Do you have a small bathroom that you think is too small for any pattern or personality? You aren’t alone. It’s a common thought that small rooms just don’t have the space to handle pattern or design. This room is an example of how you can not only use a pattern in the room, but add some style elements to give it some life and personality.

In this bathroom, not only has the tile been turned on the diagonal, but mosaic dots have been placed in the intersections of the tile for added contrast. The dots in the floor do a great job of complimenting the color of the countertop. In this small room, granite, porcelain and slate have all been used to turn this small bathroom into a charming area!

It’s always a good idea to scale out a room when you are trying to add pattern to a small area, but a general rule of thumb is to make sure that you have enough room to fit at least 2 full tiles across the room.

Don’t be shy! Larger tiles can actually help make rooms look larger than small tiles. When there are less lines for your eyes to break up the room will appear less chopped up.

Small rooms can also handle dark colors without feeling too small, but we’ll save that conversation for another day.

The moral of the story? Just because your room is small, that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t deserve some pattern and character! Visit the virtual room designer on our website and try on different floors to see what you can come up with!
