The Main Principles of Minimalism
Like other design trends, minimalism has its own characteristic features:
- Laconicism is welcomed in the design of the bathroom. There are no unnecessary items, which frees up useful space, which is especially important for small rooms.
- Carefully thought-out layout and ergonomics of space. In order to accommodate all the necessary elements in minimalism, each zone is worked out separately.
- Extremely simple forms and geometry are traced.
- The bathroom is furnished with lightweight furniture structures, equipped with suspended plumbing and installations.

Bathroom color
A universal basis for the design of a bathroom in a minimalist style is a white palette and its variations. These colors create a feeling of purity, visually increase the space and make it lighter. Thus, a small room seems spacious and light.
Gray, sand, beige tones or pastel blue and brown shades are perfect. In this case, dark purple, red and other colors that contrast with the main color scheme can act as accents.

The interior of the bathroom in the style of minimalism is not bright, but at the same time it is not devoid of contrast. On a white background, black color will help to highlight certain areas or objects. For a softer design, you can use gray.
Features of finishing
Mostly, natural finishing materials with uniform surfaces are chosen for a minimalist bathroom interior. Reliefs and attractive patterns are not quite appropriate here.
For flooring, preference is given to classic tiles, acrylic or natural stone in neutral gray or black tones. Tile covering with a checkerboard pattern or mosaic will look great. In a small bathroom in a minimalist style, diagonal tiling will be an interesting move.
The walls in the bathroom can be pasted over with moisture-resistant wallpaper, covered with paint, decorated with decorative panels or plaster with a weak texture. Wall surfaces laid out with smooth single-color ceramics in smoky, milky, anthracite or ocher colors look ideal. Marble combined with wood will give the bathroom a noble and self-sufficient look.

When choosing a ceiling finish, it is better to pay attention to the most laconic option in the form of a tension structure with a glossy or matte texture. A flat ceiling plane without unnecessary decorative elements will harmoniously fit into a minimalist design, and in the case of a glossy PVC film, it will also visually expand the bathroom.
What furniture is suitable?
Add accent, but at the same time calm and not too eye-catching details, can be achieved with the help of light wooden furniture. Due to its texture, wood perfectly complements a bathroom in a minimalist style. It is appropriate to furnish the bathroom with closed storage systems with facades that merge with the surrounding decoration, seamless cabinets and wall cabinets with mirrored doors.

If there are niches in the bathroom, furniture items are hidden and disguised in the recesses. Glass or suspended structures hovering in the air help to fill the space with a sense of freedom and erase spatial boundaries.
Selection of plumbing
A rectangular bathtub with a clearly defined geometry, as well as a model with smooth rounded corners. The bathtub does not necessarily have to have a glossy texture. A stone sanitary device with a velvety matte finish will add noble touches to the interior.
A small-sized bathroom can be appropriately complemented with a compact shower cabin, in the manufacture of which transparent glass and a neat metal edging are used.
The bathroom can be equipped with a functional and convenient shower system built into the ceiling plane. Such a design takes up a minimum of space and does not disturb the airy appearance of the room. A modern trend in the interior of a bathroom in the style of minimalism is a cascade shower built into the wall.

For the bathroom, it is best to install an unusual-looking suspended toilet and sink. This will visually make the room more spacious, and cleaning will be as simple as possible.
Choose laconic mixers and taps with a simplified design. To achieve a unified style, it is advisable to give preference to models from the same collection series.
Decor, accessories and lighting
A room in a minimalist style should have moderate lighting. It is suitable to install ceiling spotlights in combination with additional local lighting above the mirror.
Lighting fixtures of a spherical or cubic shape will perfectly diffuse the light flux.
Light materials such as matte or translucent glass, plastic or even specially treated paper are used in the manufacture of lampshades. To create the feeling of light coming from the inside, the fixtures are installed in niches and covered with panels.

You should not clutter the bathroom with unnecessary accessories and a lot of textiles. It is enough to decorate the interior with a couple of geometric flowerpots with green plants, to liven up the atmosphere with a bright rug or an unusual curtain.
Here, the decor performs not only aesthetic, but also practical functions. For example, the bathroom is decorated with towels, stylish stands and cups for toothbrushes, soap dispensers and other useful little things.

Strict functionality and absence of the slightest inconvenience are also welcomed in the design of the bathroom. The room is equipped with modern high-tech items in the renovation of a bathroom combined with a toilet in the style of minimalism, mirror surfaces are used that can simulate spatial volume and weightless glass that transmits light.

For a more spacious combined room, the main idea can be eco-minimalism, which excludes the use of metal, or minimalism with elements of classics, loft, high-tech and other styles. Such inclusions against a laconic and geometric background will favorably emphasize the elegance of the interior.

Minimalist style toilet design
This style is perfect for decorating a small separate bathroom. Due to a certain asceticism, the absence of non-functional and unnecessary objects, the space really increases, and freedom of movement is preserved.

The toilet room is furnished with extremely simple or built-in furniture with glossy plastic or varnished wooden fronts. Install a wall-hung toilet, sink and bidet. Thanks to this installation method, it is possible to hide all the utilities.
