stylish, natural greenery complete the look.

Image from Pinterest

Tiling has been used to great effect in this tiny, yet functional powder room. Subway tiles are a popular current choice for wet areas in a home and add a contemporary edge. However, it is the multitude of patterns on the muted grey floor tiling that give this room a unique twist. The free-standing toilet and splashes of matte black break up the neutral colour palette, as does the open timber shelving, which provides the perfect “support” for an edgy bench-mounted basin.

A bathroom in an apartment is usually small in size, and for independent planning, this is both a plus and a minus. On the one hand, there is no need to think through zoning and complex arrangement of furniture. On the other hand, there are not so many options for its placement, and sometimes it is not at all clear how to place everything you need on 3-4 squares. In this article, we tell you how to create a bathroom layout in any apartment, as well as share useful ideas and show photos of real interiors

All about planning solutions

Type of bathroom
— Combined
— Separate
House type
— Stalinka
— Khrushchev
— Brezhnevka
— New building
Planning advice
– Plumbing
— Furniture

There is still no consensus on which bathroom layout is better, combined or separate. Both options have their pros and cons. Another question - is it possible to change the type of room? For example, combine a bathroom and a toilet to create a more spacious and ergonomic space. In short, it is possible - except for two cases:

Remodeling can be simple (demolishing a wall) or complex (demolishing a wall and adding part of a hallway or storage room). Any of them, as well as the combination of two rooms into one, must be agreed upon.

Combined

A combined bathroom has a number of significant advantages:

There are also disadvantages:

Example 1

Instagram @modern_design_od

In a small square room, it is better to place furniture and plumbing along the walls. If the room has ledges (for example, a box with communications), niches and other architectural features, be guided by them.
For example, here we see a small ledge in the corner. It shortens the length of two adjacent walls, so a toilet bowl with a hygienic shower and a sink were placed along them. The wall to the left of the entrance was enough to put a rectangular bathtub and hang a compact heated towel rail.

Example 2

Instagram @efimova_designer_online

If you are planning a bathroom from 6 sq. m and more, here you can already start working with space. For example, in this spacious room there was a place for a bath, shower, toilet, sink, washing machine and several storage systems.
So that furniture and plumbing are not just randomly located along the wall, the area with a shower was separated from the rest of the space by a small partition. She also became a wall for the shower box. To avoid visual noise in the room, use built-in closed storage systems if the area allows.

Separate

Separate type is often found in old houses: Khrushchev, stalinka, panels.

The advantages are obvious:

Example 1

This planning solution is typical for standard Khrushchev houses and panels. With the proper arrangement of all elements, even on an area of ​​​​2.3 squares, there is a place for a full-fledged bath and washing machine.
So, here a bowl with a standard width of 70 cm was placed along the wall opposite the entrance. The length of this model is 140 cm, but there are also more compact options: for example, 130 and 120 cm.
To the right of the entrance, a sink with a capacious pedestal under it was placed, to the left - a utility closet with a washing machine and a dryer. If you do not need a dryer, you can make shelves for storing towels or household chemicals in its place.

Example 2

And here is an example of the design of the toilet and bathroom in stalinka. Here the room is square, with a small niche on the left. In general, the placement of elements is standard: a bowl along the wall opposite the entrance, on the right is a sink with a small storage system, on the left is a washing machine or utility closet.
A toilet is placed in the toilet, optionally a hygienic shower or several narrow shelves for storing toilet paper and small items.

Stalinka

Apartments in Stalinist buildings are associated with high ceilings, large windows and many rooms.

Depending on the series, there are plans with an adjacent and separate sanitary unit. A typical option in the second case is a bathroom of 3 square meters. m and toilet 1.7 sq. m. You can combine them, but only with the coordination of redevelopment.

On the right, a standard bowl or a homemade shower box fits perfectly - it will turn out to be quite spacious.

Example 2

Designer: Larisa Topova

In some stalinkas, utility rooms are quite large. For example, in this project, a separate bathroom and a bathroom were combined and received a common room of 8 square meters.
For space zoning, a partition was used that separates the toilet area. A bathtub and a shower room were placed opposite the entrance, and there was also a place for a large sink and storage system.

Khrushchevka

Spacious stalins were replaced by Khrushchevs - apartments with a modest area and inconvenient planning solutions by today's standards.

Instagram @katya_dorohina

Among the main problems are the small kitchen and bathroom. For example, in houses of series II-18-0108 and II-18-0109, the area of ​​adjacent bathrooms did not exceed 2.4 square meters. This is comparable to a bathroom in a small studio. The situation is slightly better in the 1605-AM series: a sanitary unit 3 squares and a toilet 1 square. If you combine them, you need to work with the layout of the bathroom 2 by 2.

On the side of the entrance there will be a small sink with a pedestal. If there is space left, organize a compact storage system: a rack, mini-cart or shelves.
In a 1-1.5 sq. m, as a rule, only the toilet and communications fit. You can add a couple of narrow shelves for additional storage.

Example 2

If you have a Khrushchev with a combined sanitary unit or you decide to combine it, see our bathroom layout ideas 4 sq. M.
Here, the layout of the elements was planned based on a square ledge in the corner. There was a rectangular bowl along the wall, and cabinets to the right of the entrance. If desired, you can put a narrow washer there - for example, with a vertical load.
On the left, a compact toilet bowl (37 cm wide) and a washbasin with cabinet (50 cm wide) were installed.

Brezhnevka

Houses of Brezhnev's development are popularly called "improvements" - it was believed that their layouts were more successful compared to Khrushchev houses.

In apartments, in addition to load-bearing walls, there are almost always additional internal partitions. The bathroom, as a rule, is separate (adjacent ones are found in odnushki). When repairing, it is important to consider the following points:

Example 1

Usually, non-residential premises in Brezhnevka houses are a little more spacious compared to Khrushchev houses, so it is not so difficult to place everything you need there. For example, here we see an option for planning a bathroom combined with a toilet in a kopeck piece.
To the left of the entrance, there was enough space for a spacious rectangular bath 80 by 180 cm. A sink and a toilet bowl with a storage system were placed on the other two sides. If you put a shower, a washing machine will fit here.

Example 2

Instagram @62_kv_m

This apartment is located in a house built in 1973. The owners got a tiny bathroom with an area of ​​​​only 2.1 square meters. m and toilet 1.1 sq. m. In order not to complicate and not delay the repair, they decided not to combine. The essentials were placed on a small footage: a toilet in one, a bath with a sink in the other.
The design of the houses in this series allows you to coordinate the demolition of the adjacent wall. In this case, 3.2 squares will be available. The toilet can be moved and thus make room for a small washing machine or utility closet.

Modern homes come in a variety of layouts, from tiny bathrooms in studios to spacious bathrooms. In three-, four- and five-room apartments, two bathrooms are most often provided - both can be combined even with a large number of residents.

An area of ​​4.5 squares, as in this example, allows you to comfortably place everything you need in a typical apartment. Here we see the layout of the combined bathroom: a bowl was installed opposite the entrance, a long installation, a hanging toilet bowl and a large sink were installed on the side.
In this project, there is almost no space between the door and the wall on the left, so it will not work to place a sink or washing machine there. In such cases, you can use the space for a shallow rack, shelves or heated towel rail.

Example 2

Instagram @trofimchuk175

Another example of a planning solution for a standard 4-square room. The location of the plumbing was calculated from the toilet area. As a result, there was enough space for a rectangular bowl, a toilet bowl, a sink, cabinets and a washing machine.
As the author of the project writes in his blog, initially the washing machine was supposed to be under the sink, and in its place - a utility locker, but the full-size model did not fit under the countertop. As a result, it was moved to the toilet, and all the necessary storage was organized under the sink.

In a spacious room, you can easily find a place for everything you need, but in typical apartments, the footage is usually limited. Therefore, consider the important nuances of planning a small bathroom.

Plumbing

To avoid blockages, the toilet should be located as close to the riser as possible, so plan its location first. It is also important to decide whether you want a shower or a sitz bath.
