Small Bathroom, Big Impact – Design Tips for Mosman Units
Living in a Mosman apartment or Neutral Bay semi? You can still have a beautiful bathroom — even with limited space. Small bathrooms need more thoughtful planning. Here's how to make the most of every square metre.
Best Design Features for Small Bathrooms
Modern bathrooms are characterised by clean lines and a smart use of space. These features are perfect for units, townhouses, and tight layouts on the Lower North Shore:
- Wall-mounted vanities & toilets
- Frameless glass shower screens
- Large-format tiles for seamless lines
- LED backlit mirrors for spaciousness
- Recessed shelving for storage
Avoid This Common Layout Mistake
Avoid installing a bathtub or double vanity unless sufficient space is available.
Bright layout > stuffing too much.
Want a tub in a tight space?
We suggest a back-to-wall freestanding bath — a stylish and space-efficient option.
Colour Schemes That Make a Room Feel Bigger
Stick to Light Neutrals
Whites, greys, and beige tones bounce light and create the illusion of more space.
Use the Same Tile on Walls & Floor
Using the same tile style across surfaces helps avoid visual breaks and creates a more open room.
Internal Storage Tricks That Work
Go Vertical
Use full-height cabinets, vertical towel rails, and wall niches.
Floating Vanity with Drawers
It creates the illusion of more floor space while still accommodating storage within.
Bonus Tip – Natural Light Wins Every Time
Skylights, translucent windows, or even internal windows to an adjoining room can dramatically brighten a space and make it feel larger.
