Minimalist Bathroom Tour: Simplifying to Make Life Easier

As I said in my playroom tour post, I love seeing inside other people’s homes. Not just what you can see as a guest on the surface. But a really deep look at how their home is organized and functions. I especially love checking out people’s homes who are pursuing a minimalist, simplified lifestyle. I find it so inspiring, encouraging and interesting to see inside their homes. In keeping with that, today I’m giving you another peek inside our home with a minimalist bathroom tour.

Your bathroom is a great place to start decluttering

If you’re ready to start decluttering and simplifying your home and your life, the bathroom is a great place to start . Not only are bathrooms usually smaller rooms compared to other spaces in our homes. But we also don’t usually keep our most important or sentimental items in the bathroom. It’s usually just towels, makeup and half-empty lotion bottles.

You can usually tackle decluttering your bathroom in a shorter amount of time, letting you see results right away . Not only will seeing immediate results give you the motivation to continue decluttering. But it will also help you overcome the mental hurdle of getting started. It shows you that you can declutter and it will make a difference in your life.

Why does simplifying the bathroom matter?

Most of us start and end our days in the bathroom. And when the bathroom is a messy, cluttered, overwhelming space, it doesn’t really give you a great vibe to start or end your day.

But now imagine a decluttered, simplified, minimalist bathroom. A place where you can easily get ready for the day and get ready for bed. A place that’s tidy, uncluttered and easy to keep tidy because the cupboards and drawers hold what you use, need and love, and nothing more. You can easily find and use what you need. There is space – room to breathe. You don’t waste time every day digging through products to find your favourites. Instead, you only keep your favourite things!

Not only does a clutter-free bathroom make it easier to get ready for the day or for bed, but it also makes keeping your bathroom clean easy. When you counter is covered in a bunch of different products and items, it’s a big job to clear it all off just so you can wipe down the counters and sink.

But when you have a minimalist bathroom, your counters can be clutter-free and everything has a place. Cleaning your bathroom and keeping it clean, becomes so much easier.

And although most of us like using a clean bathroom, I don’t know many people who actually enjoy cleaning the bathroom. So, anything we can do to make that chore easier is a win in my book!

Organization in a minimalist bathroom

I’ve written about how organizing will never solve the clutter problems in your home. But the bathroom is a great example of how organizing after you’ve thoroughly decluttered, can be very helpful.

Our bathrooms are full of lots of little items and products. It’s easy for these products to get lost or messy when they are floating around the bathroom cupboards and drawers. Once you have thoroughly decluttered , and only kept the things you use often and need, some organization can go a long way to help maintain a simplified, minimalist bathroom.

A tour of our minimalist bathrooms

Here is a tour of our minimalist bathrooms. Showing you what minimalism looks like put into practice in real life for our family. These photos aren’t staged – this is how our bathrooms look on a daily basis. And while they may not be magazine worthy, they function well for our family and are easy to maintain.

I’m also sharing some of the ways I keep our bathrooms organized to maintain a simplified, minimalist bathroom.

Master bathroom

Our master bathroom is small, but keeping it simplified and minimalist keeps it functional for us. We have a small vanity with one cupboard underneath. As well as a small cabinet over the toilet. Simplifying and decluttering our personal care items ensures our bathroom doesn’t feel cluttered, messy or crowded. We keep the countertop mostly clear, except for hand soap, our toothbrushes and my husband’s razor.

Some simple organizational tools in the vanity cupboard, along with only keeping the items we use regularly, let this small space work well for us. On one cabinet door, a wire basket holds my hair dryer. On the other cabinet door, two shallow wire baskets hold our daily essentials like toothpaste, dental floss, combs, etc.

Inside the vanity cabinet, we keep our second set of towels. We keep two towels per person and two hand towels per bathroom. One set is hanging up in use and the other in the cabinet. The plastic drawer unit holds our extra products like soap, deodorant, toothbrush heads, etc.

Aside from that, the cabinet holds extra toilet paper, extra feminine products, my hair products, mouthwash and lotion. We are careful to only buy what we need and avoid keeping products we don’t use often or like.

In the cabinet above the toilet, I keep my toiletries and personal care items . The two woven baskets on the bottom shelf hold my makeup. The basket on the right holds my everyday makeup. And the basket on the left holds makeup products I don’t use every day and my special occasion makeup. The baskets make it easy to grab my makeup and bring it to the vanity to get ready for the day.

The baskets on the top shelf hold feminine products on the left, a few face clothes, skin toner and a face mask in the middle and flushable wipes for the kids on the right.

The wooden bowl on the bottom was a gift from my parents when they visited England. It holds a cotton pad scented with essential oils to keep things smelling fresh!

Main bathroom/kids’ bathroom

Our main bathroom is the one the kids use. I’ve found the simpler we keep it the better. Not only do the kids not need much in the bathroom, but less stuff also makes it super easy to keep it clean and tidy.

We keep the countertop clear, except for handsoap and the kids’ toothbrushes. I love how easy it is to give the counter and sink a quick wipe without having anything in the way.

The kids have a small basket (with holes in the bottom for drainage) of toys that we keep in the tub. They also have a bottle of shampoo/body wash and conditioner behind the shower curtain. Their towels hang on hooks behind the door. Hooks make it so much easier for them to be responsible for hanging up their towels…most of the time!

On the back of the door, we have a picture reminder of what the kids need to do to get ready in the morning. The flaps are magnetic, so when they finish each job, they close the flap. This helps remind them what needs to get done on busy school mornings.

The first vanity drawer hold the kid’s hair brushes, combs, nail clippers and tangle spray. The white container holds band-aids. It’s amazing how much a band-aid can fix, so the kids help themselves whenever they need one! 😉

The other drawer holds toothpaste and dental flossers. I repurposed an old baby wipes container to keep them corralled and organized.

In the vanity cupboards, we have my daughter’s extra towel and face clothes on one side. And my son’s extra towel, the extra hand towel, extra toilet paper and flushable wipes on the other side.

The middle cupboard holds a few extra bath toys in the pink basket, cleaning wipes, mouthwash, our scale and any extra products for the kids. The garbage can sits on top of the scale, but I took it out for the picture to let you see inside better.

Guest Bathroom

We keep our guest bathroom simple but comfortable for guests to use. The shelf over the toilet is empty so there is a place for guests to put their toiletries bag or other belongings.

In the small cabinet by the shower, we keep extra towels, hand towels, face cloths and a few spare toothbrushes. We keep 3 sets of guest towels because we occasionally host 6 people at a time, so we like to have one towel per guest available.

Under the sink, we have extra toilet paper, the garbage and a toilet brush. That’s really all we need in the guest bathroom!

Our minimalist bathroom tour

Simplifying the bathrooms and only keeping the things we use often makes life so much easier . Having a tidy and functional bathroom helps reduce some of the chaos in the morning rush, makes it easier to keep the bathroom clean and tidy, and lets us end our days in a calm, clutter-free space.

If you have any questions about our minimalist bathrooms, or how we keep them organized and functional, leave a comment and I’d be happy to answer.

In the last photo (not of your bathrooms) there is a large hamper. Do you keep your hampers in your bedrooms? I saw this hamper on Amazon the other day. Or do you just use laundry baskets for dirty clothes? Thanks for sharing your systems for the bathroom. I am realizing I need to reduce the number of items I keep for grooming and makeup. Thanks for the inspiration ?!

Simple Lionheart Life

Monday 23rd of July 2018

I'm glad you found this post helpful, Elizabeth! This is our system for clothes hampers: My husband and I have 2 in our bedroom closet. One for dark colored clothes and one for light colored clothes. Having them pre-sorted makes it easy to toss a load of laundry in when the hamper starts to get full. For my kids, I have one hamper in the bottom of the linen closet. The closet is right between their bedrooms and the bathroom they use, so it's easy for them to throw their clothes in on the way to the bathroom for their bath at night or to brush their teeth in the morning. I don't sort my kids' clothes by color, so I just wash everything at once usually every second day. I hope that helps! Thanks for reading and let me know if you have any other questions!

I love the simple elegance of what everything looks like after you declutter. It is so serene and beautiful.

Sunday 15th of July 2018

Thanks, Deborah! I love a clutter-free space too. I feel so much calmer and happier in a clutter-free space. Thanks for reading :)

Great detail, and wonderful ideas! So true about ending and starting our days in the bathroom—I never quite saw it like that.

Thanks, Diane! Yes, the bathroom is a place we usually start and end our days, and it's lovely to have it be a calm space as opposed to somewhere that stresses us out! Thanks for reading and I'm glad you enjoyed the post :)

I always enjoy your posts and always love how much detail you give. Your posts also encourages me to keep going in the decluttering process. I am getting there . My/guest bath room is decluttered enough that I too, like Brooke, have gotten to the point of not liking things on my counter other than the bare neccesities. So some progress thanks to your posts. Glad you had a great mini vacation and mini couple getaway.

Thank you, Karen! I'm so happy to hear you are continuing to enjoy my posts and that they have been helping you continue with your decluttering. That's fantastic! I'm so happy to hear you are enjoying your decluttered bathroom as well. Thanks again for all your support and have a great week!

I recently read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo and since then my husband and I have wanted the clutter gone! We have a long way to go and it is going to be a process but we both love seeing these minimal house tours and reading about it - it helps remind us the the effort is worth it!

That's awesome! Good for you guys! It's definitely a process and takes lots of time and effort. But you're right the results are definitely worth it! I love seeing how other people living minimally too - it really is inspiring! Plus I just enjoy getting to peek inside other people's houses too ;) Thanks for reading and good luck with your decluttering!

35 Minimalist Bathroom Ideas to Simplify Your Life

Clean lines, clutter-free counters, and smart storage, oh my!

The Spruce / Christopher Lee Foto

A minimalist bathroom feels clean, fresh, and sleek. From modern to Scandinavian and boho, a minimalist style bathroom can be adapted to express your favorite design styles. It can be bold or understated. Simple tile, clean-lined fixtures, warm textures, and minimal decor are a few of the main tenets you'll see throughout minimalist bathrooms.

Check out these minimalist bathroom ideas for inspiration on how to create a streamlined space that works for your lifestyle and appeals to your sense of style.

Chic Minimalist Bathroom

Design by Cathie Hong Interiors / Margaret Austin Photo

According to Kathy Kuo, Interior Designer and CEO of Kathy Kuo Home , one of the quickest ways to elevate your bathroom while keeping it minimal is to upgrade focal points—like plumbing or lighting.

“These details are easy to update and make all the difference in completing and elevating any room. To incorporate a subtle flair, I love to work in mixed metals and mirrored finishes," she says.

Modern Bathroom Lighting

Erin Williamson Design

Because bathrooms are often filled with mirrors, it is important to choose the right lighting to maintain a sophisticated and serene look.

“A simple statement pendant light with delicate sconces by the vanity are perfect choices from both a design and functionality perspective,” Kuo explains.

Pared-Down Vanity

Andra DelMonico, a lead interior designer at Trendey, suggests creating a minimalist look with a pure white squared-off sink. The straight lines and sharp 90-degree corners will give your bathroom a modern yet simplistic feel. “

For smaller bathrooms, a compact square sink will work best so that it doesn’t eliminate too much counter space,” DelMonico says. “Larger bathrooms can look great with a rectangular sink, giving you more sink space.”

Open Bathroom Design

Chelius House of Design

Eliminate clutter by removing shower curtains and using glass enclosures. For the most minimal shower, DelMonico suggests opting for a wet room where there’s no enclosure around the shower at all.

However, this can be too cold for some people and can be addressed by installing a frameless glass panel, which DelMonico says will trap the water and heat without blocking light and flow.

Organic Minimalist Bathroom

If Walls Could Talk

Sometimes minimalism can feel cold and sparse. Bring warmth and a spa-like feel to your organic modern bathroom by incorporating natural elements like wood.

“Choose a wood that’s beautiful and durable enough for the bathroom,” DelMonico says. “Teak, bamboo, or hardwoods are all smart options. You could use the wood to create a simple plank shower floor, a floating vanity, cabinets, accent wall, or flooring for the entire bathroom.”

Clutter-Clearing Minimalist Medicine Cabinet

Rumor Designs

Medicine cabinets are an obvious choice to help create a minimalist bathroom. “If you're just looking to declutter , you can simply replace an existing mirror with a wall-mounted medicine cabinet,” Katie Burnet, an interior designer at Rumor Designs, says.

Hotel-inspired Minimalist Bathroom

Design by Cathie Hong Interiors / Christy Q. Photography

Going minimal is typically very good for the budget—which allows for a little extra room for luxurious accessories that will help give your bathroom edge without cluttering the space too much. Look to apothecary-style bottles to give that luxurious, hotel-inspired finish to your counter tops.

Sleek Metallic Details

Jennifer Burt, Mississippi home staging expert at Mississippi Maximalism, loves using some design inspiration from the 80s when it comes to tackling minimalist bathrooms.

“Set the tone with a simple gold chrome mirror in an oval or interesting organic shape," she says. "For the rest of the bathroom, keep texture to a minimum. Colored tile is an option to add interest.”

Fluffy White Minimalist Towels

Calimia Home

Kirsten Fisher, founder and CEO of Imagine Home Organization, suggests taking the time to assess your towel situation. Any old or ratty towels will make your bathroom look sad—particularly if you’re leaning toward a minimal theme.

Consider investing in a new set of fluffy white “hotel towels” or stick to all one color for a uniform, tidy look.

Easy-to-Clean Minimalist Surfaces

Violet Marsh

Think about choosing durable finishes to ensure that you can keep your minimalist bathroom looking spick and span. According to Atlanta-based interior designer Beth Halpern Brown, this includes quartzite, quartz, stone, and ceramic tiles rather than marble—which requires serious upkeep.

Spa-Like Wood Seating

Jonathon Stebbe / Unsplash

A smart-looking wooden stool will not only add an aesthetically pleasing element to your open shower but also come as a pretty decent consolation prize if you're working with a bathroom that doesn't have a tub.

Consider opting for white oak or teak, which will be able to withstand humidity and water.

Green Minimalism

Whether you've gone ultra minimal in terms of accessories and visual interest or you're sticking to a neutral colorway , adding a couple of bathroom-friendly plants will help to break up the monochromatic aesthetic while also purifying the air in the process. A snake plant is a smart option if you're working with minimal light; otherwise consider opting for a fern or a spider plant.

Black and White Minimalist Bathroom

Design by Cathie Hong Interiors / Photo by Margaret Austin Photo

Stick to a limited palette and a handful of materials to create a minimalist feel in your bathroom. Large windows and glass doors to the walk-in double shower and bath area keep this minimalist bathroom from Cathie Hong Interiors focused on the view and the light.

Dark Minimalist Palette

Captivating Lighting

In this minimalist bathroom from Tidal Interiors , LED backlighting adds a glamorous touch to a sleek built-in wall-to-wall shower niche . The ambient light creates a soothing glow for nighttime showers and adds another layer of lighting in a space lacking in natural light.

Moody Minimalist Tile

This moody minimalist bathroom was designed by Laura Brophy Interiors includes dark gray textured wall and floor tiles with a nearly invisible shower, silver-toned plumbing fixtures, and a large soaking tub and small wooden stool for a zen spa look.

Geometric Minimalist Tile

Michelle Berwick Design

One way to add interest to a minimalist space is to make a point to incorporate a range of shapes that will make a spare space feel more dynamic. Michelle Berwick Design outfitted this minimalist bathroom with a mix of black, white, and wood finishes. Small hexagonal tiles on the wall and floor, a wood vanity with clean lines, and a round mirror and sink add some geometry to the mix.

Intentional Greenery

The smallest gesture makes a big impact in a minimalist space. Laura Brophy Interiors added a vase of greenery to the shower bench in this minimalist bathroom that lifts the gray, white, and black tones and echoes the leafy view from the window.

Sophisticated Focal Point

Resist the urge to fill every inch of space if you're going for a minimalist look. Michelle Berwick Design focused on a hero piece—a garden tub floating in front of a large window—and kept the rest of the room simple.

Textural Minimalism

Mindy Gayer Design Co.

Mindy Gayer Design Co. created a minimalist monochromatic bathroom that mixes shades and textures of white, from the square shower tiles to the marble-effect quartz bathtub surround to the shower curtain and towels.

Monochrome Gray Tile

Maximal Views in a Minimalist Bathroom

A minimalist design allows you to focus on natural light and views. This spacious minimalist en suite primary bathroom from Laura Brophy Interiors has clean lines and a cased opening to the bedroom that maximizes sightlines to the ocean views beyond while allowing natural light to flow through the spaces.

Warm Wood Cabinets

Desiree Burns Interiors

Minimalist doesn't have to mean stark or cutting edge. This spacious bathroom from Desiree Burns Interiors has a warm and traditional feel but uses minimal elements to create a minimalist, spa-like feel, with double wood vanities, gold accents, and a window seat beneath the large arched picture window to the outdoors.

Minimalist Wet Room

To fit a comfortable walk-in shower and a soaking tub into a relatively compact space, The Home Consultant used a minimalist all-white palette, silver-toned plumbing fixtures, and a space-saving wet room layout.

Art Gallery Photos

A minimalist bathroom can still incorporate art and decor without looking cluttered or overdone. A framed black-and-white photograph looks right at home in this spacious minimalist bathroom from Laura Brophy Interiors and helps it from feeling too austere.

Balinese Inspiration

The Home Consultant created a minimalist Balinese-inspired guest bathroom with plenty of warmth using a custom white oak vanity, wood-frame mirrors, woven pendants, and honed travertine flooring that is carried up onto the back wall of the double shower and is balanced with wood-effect tile on the floors and side shower walls.

Minimalist Japandi Style

Cathie Hong Interiors remodeled a midcentury model Eichler home in Willow Glen, California, infusing it with Japandi elements for a minimalist feel. Stealing some space from the primary bedroom allowed for the creation of an en suite bathroom with a curb-free wet room complete with a soaking tub and Japanese tiles.

To start, clear any unnecessary clutter or find spaces where it can be hidden out of sight. Consider installing a medicine cabinet or a vanity with storage. Incorporate sleek, warm textures and calming colors. Keep your countertop clear of everything except the necessities. Embrace a spa-like approach.

A zen bathroom incorporates serene colors, clean lines, and minimal decor. Counters are clear, bathroom products are beautifully decanted, and some added greenery for a lively look.

Typically, the smallest a bathroom can be while still being functional is 15 square feet.

18 of the most Alluring Minimalist Bathroom Design Ideas

It’s not always true that less is more, but when it applies to restrooms, fewer decorative items and a more streamlined aesthetic are usually preferable.

Look at these minimalist bathroom design ideas to get some ideas for creating a functional and visually appealing bathroom area.

3) Unfold The Shower

Remove visual clutter by ditching the shower curtain in favor of a glass cubicle. Most designers agree that a wet room, in which the shower has no barriers, is the bare minimum in terms of bathroom space. Some people may find this too chilly, but a borderless glass screen can seal in the water’s heat while still allowing light and air to pass through.

4) Include Luxurious Accessories

Minimalism is great for the bank account, leaving a little breathing room for the opulent touches that will give your bathroom that add something special without breaking your budget. Liqueur vessels are just the thing to give your bathroom counters that five-star hotel look and feel.

5) High-Quality Cabinetry

Sleek and outstanding Cabinetry can liven up even the most minimal of bathrooms. In this modern bathroom, the clean white walls and grey tones are balanced out by the meticulous Cabinetry and warm wood tones.

A few carefully selected antiques give this otherwise sleek and contemporary bathroom an intriguing and original aesthetic.

Add something unexpected if you want to give your bathroom a quick facelift. This incredible sink will leave you speechless with its ingenuity and awe. Additionally, the wall-mounted tap added a touch of originality and shabby charm to the otherwise sterile and spare bathroom.

The key is to use a mostly muted color scheme and simple design to showcase a few standout bohemian accents. For instance, the minimalist boho bathroom shown here is given some unique character using a gold color scheme.

12) Alluring Zen

This minimalistic, nature-inspired design is both exquisite and lavish. The pebbled floor, roof vents, stone highlights, stone-carved tub, and bonsai tree all contribute to the garden-like atmosphere of this space. There has never been a more convenient time to contact wildlife.

Mood lighting can give your bathroom a sense of drama and help define space. The room’s characteristics, boundaries, and potential for drama can all be enhanced by carefully placed lighting. Bathrooms that are cluttered with brass fixtures and bright lights are a big style and mood buster.

15) Marble and Glass

Elegant and timeless, simple and understated. When working with the finest materials, minimal embellishment is required. This bathroom’s polished marble floors and walls are complemented by a glass window providing a view of the garden’s natural beauty. Lighting and other fixtures are kept understated so as not to detract from the exquisite atmosphere.

16) A Tropical Sanctuary

Add some natural elements to your minimalist bathroom. An unrestrained ruffle would liven up the otherwise neat and orderly rooms. Adding a shelf for tropical plants is a pleasant departure from the smooth, uniform walls. The rain shower head adds to the cozy, spooky, tropical forest atmosphere.

17) Implement Japanese Style

Adding Japan-inspired touches to your bathroom will give it a stylish, understated look. If you are willing to give up some square footage in the main bedroom, you can install a heavenly bathroom complete with a soaking tub, Japanese tiles, and no curbs.

12 Chic Minimalist Bathroom Ideas for a Clean, Updated Look

A minimalist bathroom incorporates sleek design with simple color and pattern. This combination evokes a calm vibe, great for rushed mornings.

Jessica Bennett is an editor, writer, and former digital assistant home editor at BHG.

Minimalist style is ideally suited for bathrooms , where crisp, functional designs are key. This streamlined aesthetic combines sleek lines, pared-down decor, and simple color schemes. Our favorite minimalist bathroom ideas showcase style that maximizes both beauty and efficiency.

Minimalist Bathroom Design

Minimalist bathrooms achieve a simple, serene aesthetic with clean lines and little clutter. Hidden storage helps keep surfaces tidy, and functional items like towels and soaps often serve as the only decor. Minimalist bathroom designs are typically highly organized and efficient , which can help streamline your daily routine.

Minimalist Bathroom Shelving

Embrace wall-mounted fixtures with slim shapes to achieve a minimalist bathroom. In place of a bulky vanity, this sculptural sink provides an efficient washing station that contrasts with the bathroom's dark gray tiled walls. A narrow shelf and towel rack that supply storage and display space are mounted on the adjacent wall.

Modern Minimalist Bathroom

Sleek design elements are always a good choice in minimalist bathrooms. Drawing inspiration from nature, this contemporary-style bathroom features a floating wood vanity and an accent wall covered in stacked green tiles. Slate floor tiles stretch into the frameless glass shower from the vanity area, creating a seamless transition.

Small Minimalist Bathroom

Minimalist designs are ideal for small bathrooms . With sleek fixtures and pared-down decor, the style helps create a more open, spacious look. Choose bright white paint colors and reflective finishes such as polished nickel or chrome to enhance the illusion of a larger space.

Nature-Inspired Minimalist Bathroom

Nature-inspired elements can enhance the peaceful atmosphere of a minimalist bathroom. Here, large-format limestone tiles add subtle texture to the floors, walls, and floating vanity. The beige wall color echoes the stone's calming sandy tones, and a simple vase of calla lilies adds a small but impactful dose of greenery.

Minimalist Bathroom Color Schemes

Minimalistic bathrooms typically feature subdued color schemes that rely heavily on neutrals. Monochromatic designs work beautifully in these hardworking spaces, but color combinations with a bit more contrast also look at home. In this space, a simple black-and-white palette adds crisp definition and a contemporary feel.

Minimalist Boho Bathroom

Boho style is typically associated with layers of pattern and texture, but it's possible to blend this look into a minimalist design. The trick is incorporating a few bohemian-inspired pieces against a backdrop of neutral colors and clean lines. For example, a gold light fixture and rattan stool in this boho bathroom introduce eclectic personality to the simple design.

Minimalist Bathroom Layout

Choose a bathroom layout that minimizes visual clutter to achieve a sleek look. A separate toilet room can streamline the design while offering additional privacy. Consider a door with a frosted glass panel to bring light into the closed compartment.

Minimalist Bathroom Materials

Juxtapose various materials and finishes to create contrast in a minimalist bathroom. Here, a richly stained wood vanity stands out against a soothing backdrop of beige walls and travertine flooring. Sky-blue glass tiles add depth and shine to the backsplash.

Minimalist Bathroom Shower

An elegant walk-in shower serves as the focal point in this minimalist bathroom. Narrow, sand-colored glass tiles line the walls with texture and subtle shine. Clear glass panels enclose the shower, creating an open feel and allowing the tile design to be seen from anywhere in the room.

Minimalist Bathroom Vanity

Minimalist bathrooms require smart storage solutions to maintain a tidy look. This DIY vanity , crafted from steel bars and cedar planks, provides a stripped-down alternative to a traditional storage cabinet. The no-frills design offers spots to stash extra towels and baskets stocked with bathroom essentials.

Rustic Minimalist Bathroom

Incorporating rustic elements adds textural interest to a minimalist bathroom. Fashioned from reclaimed wood , this floating vanity introduces aged character to a space dominated by sleek surfaces. Recessed medicine cabinets are tucked into the adjacent walls to compensate for the lack of storage.

29 Minimalist Bathroom Ideas That Will Make You Want to Pare Down Your Space

Design: Laura Brophy Interiors

A well-decorated and clean bathroom of any style is good in our book, but there's one design trend that always seems to get it right: minimalism. Why is this the best approach when styling a bathroom? Minimalists tend to create intentional, well-curated spaces where clutter is kept to a minimum, and that's crucial in a small space where the sole purposes are to clean yourself up, do your business, and relax.

And while minimalist bathrooms always opt for quality over quantity, they are far from cold and boring. To make our case for minimalist bathroom design, we rounded up 29 striking examples. Take a peek to get inspired. Plus, learn how to create a similarly stylish and functional self-care oasis .

Play With Shape

Design: Katie Martinez Design

Crisp, clean, and clutter-free yet full of personality, this bathroom strikes a balance between minimalism and glamour. We love how the freestanding oval bathtub complements the bulbous shape of the side table.

Similarly, the triangular floor tiles pick up on the sharp angles of the pendant light. And while these corresponding pieces, along with the symmetry of the lighting and faucet flanked by the two windows, create a beautiful sense of cohesion, the stool offsets it just a touch for extra intrigue.

Use Rich Textures

Design: Handelsmann + Khaw

If you're trying to master the effortlessly elegant look in your bathroom, allow this one to be your guide. There's plenty of dimension and depth with a symphony of textures while still maintaining a clean, sleek aesthetic. The marble dresses up the more casual elements—like the exposed wood beams and rug—and the matte black elements throughout the space introduce a more sophisticated edge. The real stunner, of course, is that unique bathtub.

Give It a Traditional Spin

Design: Studio Ashby

Here's proof that minimalist interiors don't have to look like they're from the future. If you like the pared-down approach but prefer a traditional design to modernism, take notes from the bathroom above. The freestanding tub, the floor-to-ceiling marble, and the simple black stool blend perfectly, and the tall cream curtains add just enough drama and contrast.

Since the key ingredient to minimalism is keeping things organized and clutter-free, consider built-in wall shelving for easy storage in the bathroom.

Don't Shy Away From Color

Design: Amber Interiors

While chaotic prints and over-the-top décor should be avoided at all costs when aiming for minimalism, you can still use color in subtle ways. In fact, many minimalists love color as much as their maximalist friends do.

The key is to make sure each piece is intentional and anchored to a tight palette. In other words, choose quality over quantity. In this bathroom, all it takes is one pop of color. Specifically, the orange-and-brown rug adds warmth while breaking up the white walls , floors, linens, and tub.

Say Yes to Industrial

Bold and refined, we're loving the way the edgy concrete floating sink breaks up the brass-and-gold features. And as much as we love those statement-making pieces, the bright subway tiles are the unsung hero, thanks to that bright, eye-catching shine. Also, note the subtle design choices that free up space and keep clutter to a minimum, like the built-in towel rack and accordion wall mirror.

Opt for Organics

Design: Jessica Helgerson Interior Design

How luxurious does that shower look? This bathroom gets a lot right, but we're particularly into the use of contrasting materials that unexpectedly complement each other. The wood-paneled ceiling draws upon the cabinets, wall, and the planter, while the marble floors and shower wall tiles work to make the space feel more formal. A bathroom plant is a great way to play on the use of all these nature-inspired materials while also freshening things up.

Never Underestimate Marble

Design: Annaleena Interiors

Swanky: That about sums up this room. We love how the bathtub is tucked away into a private corner, making it the perfect spot to soak and unwind after a long day. And to state the obvious, the rich, swirling marble tiles completely make the room. When all the surfaces and walls function as style opportunities, you won't have to worry about bringing in personality with meaningless decor.

Honor Architectural Bones

Design: Jessica Menda

The architecture of the space speaks volumes. The old-school wooden beams and intricate window panels are reminiscent of Snow White's charming forest abode, while the rest of the elements have a decidedly modern feel. And while the modern pieces definitely provide contrast, they're understated enough not to clash and overshadow the room's architectural bones.

Go for Graphite

Design: Nina Holst

Clean lines and a strict black-and-white color palette make for a simple, stylish, and sleek bathroom. The black wood cabinetry is the smart, chic way to keep all the unsightly essentials tucked away when you're done using them, and it also ensures clean countertops. For a touch of nature, bring in a root plant in a simple spherical vase.

Keep Things Simple

Design: Elizabeth Roberts Architects

If you have great windows in the bathroom, definitely let the light pour in and steal the show. With a simple lone flush-mount light and an understated stool, the more refined staples in the room are able to shine. The dark hardwood floors and upscale tub are practical and pretty, while the graphic print and textured textile bring in some contemporary character.

Paint the Walls White

Design: Michelle Berwick Design

In our opinion, a totally white space is the ultimate minimalist look, and this chic bathroom by Michelle Berwick is proof. Incorporating a few dark accents and a soft transition color (like the pale gray in the shower) is a good way to add some dimension to the bathroom.

Work With What You've Got

Design: JK Interior Living

If your walls slope down, that's no reason to reconfigure your space; just work around (or with) them. For instance, in this JK Interior Living-designed bathroom, the mirror and countertops are cut in such a way that embraces the non-traditional wall.

Decorate With Plants

Design: Katherine Carter

The key to a minimal space is a lack of unnecessary decor. However, in some cases, that could leave the room feeling a bit empty and unfinished. The solution? Tall trees , which offer a nice pop of color without going overboard or disrupting the minimalist feel.

Don't Abandon the Floor

Design: Katie Hackworth

How you decorate your floors is just as important as how you decorate the walls. If you're feeling bold, go ahead and layer a few area rugs in your bathroom. So long as the rest of the space feels pared-down, a rug or two won't ruin the look.

Be Subtle With Color

Design: Katie Hodges Design

Even though white is the most convincing hue in a minimalist space, that doesn't mean you can't create a few moments of color. If you're looking for some guidance, take a page from designer Katie Hodges' book. Here, bright white walls keep the space feeling minimal (and even a bit coastal), while an olive green vanity and blush pink pendant give the space some charisma.

Use Candles

Design: Lava Interiors

The best light is sunlight, but candles are a close second. Plus, is there anything more relaxing than lighting a few elegant candles while you take a bath? We think not. Not to mention, you can skip the standing lamp in favor of a few super-tall candle stick holders.

Try a Vintage Touch

Design: Becca Interiors

One of the easiest ways to make a small space feel more interesting is by incorporating a vintage piece. For example, in this Becca Interiors-designed bathroom, the vintage basin adds quite a bit of personality.

Skip the Art

Commit to the minimalist look by forgoing all art. In a space like this, the bare walls are anything but boring courtesy of the unique, oversized tiles in a moody hue.

Mix Materials

As long as none of the materials are overly glamorous (like shiny metallics), feel free to mix as many as you please. There's no such thing as too many materials. Case in point: this Laura Brophy-designed bathroom, which features wood, marble, and glass.

Supersize Your Shower

If your bathroom is big enough, go big on the shower. The large glass cube divides the space perfectly, giving each area its own distinct look.

Get Creative With Storage

You may be short on storage in a small space, which can put a crimp in your minimalist style. Not to worry; towel ladders exist for this very reason. Not only are they simple in their design, but they're the answer to full cabinets and drawers.

Add Some Drama

Design: Chelius House of Design

In a primarily white space with pops of rattan, a jet-black penny tiled shower is extremely cool and contemporary . It doesn't detract from the space's brightness or minimalist feel, but it does make a big statement.

Focus on the Essentials

In a minimalist space, get only what you need. In this Chelius House of Design bathroom, there may be a few pieces of decor, but all of it serves a specific (and necessary) purpose—from the pendant to the full-length mirror .

Expect the Unexpected

Design: Cathie Hong Interiors

At first glance, this bathroom looks demure and simple. However, upon further inspection, the black-painted legs of the tub and ladder completely up this space's cool factor in a big way. The best part? Achieving this look is super easy to do.

Keep It Consistent

Cathie Hong uses only three tones in this minimalist bathroom: matte black, neutral wood, and bright white. None of the colors feel random because they're all used in at least two different elements. For example, the towel holder and faucet are black, the mirror's frame and vanity are both wood, and the walls and sconces are white.

Consider Subtle Shades

Design: Citizen Design Co.

This all-white space looks very cool, courtesy of the minty green tiles in the shower. The best part about this kind of look is that you can make it happen with just about any color.

Go Glamorous

Contrary to popular opinion, minimalism and glamour are definitely not mutually exclusive. One of the easiest ways to mix the two styles is to use lots of white, a few pops of black, and, of course, shiny gold-toned hardware whenever you can.

Let the Space Speak for Itself

Design: House Sprucing

In this tiny cove, House Sprucing really embraced the idea of minimalism by keeping the space quite bare. Somehow, it just works. Perhaps it's the subtle veining in the marble , which gives the space a bit of variety to feel too stark or sterile.

Use Pattern Sparingly

Design: Charlie Coull Design

The best place to try a pattern is on the bathroom floor because, in most cases, the surface area is small enough not to overtake the space. That said, laying down an aggressive and loud pattern may detract from the minimalist feel of your bathroom. Instead, opt for something a bit more subtle, like a dark chevron.

Minimalist Bathroom – Guide to Making a Simple Sanctuary

The bathroom is an essential place in the home for self-care and its aesthetic should be clean and serene. Minimalist bathrooms are just that – uncluttered, peaceful, and functional yet beautiful in their simplicity. We’re going to look at what makes a minimalist bathroom and how you can achieve a similar look in your home.

Minimalist bathrooms are uncluttered and peaceful, focused on needs and not wants. Essentials are pared down to a few necessary items for self-care, all stored neatly. With functional spaces and everything within reach, minimalist bathrooms are easy to clean and maximize the available space.

Are you looking for a way to maximize your bathroom space without adding to it? Do you feel overwhelmed by all of the stuff in your bathroom and unsure about how to better organize it?

What Is a Minimalist Bathroom?

To begin with, minimalists are those who follow the “less is more” principle in their approach to belongings. Therefore, a minimalist bathroom is uncluttered, serene, and contains mostly needs rather than wants. These bathrooms are not flashy, but toned down in terms of colors with white or neutral walls and bright white sinks and tubs.

Key features of a minimalist bathroom include:

Neutral colors
Limited decor
Empty space
Clean surfaces
Functional lighting
Simple fixtures
Clean lines
Nature elements

What Are the Essentials in a Minimalist Bathroom?

Minimalists don’t collect a great deal of belongings, and this applies to their bathrooms as well. The essentials in a minimalist bathroom are those things that are used daily or often, and this applies to not just linens but also personal hygiene supplies. Here’s a list of the essentials you’ll most likely find:

Bath towels (about 4)
Washcloths (about 4)
Neutral bath mat
Simple containers to hide tools (cotton swabs, facial tissues, makeup remover, etc.)
Drawers for skin care, makeup, hair care products, etc.
Cabinets for facial care products, oral care products, medications, etc.
Shelves for linens and toilet paper
Soap, toothbrush in a holder, and toothpaste on the countertop, plus maybe a plant for a splash of color

Of course every bathroom is structurally a little different, so organization and nice storage options like baskets and containers are used to maximize the storage while keeping with the minimalist aesthetic.

What Is a Modern Minimalist Bathroom?

A modern minimalist bathroom will have all of the essentials in a neatly organized space. There are neutral colors or a palette of white, with natural materials like wood in cabinet spaces and shelving. There are clean lines, the space flows well, and there is soft lighting or natural light from a window or skylight. The space is maximized for function as well as storage.

Keep it tidy and organized - Minimal Bathroom - Gone Minimal

Shapes are similar throughout the modern minimalist bathroom, i.e. a square mirror above a square sink next to a modern toilet and rectangular tub. The bathroom mirrors conceal medicine cabinets. There may be recessed areas above the sink or toilet for shelves or storage, so the bathroom feels open and spacious. It is an aesthetically calming space, up-to-date and relaxing for preparing for your day or for bed.

Minimalist Bathrooms Based on Size

Small – A small bathroom is perfect for the minimalist aesthetic as clutter can make a space feel smaller. In a smaller bathroom you optimize little to no storage space with baskets or neutral-colored containers. All of the paper products and linens are neatly lined on shelves to give a more organized look. Toiletries are kept behind cabinet doors to also prevent the cluttered look. Everything is within reach yet hidden from plain view.

Master Bathroom – The master bathroom is one of the most important rooms in the home, and it should look and feel relaxing. As the larger bathroom in most houses, the master usually has more available storage but also accommodates two people. As with small bathrooms, containers can be used to disguise the necessities and keep the uncluttered look. Neutral or soothing color tones throughout the space make it welcoming and soothing.

Minimalist Bathroom Decor

Mirror – The mirror in a minimalist bathroom will be standard, no frills. It could be a big mirror or a smaller simply framed mirror. There could be a round mirror to match with a round sink underneath, or the standard square.

Sink – Minimalist sinks are simple, they save space, and flow with the room. They may be set within the countertop, or set underneath. They’re easy to clean and just big enough to be functional, while still looking nice. The sink is often one of the items your eye is drawn to first in a minimalist bathroom.

Vanity – The vanity in a minimalist bathroom will be simple and easy to clean, white or muted colors (like a white and gray marble slab), with only the necessities in plain view. It will be uncluttered and functional but also pleasing to the eye. The vanity can unify the bathroom space by utilizing the color scheme-gray accents match gray linens and gray tile accents in the shower or on the floor.

Lighting – Natural lighting is preferred in the minimalist bathroom, so windows and skylights are sometimes used. Where these options aren’t possible there is simple lighting, not too bright or dark, energy-efficient fixtures that match the color palette of the rest of the bathroom. It’s enough light to get ready for work or bed without being harsh.

Color – Colors in a minimalist bathroom are white, pale, muted, and soothing. It looks clean and everything coordinates with each other. In some cases there will be low-light plants for a touch of bright color and nature. There are soothing palettes of whites and grays or browns, and it all pulls together with natural wood or stone.

Minimalist bathrooms are uncluttered and peaceful, focused on needs and not wants. Essentials are pared down to a few necessary items for self-care, all stored neatly.

Minimalist Bathroom Organization

Bathrooms aren’t usually known for their storage space, so it’s important to optimize what’s present. In a minimalist bathroom there are still plenty of things to store so the cabinets, shelves, and drawers are used efficiently. Everything has its place, is easy to find, and looks organized well. Bathroom towels and washcloths are folded neatly and placed behind cabinet doors or stacked neatly on shelves.

Toiletries are placed in drawers and medicine cabinets for easy reach and storage. Where there is open shelving, things are placed neatly and thoughtfully without appearing cluttered. There is nothing in excess-everything has its place and everything has a purpose.

How do i make my bathroom minimalist.

The first step to make your bathroom minimalist is to declutter. Get rid of all the things you don’t use to create more storage space and clear off the counter space. Next, utilize drawers and cabinets for hairbrushes, lotions, deodorant, and all of the daily use items-they don’t need to be on display! You may find you feel less stressed getting ready for work in the morning or bed at night when you’re not looking at all of the stuff sitting out!

Our Minimalist Bathroom Essentials

I get asked all the time; what products do I use in the bathroom? How do I manage to keep things relatively simple? So I thought it would be helpful to share with you our minimalist bathroom essentials.

It has taken me a while to feel comfortable showcasing any part of my life like this. I’m always saying to myself, “I’ll wait until it’s perfect, then I’ll share it”. This is the trap of the minimalist aesthetic .

I’ve realised in reality, that day may never come! So, I’m embracing the now and sharing how our bathroom looks like today.

I also want to mention two things before we get into it. We’re currently living with my parents before we move overseas.

So I’m using this as a shared space for now. I’ve displayed our minimalist bathroom essentials how we would have if the bathroom were ours. All of our products and supplies are included.

The other thing I wanted to mention is that we’re not affiliated or sponsored by any of these brands. I was thinking of turning all the brand names away so that it would seem less obvious what they are, but I think it’s important to share with you exactly what we use and avoid questions of that kind in the comments below.

Update: I’ve since created a post specifically sharing my favourite vegan beauty brands .

Principles of our minimalist bathroom

We use only organic and natural products in the bathroom. Everything is also, of course, vegan and cruelty-free. We aim to use products that come in glass packaging where possible, biodegradable (like the earbuds, toothbrushes), and to buy products to refill in bulk.

It’s not perfect, but this is where it’s at now. There are many ingredients that we avoid in our skincare , so not much makes it to our bathroom.

Anyways, without further ado, let’s get into it!

Our minimalist bathroom tour starts with our vanity.

What’s on our minimalist bathroom vanity?

The things that we keep on our vanity are things that we use every day. This includes—from left to right:

Cleansing oil (for winter) and cleansing milk (for summer)
Everyday serum (for summer)
Thick face cream (for winter)
Toothpaste*
Bamboo toothbrushes
Long teaspoon for tongue scraping
Deodorant paste*
Body lotion*

There are a few products I use differently depending on the season. It tends to be a dry winter where we currently live, so my skin needs extra moisture.

This is why I use an oil cleanser and a thicker/richer cream in winter/autumn and lighter cleansing milk (no animal products) and serum for summer/spring.

I also like to use a long-handled teaspoon as a tongue scraper instead of spending money on some particular device that would do the same job!

One other thing to note is that I share most of these products between myself and Michael. So the products that are marked, we share.

I am moving onto what you’d find in the vanity cupboard itself.

What’s in our minimalist bathroom vanity cupboard?

This one is a little messy, sorry! I wanted to show you everything else we use in the one spot so you can get an idea of it visually. I normally keep the basket in our bedroom cupboard. From top left to bottom right, the products are:

Hair straightener
Hairbrush with elastic bands
Nailpolish remover
Nailpolish—base coat, top coat and colour nail polish
Safety razor blade replacements
Tin with hairpins
Nail clippers
Hair clips for when I straighten my hair
Perfume/cologne*
Reusable menstrual pads**
Hair cap for shower
Calendula oil (for preventing scars)
Arnica oil (for sprains, bruises and muscle pain)
Colloidal Silver
Natural anti-bug spray (mosquito repellent)
Bowtech oil***
Refills for hand & body wash and shampoo

There’s a bit here, so let’s break it down.

I use a very basic routine for nail polish. I only have the base and top coat because I bought them years ago and still going through them.

I’m a big advocate for using products up, rather than just discarding.

I paint my nails a couple of times a year for special occasions and my toenails on a more regular basis. I do admit that the top and base coat keep the nail polish on for longer, but once I’ve used them up, I won’t be rebuying them.

The nail polish remover is a good one that I bought a few years ago that has no smell and is made here in Australia by a local small business that is reducing the chemicals that you’d find in conventional products.

* Michael and I share the same perfume. It has a slightly masculine scent, but it’s really lovely. We think it has a unisex scent and both wear it sparingly. If you know how I feel about fragrance , you’ll know that I would have certainly done my research before investing in a perfume!

** One thing that I switched three years ago is using reusable menstrual pads instead of disposables. When I paused to think about how much waste I was creating every single month, I quickly looked for alternatives. I love my organic menstrual pads. Made of 100% cotton, I feel confident to know I’m not using anything with chemicals/fragrances in my intimate area and that I’m not sending anything to landfill. One other product that I’ve also tried using is the menstrual cup, as I know a lot of women rave about them. I personally don’t like using them, but if you’re looking to switch from tampons, then a cup will be your best friend!

*** Bowtech oil is a fantastic Bowen Therapy practitioner oil that I discovered about four years ago when I worked for my mum in her naturopathy clinic. The Bowen therapist that worked there introduced me to it, and I’ve been sharing it with others ever since! It’s one of my go-to products in the bathroom. If I go away somewhere, I always take it with me. It’s my little first-aid oil. If I feel pain in my back (which tends to happen more often than not, unfortunately), I use this oil, and it disappears. I swear it’s like magic! I love this stuff.

The oils I also use as first aids. My mum handmade them, and I have them handy, but you don’t need much, so they have been lasting me a very long time.

The other product that is part of my first aid kit and that also comes with me when I go away is silver colloid (or commonly known as colloidal silver). I’ve been using this stuff for many years and use it for everything from gargling when I have a sore throat to putting on my face when I have admittedly picked at it so that it kills any bacteria (and heals much faster!). There are many other uses for it, but those are a couple of ways that I do.

The refill bottles on the bottom right-hand side of the image are for the shampoo that I use in the shower (coming in another image later), and the hand and body wash. This is refilled for the bottle on the sink and the bottle in the shower.

I get both from local bulk stores and have them as a backup, so I don’t have to go to the store as often. The refill for the hand and body wash is a different brand to the one that is on the bottle, but the shampoo is the same as the one you will see below.

What type of makeup do I keep in my minimalist bathroom?

My makeup bag doesn’t have much in it as I’ve used up products over the years. I didn’t want to rebuy and switch slowly to products that completely align with my ethics.

I don’t tend to wear makeup often so they tend to last a while (probably longer then they should according to their expiry dates). Whoops! Here’s what you’ll find in my makeup bag from left to right:

Liquid foundation
Lipstick (I have two but didn’t add the second one in the image, it’s a peachy colour)
Kabuki brush
Mascara brush/applicator

So this isn’t perfect, but it’s not easy to find organic, vegan and well-performing makeup out there! If you’ve been following what we do for a while, you’ll know that we owned an online store that had stringent guidelines with products. I found the makeup section the hardest, and with good reason!

What I’m aiming for eventually is to have vegan, cruelty-free, organic/natural, titanium dioxide-free, and zero waste or refillable makeup.

I value performance as well, so this might take a lot of trial and error. Who am I kidding, it has taken years of trial and error, and I’m still learning about new brands and products.

I hope to switch as much as possible to the brand that I get my mascara from as I’m very impressed with the performance and ingredients in her range.

As you can see, I keep my makeup routine and range super simple!

What’s in our shower?

Now, onto the last section of the bathroom. And that’s the shower. I’ve already mentioned the shampoo and body wash. But as you’ll see, there isn’t much else to it!

Products from left to right are:

Coffee grounds as a body scrub*
Safety razor**

That’s it! We don’t do anything fancy, and we keep it super simple. Both Michael and I use these products and over the years have simplified it a lot.

I don’t use conditioner in my hair because I don’t need it. I used it for many years, but at some point realised that it was just a waste of money as my hair was fine without it.

* The scrub is something that we started doing a few months ago. I get coffee grounds after our morning brew every 3-4 days and use it as a body scrub in the shower. It works well, and the best part is that it’s free.

** The safety razor is something that I contemplated for years but was nervous trying it out as I was paranoid about cutting myself. In the beginning, I took forever because I was so slow and so careful, but it just takes time and practice. Yes, I still might be quite slow with it, but much more confident than I was at the beginning! Michael and I both use this in the shower.

So that’s it! You’ve had a peek into our bathroom and what we use. I did forget to photograph Michael’s shaving set that he uses for his face and hair. Other than that, it’s all there.

Other minimalist bathroom essentials

The other couple of things that get rotated in our bathroom are:

Four big towels (two towels each)
Two hand towels
Four face towels
Two bath mats
Six face washers (for removing makeup before cleansing)*

* These are organic cotton reusable baby wipes that I have utilised as makeup removers. I just run them under warm water and wipe away the makeup before cleansing. Then I give them a quick rinse and pop them in the washing basket when they are dry.

I hope you enjoyed seeing what we have in our bathroom. It may not be what you thought you’d see in a minimalists bathroom, but we have paired it down to everything that we use regularly and that we deem essential in our lives. Is there anything that you think we’ve missed as essentials? Let me know in the comments below.

I love that you’re a minimalist and using clean safe products look into lemongrass spa I found them a few years ago and now sale them myself after trying so many products for my son and his acne their products stated clearing up his face over night they are safe and natural products

This minimalist bathroom article offers practical tips for decluttering and simplifying your space. Great inspiration for a serene retreat!

Thank you for sharing. I live in organized clutter and ready for a change. Starting with my bathroom. I keep 2-4 toilet paper rolls on a shelf for convenience. Where is yours?

I use coconut oil as make-up remover, face moisturizer, and conditioner/ detangler! I have another jar of it in the bedroom because it makes great lubricant 🙂 and the biggest jar of coconut oil sits in our kitchen and gets used in cooking. I only have to buy 1 jar of coconut oil per year (about $11) and it lasts me all year for all these purposes! I think coconut oil is a great friend for every minimalist 🙂

Coconut oil sure is versatile! I agree, perfect for every household 🙂 Thanks for sharing how you use it!

As a confirmed coffee drinker, I’m intrigued by the idea of using used coffee grounds in the shower (a second wake-me-up method, if you will) rather than sending them out to the compost heap. There’s no long-term issue with long hair and grounds combining to form clogs in the tub’s drainage systems?

I haven’t experienced any issues, however, I only exfoliate about once a week so I don’t think that much coffee grounds would have an impact on my drains.

Hello thank you for sharing your bathroom essentials, its wonderful, it makes my bathroom look extra cluttered (covering my face in shame)! But now I know better and will work on it. I do have a few questions: what brand mascara do you use, how do you use the long hand teaspoon as a tongue scraper? I just use the plastic ones but have seen metal ones. I love the idea though because i could avoid the plastic and save $ as well. Also, you mentioned the face creams you use, one being heavier and another lighter depending on the season. Do you use them morning and evening, and where can I find them? Im having a hard time finding a good cream that has natural ingredients, is cruelty free, and has all that good stuff. Also I love the idea of reusable menstrual pads!! I didn’t know that was even an option, like wow! I mean if babies wear cloth diapers, um hello us women can too!! (Lol, I refer to my pads as diapers, and of course the time of the month I just say “Im on diapers!!” Lol. Anyways ONE more question! What about your bathroom cleaning supplies? Where do you store those and what do you use?

Hi Mya, glad that you enjoyed the post. Okay, I’ll list the answers for you below: 1. I use Dirty Hippie mascara. 2. I use the side of the teaspoon (linger part) and just scrape my tongue multiple times to make sure I cover my full tongue (rinsing in between). 3. The heavier one I use is called barrier repair moisturiser in the evenings and the everyday clarity serum in the morning – both from Nourish Botanicals (Australian brand). The serum I use for both morning and evening is warmer weather. The reason I use the heavier moisturiser only in the evenings is that it’s too heavy under makeup. If I don’t wear makeup, then I use it twice a day in winter. Hope that makes sense! Other great brands that I like are OSEA (US-based) or Mokosh (Aus based). 4. They are great! The brand that I use is Hannahpad. They use organic cotton in their pads. 5. The bathroom cleaning products are a mix (that I’ve had a few years). I use Organic Clean for toilet (the disinfectant one that smells amazing!) and their bathroom spray for general cleaning. A mould control spray in the shower from Abode which I get from a local bulk store as a refill. I keep all these underneath the laundry sink 🙂 Hope that all helps!

Hi there Interesting read… I would like to buy some organic cotton reusable baby wipes…where can I get them from…(actually it is for my daughter to take her make up off with) I also want to get a safety razor (we used to use them way back…ha ha )…where do you buy them from? Thanks, Dale.

Hi Dale, The wipes are this brand and the safety razor I brought from here . They’re both Australian brands so not sure where you are in the world but you might be able to find them online somewhere in your country/area. Hope that helps!

5 ways I design a minimalist bathroom – that's beautiful and never bland

'Minimalist bathrooms' can be inviting and relaxing if you know how to pack them with texture. This is how I do it for my interior design clients

Three minimalist bathrooms in white and gray

1. Introduce natural wood

2. add texture with intriguing surfaces, 3. add interest with contrast, 4. choose one stand-out feature, 5. pare back on colors.

Minimalist bathrooms needn't be so pared back as to be clinical.

If you are looking for bathroom ideas that are streamlined and sleek, you can find ways to make the room feel warm and welcoming, even without color.

The key is to design a bathroom centered around natural materials and textures, which you can introduce in a variety of ways. These are just some of the techniques I used to design a minimal bathroom that's as visually impactful as one that leans to maximalism.

Natural wood elements are a great way to incorporate texture into minimalist bathroom design. Achieve an elevated yet grounding earthy look by adding a natural wood vanity and wall paneling or decorative pieces like a teak stool or wooden catchall.

In a minimalist bathroom design, texture and materials play a crucial role in creating visual interest. Select a few high-quality materials and incorporate them strategically throughout the space.

For example, consider using textured tiles on the walls or floors, such as subway bathroom tiles with a three-dimensional pattern or natural stone with unique veining.

Incorporate bathroom countertop materials like concrete, wood, or glass, and for vanities, or shelving. By using carefully chosen textures and materials, you can add depth and intrigue to the minimalist bathroom without compromising its clean and sleek aesthetic.

Introduce contrasting elements to create visual interest in a minimalist bathroom.

For instance, pair smooth surfaces with rough or matte finishes. Combine light and dark tones to create a striking contrast.

Consider incorporating black fixtures or hardware against a white or neutral backdrop. By carefully balancing contrasting elements, you can create a minimalist bathroom that captivates the eye with its simplicity and subtle contrasts.

While a minimalist bathroom typically favors simplicity, you can still incorporate statement fixtures and accessories to add a touch of intrigue.

Choose a unique, freestanding bathtub as a focal point. Install an eye-catching pendant light or a modern chandelier to add visual interest to the space. By incorporating these statement elements thoughtfully, you can create a minimalist bathroom that is visually captivating while maintaining its clean and uncluttered aesthetic.

Using a singular bathroom color palette can produce endless options in a minimalist bathroom design, devoid of unnecessary distractions.

Thoughtfully selecting monochromatic textures, finishes, and patterns contribute to a dynamic space while maintaining a minimalist approach.

How do I make my bathroom minimalist?

Any bathroom can be quickly made minimalist through a rethinking of accessories, from blinds to bottles, and a good decluttering . The list of items to get rid of for a minimalist bathroom include countertop decor and open shelving, both of which allow visual clutter to rob the bathroom of its minimalist appeal. Where possible, everything from spare towels to all but the best-looking toiletries should be hidden from sight behind closed doors.

Organizing a bathroom well and investing in the best bathroom storage ideas are also both key to designing a minimalist bathroom. In your design process, invest time in ensuring there is negative space (or, empty space); any room cluttered with too much furniture will fail at minimalism.

Small & Minimalist Bathroom Organization Tour

What in the world is a minimalist bathroom? Well, come see our master bathroom and learn our minimalist bathroom organization tips. I’ll show you where we keep all of our stuff.

As more of our friends become aware of our minimalist lifestyle, the question I seem to get asked quite a bit is “What do you do with all of your stuff?” I thought it may be interesting to see a behind-the-scenes look at one of our hard-working spaces to see how much stuff we actually have and what we do with it.

Our master bathroom is not that big. The overall dimension is 5½ feet by 5½ feet, not counting the shower. However, it packs a punch with all of its functions.

1. Tilework

The tile was done by me! This was my first tile project. We opted to eliminate any shelf or ledge in the shower partly because of cleaning purposes and partly because I didn’t think I could make it waterproof enough.

2. Custom vanity

I saw a similar product in Pottery Barn, but it was costly. I asked my husband if he’d consider building it. It was the first piece of furniture he built. It’s fairly simple in design with basket storage, one real drawer, and one fake drawer front.

The vanity top came from our local Habitat Restore store. I wanted a basic, neutral, simple shape. It cost about $15. The total cost of the vanity was around $50, not including the faucet. The faucet is a simple Delta model. We keep the countertop pretty clear.

3. Shower curtain

We opted for a shower curtain instead of a glass shower enclosure. I have contemplated upgrading in the future to a glass enclosure. But the more I’m living with the curtain, the more I like it.

You can take it right off and throw it in the washing machine. It also helps to hide our shower basket on the floor that’s filled with products. The basket is a handy and simple solution so the water drains out so it doesn’t get gross or sticky.

4. Hooks and holders

Our towel hooks and toilet paper holders are also from Delta. We’re not in love with the hooks, though. They don’t hold the towels very well.

small minimalist bathroom organization tour, Higher model toilet

It took a while to get used to this higher model. It is supposed to be better for accessibility as you get older. We keep our bathroom spray behind the toilet and the small garbage can. You can see it poking out from behind the can.

We use the two baskets under the sink for storage. The left side bin is where we keep pajamas and clothes we are going to wear again.

This is the equivalent of a chair that other people have and they throw clean clothes on. The right side bin is basically our hamper. Next to the basket are surplus products, like toilet paper and shampoos.

small minimalist bathroom organization tour, Organizing bathroom drawers

The drawer in the vanity is divided into three parts. My husband and I get one side and we share the middle part. Everything is in its place in the metal baskets that fit perfectly in the drawer. The baskets hold everything from deodorant and shaving products to hair brushes and makeup in one small bag.

8. My makeup bag

I have a simple makeup routine and everything fits into this one small bag. I don’t have a special skincare routine so I don’t have lotions. The bag fits in the drawer in my basket.

Minimalist bathroom organization

I hope I answered any questions about our minimalist bathroom storage methods. The simple answer is that we just don’t have a lot of things or stuff so we can keep it in a smaller space. Do you have ways you hide your stuff in the bathroom? Let us know in the comments.

Join the conversation

What do you do with seasonal sheets,, blankets, and comforters? It sounds like you don't have any backup deodorant or other items. I put my sheets inside the matching pillowcases but still have 4 of them on the top shelf of my linen closet along with change out towels, etc.

Minimalist Bathroom Designs (Elevate Your Home’s Style)

More than just having less furniture or decor, minimalism, when applied in built spaces, is more complex than we think, as expressed by the lifestyle or movement of minimalism. The minimalist bathroom interior design should also be highly functional, despite having minimal elements.

Anatomy of a Minimalist Bathroom

There is simplicity in elegance, and as Mies Van der Rohe says, less is more. Since its rise in the art community, minimalism has become the “mainstream” style of architecture and interiors and continues to be applied in our contemporary homes. We take a look below at what makes a bathroom minimalist.

Color Palette: The early stage of planning your minimalist bathroom usually starts off with what colors to use or combine, and knowing the color choice usually makes it easier to choose other elements. Colors can inspire designs and set the mood or stage of your design.

Achromatic Color Scheme: While monochromatic has become synonymous with monochromatic, many may not be familiar with the achromatic color scheme, which is a common color combination in minimalism.

An achromatic color scheme is when it combines achromatic colors, namely black, white, and shades of gray, or a full-value tonal range of gray. These colors are considered neutrals since they do not contain any chroma or hue.

For a minimalist bathroom that uses an achromatic color scheme, take a cue from industrial minimalism interiors. The neutrals are great at adding depth and defining areas by utilizing light with the achromatic colors.

Monochromatic Color scheme: The use of different shades of one single color eliminates the need to mix and match different colors. Visually, it is more relaxing and has that needed variation, but at the same time, it has a harmonious quality due to the similar base color. This also allows other elements, such as texture, to be more noticeable as it has a backdrop with a single color.

Though you can choose virtually whatever color you prefer, a minimalist bathroom design feels more relaxed with light and neutral tones. A monochromatic color scheme is great when considering small bathroom ideas for your home, as a single color means fewer competing colors.

Neutral color scheme: Neutral colors are a staple when it comes to painting the walls , ceiling, or floor, as these colors can match with other colors while keeping a backdrop that’s easy on the eyes. Neutrals allow other elements to pop, and depending on the mood or preference, you can choose between warm and cool neutrals.

Two-Color Scheme: A two-color scheme narrows down elements into only two colors, usually using solid colors. A minimalist color palette with a white and lavender combination, for instance, creates a cool and relaxing vibe and allows other bathroom elements to become noticeable.

Lighting: Light is interwoven with the design to achieve the intended mood of the space. In minimalism, lighting is popularly used to add depth and emphasize the sleek and simplified profiles of elements, as seen in falling water countertops when LED lights are installed along the countertop profile.

Light used also aims to create an airy feeling in the space, and minimalism primarily utilizes natural light. A designer would find ways to allow natural light into your interior.

Flooring: Minimalist flooring presents an opportunity to add texture. In a bathroom setting, vinyl planks or laminated engineered floors can simulate the look of wood while keeping an impervious flooring surface. Light-colored wood is a preferred tone when it comes to minimalist bathrooms, as it serves as a grounding color while keeping a light and airy atmosphere in the space.

Fixtures: Bathroom fixtures for minimalist designs are characterized by simple and sleek hardware finishes and can be integrated with smart features such as heat sensors that eliminate the need for levers or handles. The pared-down version of fixtures lessens visual distractions.

The streamlined aesthetic is accompanied by modern finishes such as matte black or chrome materials. Floating vanities and wall mounted faucets are popular because they free up the lower space and creates a clean and airy look.

Storage: Hidden compartments and niches are popular in minimalist bathrooms for organization. A hidden cabinet behind the mirror, for instance, saves space and keeps your toiletries out of the way.

Minimizing spaces in your home helps you achieve the greatest level of peace and relaxation. The bathroom is a great example of this. Getting rid of the clutter in your bathroom will make it seem more spacious. – Summary of Joshua Becker’s The Minimalist Home, Everest Media

Multi-purpose items such as vanity stools with storage are popular in chic minimal bathrooms. Customized storage that is tailor-made to fit your space and needs is the best option for minimalist interiors.

Accessories: While minimalism is all about keeping necessary items only as much as possible, it doesn’t mean you don’t have the option of choosing accessories to enhance the quality of your space. You do need to choose accessories that have simple geometric profiles, such as square or rectangles.

Aside from keeping it simple, the fewer accessories, the better. Accessories that are neutral or pale toned are great in a relaxing spa-like setting since its more relaxing to the eyes rather than bold tones.

Also, focus on the quality of your accessories. Multi-purpose or multi-use accessories are great for maximizing the space and providing the convenience of use in your bathroom. For instance, sleek glass holders give a luxurious look to your modern layout while being an easy-to-clean material.

Textures: One of the main qualities of minimalism is having “no makeup” on surfaces. Choose materials that have an innate texture. Bare natural stone or unpainted concrete walls are popular options for adding a tactile surface. The use of bare concrete was popularized in the Brutalist movement.

Introduce a few pieces of organic material in your room to offset the clean and sleek surfaces. Woven rugs made of jute or storage baskets made of wicker are organic materials you can easily integrate into a modern interior. This juxtaposition of smooth and sleek vs. tactile and earthy creates a more welcoming atmosphere in your bathroom.

Materials: Minimalist bathroom designs incorporate modern materials and the two main popular natural materials, wood and stone. Concrete, glass, and metal are used extensively, sometimes with sometimes integration of leather and plastic materials. Liquid stone and concrete can be shaped and formed into any design, making them versatile materials.

As seen, most brutalist and contemporary homes are used with concrete. However, while brutalist walls are untreated, you will need to seal off your concrete if you ever you will be using it as a vanity countertop or as flooring, walling, or ceiling to prevent mold buildup. This will also increase its life service.

Profile/Lines: Choose elements that have simple geometric lines, such as a square or rectangle. A circular mirror is a popular option for vanities and adds variety to your rectangular or square elements. A thinner version of your floating vanity sinks are plane sinks.

These are sinks that usually have 2 to 3 inches of thickness and have their sink sloped towards the mounted side. The simple design creates a clean and uncluttered look in your bathroom.

Plane sinks are going to be popular due to their clean and sleek appearance. You’ll also find a version with a hidden sink drain that uses a bottle trap instead of your space-consuming p-trap.

Space Utilization: Like other minimalist interiors, a bathroom aiming for that minimalistic style typically utilizes an open floor plan. This means open and flowing spaces.

• Use transparent or translucent surfaces, especially for room dividers.

• Take advantage of reflective and smooth surfaces by creating an illusion of spaciousness.

• Consider low-profile bathtubs that take up less floor space. Slipper tubs for instance are luxurious and take up less room than a traditional built-in model.

Windows that are located higher not only provide privacy but also make it easier to utilize vertical spaces. If windows are not possible, explore other options, such as solar tubes or a bathroom skylight , to capture natural light.

• Choose square or rectangular-shaped furniture, as it is easy to fit in corners.

Minimalist Materials and Palette Choices That Speak Volumes

While pale and neutral tones have become the staple when it comes to minimalistic interiors, we do see the inclusion of earthy tones and strong backdrops such as black, charcoal gray, and metallic surfaces. Bejeweled colors such as emerald green, ruby tones, sapphire blue, and tangerine are injected into these solemn spaces.

Earthy tone palette: This color combines colors that are inspired by nature, such as sage green, dessert beige, and other muted greens and beiges.

Modern materials: Chrome and stainless steel a favorite hardware materials also due to their durability and work well with glass, concrete, wood, leather, and other modern materials. For this reason, you’ll find sleek shower glass dividers and in-bathroom hardware.

Luxury stones: One of the advantages of having a minimalist style is that you can easily showcase natural textures such as marble or granite. The soft swirls and whimsy stretch of tile veining are eye-catching and create richness in a minimalist floor plan.

Canvas and Wool: Another way to balance the overall look of your bathroom interior is to add softer materials. White faux fur rugs are popular, as well as canvas storage bins, which add variety to your room’s style without overpowering other elements. Other bathroom rug materials you can include are linen, silk, and other synthetic fibers .

Maximizing Interior Space Without Adding More

Using less décor and unnecessary elements in your minimalist bathroom lessens space usage. Small layouts that adopt this type of style have the advantage of maximizing space without the need to add more square footage.

Strategies:

• Remove unnecessary items in your bathroom to free up some space.

• Use multi-purpose furniture or accessories.

• Utilize your vertical space.

• Take advantage of the neutral tones and sleek surfaces for that optical illusion of having more space.

• Stackable and foldable storage items can save space while ensuring you have enough storage area.

• Opt for built-in storage as well as niches. Having a storage or fixture built to accommodate the area available means you can occupy the space fully and according to your preference and use.

Minimalist Bathroom Design With Maximum Functionality

Your minimalist bathroom design aims to have that maximum functionality, and it starts with having a flexible space. When you are still in the planning stage for a new build, you can choose your bathroom perimeter. A square or rectangular plan is the easiest shape to configure your elements. You may also want to consider an open plan with sleek room dividers , such as glass.

Maximizing the natural light is another important factor in creating a functional minimalist bathroom. Properly designed light minimizes the need for additional luminaires and the adjustment of areas.

Personalizing Your Minimal Space

Thoughtful incorporation of items into your bathroom space is the key to personalizing your minimal space. You can select meaningful pieces, such as objects that are sentimental to you. Personalized items, such as a personalized towel and accessories, are a great way to create a unique space that’s tailor-made for your use.

A single artwork or sculpture of your favorite artist, color, or character is a great way to integrate your style into your minimalist space. A potted plant and accessories is another great way to soften and give character to a minimalist bathroom.

Checklists: For decluttering and planning

1. Planning Checklist

• Purge unused and duplicate products, which include expired products, especially medicines.

• Lessen décor items. A general rule is to have at least one, but not more than three, in a small bathroom to have a greater visual impact.

• Limit toiletries. If possible, place your extra toiletries in your laundry or other functional rooms with larger storage spaces.

• Don’t place free samples shampoos or other toiletries in the bathroom. You can, however, choose to place all sample items in a poach bag or basket.

• Don’t forget to plan your waste bin location. Embedded waste bins, pullouts, or recessed bins have a sleek and modern look and can be integrated into your minimalist counters or walls.

• Remove toilet packaging to reduce the space occupied by your toiletries.

• Do periodic cleanings of your bathroom. An easily accessible bin will encourage you to clean your room regularly.

• Consider built-in or customized storage for your bathroom, especially when it is a newly built interior.

2. Decluttering Checklist (Download this Bathroom-Decluttering-Checklist here)

• As a prerequisite to organizing your bathroom, be ready with your cleaning tools. Also, prepare trash bags and protective gear such as gloves and, if needed, a gas mask.

• Prepare bins or containers where the sizes will depend on how many items you have in your bathroom. Label these containers according to where they are classified, such as toiletries, kids’ toys, décor, and linens. If you have smaller items, you can further categorize your items such as shampoo, soap, makeup, oils, etc.

• Assign a time when you are unlikely to be disturbed when cleaning your bathroom if you are planning for a general clean. Then, assign a scheduled time for maintenance, such as setting aside once a week or twice a week.

• Prepare a box to place unnecessary items that may be eventually used in the future to be set aside. You can also donate items to charity if you prefer.

• Remove all items from the room, including electronic gadgets and mounted hooks or bins.

• While removing items, place them in the assigned box or containers with labels.

• Once you have purged items from the removed items, it’s time to clean up your bathroom.

• After a thorough cleaning, return your items. You may choose to have vertical or multi-purpose organizers and storage trays to house your toiletries.

• Utilize storage by finding ways to use unusable or odd spaces, such as over-the-door organizers, wall-mounted shelves, and stackable ottomans.

You are able to set gorgeous accents through their wise use of substances, textures, and colors anyway. Include an intriguing twist to the minimalist bathroom – a rustic touch. For instance, a minimalist and cool bathroom earns a bucolic touch out of the wood shelf, which can serve as the sink counter. A couple of potted plants put pops of color & a refreshing look.

A contemporary bathroom includes grey walls, modern-rustic shelves, wood-themed flooring, and charming rustic decoration. Extraordinary lighting installations with behind-the-mirror mood lamps and amazing silver pin drop lighting fixtures give the bathroom an edgy modern plus captivating vibe. Take the monotony from your modern minimalist bathroom with exceptional and sharp cabinetry. Cabinetry with warm wood tones of a minimalist bathroom can counter the great & mainstream pristine white walls and grey and black accents. Marble is an elegant, timeless, and beautiful bathroom feature. Adding marble for your minimalist and modern bathroom will instantly inject an elegant and luxurious look while maintaining the thoroughly clean lines and uncluttered design of minimalism.

A number of vintage pieces put into the modern, and bright bathroom interiors give it a captivating and unique look. A contemporary bathroom with white walls & ceilings, grey patterned floors, a geometric chandelier, a set of old paned windows, and an eye-catching vintage and also golden faucet ensemble will complete your minimalist bathroom. Accessories and furniture with a simple style can possibly enable you to obtain an area minimalist without being too sterile & empty. The couch is useful and usually without handles. Geometric shapes and symmetry are clearly normal of the minimalist decoration. Go for colors that are light like gray and cream. Play with various textures and shades.

Tips On Creating The Perfect Minimalist & Modern Bathroom

The bathroom appears to gather items faster compared to some other areas in the home. Half clear plastic bottles of shampoo line the tips of the tub, teeth brushes are tossed right into a cup beside hair products and the sink, face creams, along with ointments assemble in a bin under the sink. If this seems familiar, perhaps it is time to change your bathroom right into a minimalist oasis. Pick neutral colors, like grey or white, for the wall space plus scatter additional neutral tones throughout the area as accents. This will keep the bathroom feeling open & bright still in case you have zero windows and improves the natural light in case you have a little.

A mess is a minimalist’s worst headache. The real key to attaining a minimalist bathroom is eliminating the mess. This means no far more toothpaste tubes strewn over the counter, hairbrushes tossed directly into overflowing baskets, or maybe too much decor perched smartly on shelves. Although the wall space must be held pretty light, earning darker elements, like dark hardware, could create a bold statement without earning needless objects. Incorporating touches of concrete or wood to offset an all white-colored bathroom adds warmth and texture to the bathroom while maintaining an easy visual.

Merely since you’ve additional storage area, it does not suggest you have to seal it completely. Keeping empty space clear and only using what you truly need is crucial to attaining minimalism within the bathroom. Anything you bring to your minimalist bathroom should be equally functional and beautiful. There is absolutely no space for items that do not serve a purpose. Make certain that also the basic things, such as a towel rack or maybe a soap bottle, conduct their function beautifully.

Bathrooms, no matter if they are on the bigger side, are not always the largest areas, and if you throw in a bath or maybe tub, a sink, along with a toilet, they get even smaller. Topping that with busy stone patterns, flooring, along with ornate fixtures, could be visual overload. On the other hand, you’re able to have things completely clean and very simple with a minimalist look that can give itself to a soothing getaway in which we really love spending our time.

CLASSIC FLAIR

Do you long for a bathroom with a complete view of the outdoors? The huge windows make the bathroom appear larger than it is. This bathroom was designed by Park City Design Build , and it features a color scheme of white, brown, and black.

NEUTRAL COLOR

The wood on the ceiling gives this bathroom a cozy, relaxing vibe. This bathroom design by Giulietti Schouten Architects appears natural and comfortable. This area is small, yet it serves its function well. This clean and simple bathroom is enticing.

Careful Considerations When Designing A Minimalist Bathroom

Picture this—a gleaming white sink, totally free of seldom-used items, along with toiletries. Fresh, sleek surfaces; little design. Not a toothbrush or container of hairspray or filthy towel on sight. Does this seem much like your bathroom? Maybe not yet, but don’t worry, we will get there. Achieving that kind of space is possible. If you are inundated with clutter each time you walk into the bathroom of yours, it might be some time to consciously change your disorganized bathroom into a minimalist one with a modern feel and look. Make sure you check out our photos and ideas for inspiration.

There are lots of fans of the design of “less is more” or maybe minimalism in that the focus is positioned on a clean look and minimum elements. Nevertheless, it is really simple in the small modern bathroom to break the lovely appearance with needless details and accents. Consequently, we give you a couple of tips to keep the bathroom’s minimalist atmosphere and what sort of accessories to use. One of the greatest methods to get into the bathroom minimalist feeling of luxury and style is the plants. In the bathrooms with some spaciousness, include several plants that are tall and don’t occupy much space and are going to become a center point.

A bad thing that happens in decorating minimalist bathroom styles is the sterile look. In order to help make the space a bit warmer, use products that are loaded with texture and that are in comparison with the glossy and smooth elements. This may be bin, wooden chairs, and even old ladder for dangling bath towels. Frequently, the colors belonging in the minimalist bathrooms are white, cream, beige, gray, etc. You don’t have to make excellent initiatives to separate the monotony of these basic colors. Your bathroom is going to come alive with just a few things in color. An additional way to bring the color to the basic bathroom, is the usage of patterned material. It can easily stay in the form of mats or towels.

Minimalism is not only a style; it is actually a way of living. It is virtually cutting the majority from your life—not simply about simple and sleek home furniture, but additionally adopting a “declutter” strategy. And when there is one particular location just where it will pile up, it is the bathroom. Bottles, towels, clothes appear to magically accumulate in sides and shelves. The bathroom is very easily among probably the smallest areas in the house. And so, skip additional accessories which make it appear to be cluttered and disorganized. Simply choose one or perhaps two decor pieces that will not crowd surfaces for a fresh, neat look.

How to Create a Minimalist Bathroom That Still Has Great Style

Minimalist design is a popular trend in interior and exterior design. It’s about stripping away anything that isn’t absolutely necessary, which means minimalist bathrooms are just as chic as a minimalist living room.

While minimalism means you don’t have lots of items or decor everywhere, it doesn’t mean being without style!

In this blog post, we will discuss how to create a minimalist bathroom with great style by using key elements like high-quality materials, clean lines, and creative storage solutions.

What is a minimalist bathroom?

A minimalist bathroom is one without any unnecessary extras, so they are designed to have everything you need but nothing more.

Note: a minimalist bathroom is often confused with a modern bathroom as there are similar design concepts like an emphasis on clean lines and natural lighting.

Minimalist Bathroom Ideas That Still Have Style

Often, when people think about minimalist interiors, they think of boring and drab. But that’s not the case! Minimalism in interior design emphasizes simplicity, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be a beautiful and stylish bathroom. With clean, straight lines and creative storage solutions like baskets under sinks or freestanding shelves, a simple design can make your bathroom feel calming and luxurious while being simple and functional.

Minimalist means less

A minimalist bedroom has fewer things in it than other rooms do because you spend most of your time sleeping there so many unnecessary things just distract from its purpose as a place to sleep and recharge for another day of living life fully.

The same goes for bathrooms – they are designed to make getting ready easier rather than give you more options on what kind of toothpaste flavor you want to use for that day. It’s all about choosing things that have a function and using them to beautify your minimalist space.

You don’t have to buy everything new

If you’re passionate about design, try incorporating some of those skills into designing your own minimalist-style bathroom before buying anything new. After all, minimalism is about less, not more! If you do need to purchase items for your bathroom, make sure everything blends nicely and doesn’t look too cluttered or messy.

How do I create a minimal bathroom?

Capturing the minimalist feel in your bathroom can be pretty simple. The hardest part is avoiding buying too many things at the store because everything is so cute.

Creating a bathroom design with minimalism in mind means that you are creating spaces that are functional and clutter free.

Declutter your bathroom before you start

Before you start decorating your bathroom you need to have less clutter. The more clutter you have, the harder time you’ll have to achieve a minimalist bathroom design. So declutter the space before you get started.

Simplifying your bathroom is an essential part of the process

Go through all of your products and current bathroom decor and get rid of the things that are broken, no longer work, or that you don’t use. If you’re having a difficult time letting go of certain items, think of someone who you know that would love them. Or even consider donating them!

You can also buy bottles that are all the same style so that your bathroom looks streamlined. The consistency in your bottles will help the room look less crowded and cluttered.

Shop Bathroom Labels and Containers:

Avoid clutter when putting things away in bathroom cupboards and drawers

After you declutter, it’s important to find storage solutions (like built in storage) that will help cover up the bathroom essentials you’re keeping. You’ll want to leave as many surfaces open as possible. You also want your storages space to be organized so you can easily find everything.

For example, you can store your hair products in a magazine rack under the sink so that when you open the cupboard, you see a nice clean magazine rack, not a ton of hair products.

Make Storage a Part of the Decor

You can create minimalist storage solutions with things that you already have around the house. For example, a bookcase could be used to store towels in your bathroom, or you could line up several of the same types of bins to improve the aesthetic of the bathroom. This helps make clean lines that are pleasing to the eye.

Cover your Personal Products with Bins or Magazine Racks

Cover up personal products that you use to get ready wherever possible to help you achieve that spa-like feel you are going for that is peaceful and pleasing.

You can cover up some of your products by using medicine cabinets or a vanity.

Interior Design Concepts for a Minimalist Bathroom

Here are a few ideas to incorporate into your minimalist bathroom design.

Incorporate Simple Beautiful Lighting

Lighting can be an extremely simple way to add style to a minimalist bathroom. You can use lamps or candles to create different moods and add ambiance to the space. A hanging light, like a pendant light, can also give your bathroom just the right lighting.

In addition to great lighting, installing a pendant light or two can really help to add some personality to your bathroom. Finding inspiration from other minimalist bathrooms around the world can be helpful as well, you just have to search for what you love! Lights are functional items because they give you light and style.

Shop Minimalist Bathroom Lighting:

Install Beautiful Flooring

Subway tiles are a popular option for a minimalist bathroom. They are stylish, yet they have the clean lines that make things feel calm.

You could also consider installing marble floors. Black hexagonal floor tiles are also a popular choice when designing a minimalist bathroom. A black floor is bold, but it can look amazing.

A reclaimed wood floor has the ability to really warm up a room and make it feel cozy in the winter months. Wood brings natural elements inside. Just take caution to not get the wood too wet or it will get ruined. Or you could even install tile that looks like wood!

Incorporate Wood into your Bathroom Design

When designing a minimalist bathroom, if you oversimplify, things can tend to feel cold. The minimalist approach is to combine a few great design elements with more neutral pieces. Using wood in part of your design will help to warm up the bathroom and make it feel more inviting.

Incorporate wood accents into the decor such as a wooden jar that holds the q-tips or a wooden tray to hold your bath salts. They bring a beautiful earthy tone to the bathroom.

Shop Wood Accents:

Add Wood to your Walls

You could also consider installing a wood panel wall to bring in the wood texture.

Use Color Sparingly when Designing a Minimalist Bathroom

A quick way to keep it minimal is by sticking with one color scheme throughout the entire room–this can give a sense of order which helps make things feel neat and tidy. Plus, it’s easier to stick to a simple color palette!

You may not realize it, but different colors can affect the interior design space that you are designing. In a minimalist bathroom, it is recommended that you limit the amount of color to only one or two which will prevent your room from feeling too busy and overwhelming.

A white bathroom is super popular, with white walls and floors, paired with other neutrals to make it feel cohesive and interesting.

Different Colors Evoke Different Emotions

Interior design teaches us that bright colors can make you feel happy while muted colors can make you feel relaxed and calm. Minimalist bathrooms typically have more neutral colors such as black, white, or gray. Wood accents are also a common addition.

A minimalist bathroom is a refreshing change of pace for anyone who doesn’t want to have their minimal space cluttered but still wants it to be aesthetically pleasing.

One key element that helps keep minimalist bathrooms feeling clean, fresh, and peaceful are the use of fixtures like white sink basins, a crisp white extra-large bathtub , and a floating vanity or a floating sink in order to create clean patterns that are visually appealing.

This creates an environment where one feels refreshed after using the restroom or taking a shower because the room has taken into account both function and style without going too overboard.

Choose Simple Cabinets and Counters

When deciding on what cabinets and counters you should use for the minimalist look in your bathroom, choose cabinetry that has straight lines without a lot of bevels.

You could even choose cabinetry or medicine cabinets that have glass panels in the front! Just make sure that your bathroom products are organized behind the glass or it will defeat the purpose. Having a glass shower wall is a great way to make your room feel larger and more open!

You can bring natural elements into your bathroom as well by installing wood cabinets. Installing a floating vanity will bring a simple modern design to your bathroom that will also add interest to your design.

Incorporate Functionality in Your Bathroom Design

It’s easy to use what we already have to create minimalist storage for hair products, towels, and toiletries – but make sure that there is also functionality incorporated into your design plan so products can be easily accessed.

How do you decorate minimalist bathrooms?

I’ve seen a lot of really minimalist bathrooms that use all wood and either marble or glass for their vanity top. This creates a beautiful, earthy look in the bathroom without being too cluttered.

It’s important to remember that minimalist doesn’t mean without style! You can still have a great design with less clutter and by using natural materials like wood accents or stones as opposed to plastics or overly elaborate elements.

Stick with one type of metal

You can also elevate your bathroom design by choosing one type of metal and sticking to it. Metals such as copper, brass, and stainless steel have a cool vibe that can be mixed with glass or stone for an interesting look. Metal is versatile because it’s modern but not too harsh on the eyes which makes it great for a minimalist bathroom.

There are many different ways you can go about designing a minimalist room without feeling like there isn’t any style: try going back to basics using only what you need.

What can I use to decorate my bathroom?

You can find a million bathroom ideas on Pinterest, but it’s a bit more difficult to find good minimalist bathroom ideas. But designing a minimalist bathroom can be quite easy. You just need to be thoughtful about the things that you use and make sure that they also have a purpose.

Here are some minimalist bathroom ideas to help you decorate.

Using glass jars as a part of your minimalist bathroom will accomplish the task of form and function. You can use glass jars to store things like flossers, q-tips, and other bathroom supplies.

Shop Glass Bathroom Storage Jars:

Simple Baskets

Incorporating simple bins or baskets into your bathroom will not only help hide your bathroom products but will help to unify a minimal or small space.

Shop Minimalist Storage Baskets:

Unique Mirrors

Another way is by using an elegant vanity mirror with minimal detail on it for your walls. This will also help achieve that minimalist look you are trying for in your room without feeling cold and uninviting.

You can choose a beautiful mirror that has metal edging that will give a simple but elegant look to your minimalist bathroom walls.

Shop Simple Bathroom Mirrors:

Choose a Simple Shower Curtain

If your minimalist bathroom has a wildly colorful shower curtain, you aren’t staying true to the design. Choose a curtain with neutral colors and a very basic design. You could even consider using a white curtain!

Shower Design

If it’s in your budget, consider ditching the curtain for a higher-end shower. Creating a luxurious shower can really elevate the feeling of your bathroom. Installing a shower with a glass wall can elevate the feeling of your bathroom, too! You can also add shower seating! Shower design is an important part of a minimalist bathroom design. There are many small changes that you can implement with your minimalist bathroom designs.

Keep the Bathroom Wall Decor Minimal

Again, choose decor elements for your bathroom that are neutral. You could use metal frames on your walls with a big white mat to help streamline the design. Printing black and white family photos on your walls would be a great way to make your walls simple yet personalized. Create an accent wall that guests can enjoy looking at when they are using your bathroom. An accent wall can be the focal point of your bathroom. Just take care not to over-clutter your walls with unnecessary decor.

Simple plants that are out of the way

Plants and flowers really help to make a minimalist bathroom not feel cold and sterile. Choose greenery that is simple and easy to care for. You could also consider putting some plants on some simple floating shelves behind the toilet.

Install a Towel Rack

Using a towel rack will help to keep your towels looking clean, nice, and off the floor. If you normally just throw your towels onto the rack, watch a tutorial on how to fold them nicely to elevate your bathroom look.

How can I make my small bathroom look luxurious yet simple?

Use metal throughout your bathroom design.

My favorite interior design idea is to incorporate metal into your minimalist bathroom can really help it feel extra luxurious. Like I said earlier, choose a single type of metal and stick to it. You can incorporate that metal into the faucets, shower, mirror trim, wall frames, glass jar lids, and more!

Keep Your Bathroom Clean

Even though you are busy, it’s important to make sure to keep your bathroom clean if you are trying to achieve a luxurious feeling. Walking into a dirty bathroom never made anyone feel pampered. Make sure your bathroom walls are wiped down, too.

Consider What Textiles You’re Using

White towels that can still make you feel luxurious while keeping things simple enough so there’s no fussing over different types of towel sets on laundry day.

Update your Shower Head

Your old showerhead might be clogged with minerals from hard water. So look for an updated shower head for better water pressure . Consider installing a rain head, as well – it feels like getting caught in the rain!

Declutter Your Bathtub

Sometimes a bathtub can be a place that gathers dust and clutter. Only keep the things that are essential during bath time. You could even find a beautiful glass jar to put your bath salts in! Don’t get carried away with having a huge onslaught of bath products around the edges of your bathtub. If you have a lot of bath products, consider storing them somewhere else where possible.

Choose a Minimalist Bathroom Design You Love

Whether it’s a white bathroom, grey tiles, an accent wall, wood floors, ceramic tiles, a glass wall shower, marble counters, or whatever else you like, there are tons of options out there. Find what you love and enjoy how beautiful and relaxing your bathroom is!

House Tour: How to Fit a Minimalist Bathroom and Utility Into 49 Square Feet

February 26, 2024 by Dani Leave a Comment

minimalist bathroom house tour entrance to wash room

We are a family of five living in a total of 750 square feet for several years. Our perspective of what is “necessary” for a space is formed by our experience. How does a family of five function with their bathroom and laundry rooms being the same space? Well, I can’t speak for everyone, but I can tell you how OUR family does it… And what we love about it. There are downsides, too. I’ll be honest about that! But overall, I find myself very content with our minimalist (and relatively efficient!) bathroom and utility space.

Of course, for me, sharing our small-ish space with the other people in my family has become really normal. If you’ve poked around on the blog, you may have seen our small-ish Common Space . Or our efficient Kitchen Space . We’ve always lived in a small area, and in that sense, we’re just used to it. I grew up in a 1400 square foot house with three sisters, one brother, and my parents. I didn’t have my own bedroom until I was in my final year of university and rented my own little place. So you could say that I’ve been conditioned for life like this!

In this post, I’ll give you a little tour around our very average-to-small minimalist bathroom space, and how we make it work as a utility room as well. This is part of my House Tour series where I share about what our house looks like and how we function in the space we have. So if you enjoy this, feel free to check out my other posts about our living spaces.

Common Space Sitting Area for Minimalist Family of Five

Some Statistics on Our House:

650 square feet (60 square meters) + bonus bedroom building of about 100 square feet (10 square meters) = 750 square feet liveable space (70 square meters)
2 bedrooms/1 bathroom + detached bonus room (and a storage/wood shed)
Open Concept Living/Dining/Kitchen areas
Time lived here: 2 years
Ages of our kids: 6, 3, and 1
Bathroom/Laundry Room Dimensions: 8 ft 4 in x 6 ft 3 in (255cm x 190cm)

Organized Small House Tour Dining Area for Family of Five

Our minimalist bathroom and utility room are positioned just off the kitchen. The bathroom and two bedrooms are in a row on one side of the house, but the two bedrooms have a bit more space. I think the cottage was added on to by about 4 feet, judging from the flooring and how the ceiling looks in those rooms. As a result, the bathroom is the smallest room in the house. (Which is ironic because it does get probably the most use!).

Pros About Having a Small, Minimalist Bathroom and Utility Combo:

Small Spaces = Less Time Cleaning! Our bathroom is small, and we only have one of them. So my cleaning routine for before our Sabbath Day or before company comes is really quick and efficient. I can clean the toilet, sink, mirror, vacuum the corners, mop the floors, and change the towels in about 12 minutes flat. You would think this means my bathroom would always be clean. Unfortunately, it is not. However, it brings me peace of mind to know that I can get it clean really fast!
With small kids, having the toilet, shower, and washing machine all in one small space is efficient! My system for potty training is not the “train over one weekend and be done with it.” We tend to have a much more “take their diaper off and see how they go” kind of approach. And that means there are quite a few accidents. Which means we do a lot of laundry and a lot of rinsing toddlers off in the shower! Having the washing machine right by the shower definitely makes the laundry process easy!
We keep extra cosmetics and bathroom supplies to a minimum . Without having lots of drawers and storage space, almost everything I have by way of jewelry and make up and cleaning supplies are either out in the open or in one of my baskets or boxes on open shelves. Although I’m not a fan of visual clutter AT ALL (and the bathroom feels a bit cluttered to me currently), having everything out in the open does remind me to constant evaluate, “Am I using this? Do I really need this?”

Challenges About Having One Bathroom For Our Family:

1. getting out the door on time :.

I always try to have the kids use the toilet before we leave to go anywhere. Only having one (small) bathroom means that we have to be really on top of the schedule to actually get everyone cycled through! We regularly do NOT succeed at this and end up running late.

2. When multiple kids have to pee at once :

This happens more often than I ever thought possible! It’s like the kids all have the same bladder timer! when one of them needs to use the toilet, the other truly believes they need to use the toilet at that EXACT MOMENT too! My solution, if I’m concerned that the child waiting is going to actually have an accident on the floor, is to have them take off their bottom half clothing and jump in the shower to pee. I figure rinsing down the shower is better than cleaning an accident up off the floor!

3. Lots of Traffic = Lots of Mess (and Mysterious Urine Smells) :

I’ll be honest, I’m not always sure about the cleanliness standard of our toilet area. My almost-four-year-old isn’t tall enough to just sit down on the toilet seat, so I’m pretty sure she jumps up (since she doesn’t like to use the stool). The six-year-old is a bit more capable when it comes to getting onto the toilet, but it still seems like there are frequently moments that I walk into the bathroom and catch a whiff of… something unpleasant coming from the toilet region.

However, considering that the kids and I are mostly home all day, I’m currently third trimester pregnant with a baby doing jumping jacks on my bladder, and we’re potty training our third kiddo, our toilet gets a LOT of use! And specifically a lot of use by people who aren’t always the most concerned about careful accuracy. So, I just try to clean the toilet every other day or so, and mop the floor around it really well!

4. Bathroom Doorway becomes a Family Bottleneck :

Our bathroom doorway is the biggest bottle neck in our house. Washing your hands at the sink requires you to stand in the doorway of our bathroom. In addition, our dish washer is immediately outside the door of our bathroom. The dishwasher has a cupboard door that opens into the bathroom doorway. Usually we can squeeze past the cupboard door one at a time, but if someone is washing their hands at the sink, it definitely clogs up the flow of people! Additionally, with my pregnant belly at the moment, I am just barely able to get myself through the bathroom doorway when the dishwasher cupboard is open. So we definitely bottleneck at the bathroom door these days!

Entry to Our Minimalist Bathroom and Utility

Stepping into our bathroom, the sink is immediately on the left. I’ve hung some basket shelves on the wall just inside the door, above the sink vanity, to store hair care supplies for the girls (hairbrushes, comb, ponytail holders, headbands, etc). These are within their reach, so they can come get the supplies to brush their own hair during their morning chores time.

Someday I’d like to get a mirrored medicine cabinet for the wall above our sink. But for now, we have an oversized mirror someone gave us for free that helps to open up this space a lot.

Under the sink we have a little storage. The three drawers don’t really work (one is a faux drawer, and the other two have just paper on the bottom, which doesn’t hold anything heavy, so I don’t use them). But there is a cupboard one each side of the drawers, and I do use them to store stuff. In the left cupboard, I keep wash clothes, hand towels, and a few of my less-frequently-used hair-care items. In the right cupboard, we keep our kid’s beach towels and extra shampoo and conditioner.

Next to the Shower Zone

Between the sink and the shower, we have a heated towel rack. I keep my towel, Gabe’s towel, and our hand towel on the heated towel rack. Lazlo’s little toilet also hangs out on the floor here.

Above the heated towel rack are two shelves. The bottom shelf is our toothbrush station, deodorant station, and my skincare station.

We have two Oral B toothbrushes with four (color-coded) toothbrush heads for our family. If you haven’t yet transitioned to electric toothbrushes, I highly recommend it! I’m a very diligent tooth-brusher, and I’ve tried a lot of different manual toothbrushes, including some high end ones that our dentist recommended to us… And our electric toothbrushes DEFINITELY deliver on making my teeth feel clean. (We still brush Lazlo’s teeth with a baby manual toothbrush, but the girls have the same toothbrush heads as we do since they’re relatively small heads).

Open shelves in bathroom with plant, basket, and dental hygiene station

On that bottom shelf next to our teeth care box, I have a small makeup bag with my mascara, eye shadow, and eye liner, which is literally as complicated as my makeup routine gets these days! And then I have a small box with my face moisturizer, some extra hair claws and bobbi pins and pony tail holders. I also have perfume, a manicure set, dry shampoo, and leave in conditioner.

The top shelf has one of my plants (a Peace Lily), and a basket for Gabe to keep his odds and ends in. I think he has his allergy medicine, his shaving equipment, contact solution, and some of his own skin care and odds and ends like fingernail clippers in there. To be honest, I’m not really sure!

Shower and open shelves in small space family bathroom house tour

Shower Contents:

We have a bottle of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the shower, along with a bar of soap. I usually keep a comb in the shower so I can comb my hair and the girls’ hair. And we also have Animal Squigz . Our kids LOVE these things! They’re silicone suction cup bath toys that get a lot of use. (And the day I took pictures, the diaper pail was soaking in the shower!)

We also have a squeegee and mold. The mold is not on purpose, but I’m just keeping it real over here! Mold growth in NZ is no joke, and our shower has a shower dome on top of it (like a heavy duty plastic piece that keeps the moist air mostly contained inside the glass doors and walls of the shower. I love our shower dome because it really helps keep the humidity down in the entire bathroom, but it means that even with squeegeeing down the walls and door after every round of showers, unless we’re REALLY careful to keep our shower door open as much as possible, we get a lot of mold growing in the caulking.

If you are a mold expert reading this and really skilled at finding ways to keep mold growth down, please comment below and tell me what I should be doing! I usually clean with a water/vinegar solution every week, just spraying down the shower and scrubbing those caulked areas. I also have a natural all-purpose cleaner that I love the smell of and love how it cleans all the surfaces of the shower, but it doesn’t seem to keep the mold from growing all that much. We also recaulk the shower about every 6 months, cutting out the old stuff, bleaching the surfaces, and then recaulking… but that’s about the only way to hit “refresh” on the mold growth.

The Toilet Zone of Our Minimalist Bathroom and Utility:

Moving on to the toilet section of our minimalist bathroom and utility. Next to the shower is our toilet. I have over the door hooks on the shower so we have some hanging storage options for a shower cap and bathrooms outside of the shower.

On the toilet itself, we have a diaper sprayer that came with us on our last move. Since we cloth diaper our kiddos, it is so nice to have the convenience of a diaper sprayer. Next to the toilet I keep the bathroom garbage bin and the toilet bowl cleaner. And as close as possible without causing a tripping hazard, our diaper pail as well (with a nice, tight-fitting lid!).

On the shelf above and to the right of the toilet, we keep our spare towel supply, our extra toilet paper, another plant (a snake plant), and two plastic bins. One bin contains bandaids and medical tape and first aid ointments, and the other contains tampons and pads. I also have my stash of witch hazel, aloe, and peri-bottle ready to go for when postpartum season arrives!

The kids’ towels hang on hooks from the bottom of this shelf, and I also have a sitz bath ready to go for postpartum as well.

The Laundry Area of the Room:

We have a front-loading washing machine. Initially it was turned so that the door of the washing machine opened toward the sink. Which meant the bathroom door had to be shut in order to get anything in or out of the washing machine. There was a temporary wall built where the door now opens (toward the toilet), and structures to mount a front-opening dryer above the washing machine.

We asked our landlords if we could remove the wall and build shelves in that space instead. They were fine with it, so Gabe took down the wall and built our 3 open shelves above the washing machine space, foregoing the spot for a dryer inside our bathroom and utility room.

So now we have a washing machine that opens into the largest part of the room! Gabe also built a stand to go underneath the washing machine. I keep a basket for our dirty laundry under the machine itself. We don’t sort our laundry at all. We wash everything on a relatively cool wash with all colors, so having just one basket works for us.

On the shelves above the washing machine I have our cleaning supplies along with laundry detergent. I also have our extra paper towel supply, and a box with extra hand soap, extra toothbrush heads, and dental floss and bar soap. And up on the top shelf we have a box that contains my hair cutting supplies, my period panties supplies, our bleach and ant poison, and any other random chemicals that we need to make sure are out of the kids’ reach!

On the back of the door:

And, of course, since this is a small, minimalist bathroom and utility space that needs to serve a lot of purposes, we do have an over the door rack that we utilize to its fullest capacity, I think!

On the two shelves of the rack, I keep sunscreen and various hair gel, hair spray, mousse, and laundry bags for washing delicate items on one shelf. And on the second shelf I keep our medications: cough syrup, infant tylenol, ibuprofen, etc. Everything we don’t want the kids to have access to.

The hooks underneath the rack store a potty training toilet seat right now, and a stool.

Things We’ve Learned Having a Minimalist Bathroom and Utility Combo:

Our old apartment had a closet in the bathroom that served as a linen closet, cleaning supply storage, etc. We also had the washing machine in a different room. Moving into this house was an increase by 50% in the floor space. But our bathroom and utility situation definitely changed.

We’ve had to adjust a few things in our bathroom and utility room habits:

1. We try to avoid stocking up a lot of stuff in advance.

Yes, sometimes we run out of shampoo or soap or laundry detergent. But really, it’s not that hard to go get SOMETHING within 24 hours of when you realize you’re out. Or run up to our landlords and ask if we can borrow a squeeze of shampoo. And we try to just monitor our supply and only buy additional consumable products when we’re getting low. That way we’re not keeping a large inventory of stock.

2. We’ve embraced being rather open about our bathroom stuff and habits.

There isn’t a lot of hidden storage spaces in our bathroom, so we just have adopted an “if you’re in our home, you’re going to know who we really are, including our bathroom information” mindset. I know this is kind of a weird idea if you come from an appearance-upkeeping-type culture! But I’ve found it tremendously freeing and community building. Perhaps it’s just the circles I run in, but most of my friends don’t have their own private master bathroom and then a guest bathroom for guests to use. So I guess we’re all just used to a bit more familial intimacy in our friendships.

3. We’ve chosen to prioritize being relatively low maintenance with our stuff – particularly our laundry system.

DIY washing machine stand with laundry basket underneath

In general, Gabe and I don’t purchase super expensive clothing items. Almost everything I have in my closet is either 15+ years old. (Or I’ve gotten second hand via thrift stores or hand-me-downs). Gabe spends more-per-item on his things than I do. But he keeps a lesser amount of things in each category of clothing, and he buys with the intentionality of things that can be worn ruggedly. This helps us streamline our laundry process and generally not need as many specialized things around.

4. We’ve gotten creative with our space and put our dryer inside our woodshed.

This is also a bit more of a New Zealand thing, I think. We have a laundry line that I try to hang our clothes on when the weather is favorable. Our laundry line happens to be mostly under cover, so that means we CAN hang clothes a lot of the time. (It doesn’t mean we always DO – the dryer is definitely convenient!). But having the dryer out in the woodshed means we save space in our home. And we also have a little bit of a barrier that compels me to ask myself, “Could I just hang this load really quickly rather than tossing it in the machine?” which, ultimately, probably helps the longevity of our clothing and definitely helps cut down our energy costs!

Your Turn: What Do You Think of our Minimalist Bathroom and Utility?

Do you do anything really clever in your bathroom or utility that would be helpful for me to integrate into our system? Do you have a minimalist bathroom and utility space? Is there anything here that you found inspiring or beneficial? I’d love to know in the comments below! Drop me a line and share your wisdom – I’m always looking for ways I can improve!

(PS: We fold our laundry on our dining room table, kitchen counter, or on our bed, in case you’re wondering. That way there is space in the room to recruit the kids to help!!)

Curated, Comforting Cozy Minimal Home Tour

by Angie Kikstra

In this series, we will pull back the curtain on lovely homes within our community and give you all a Cozy Minimal Home Tour.

I want to showcase all the different types of homes within our community. Because I don’t feel only one home and decorating style is the poster child for the Cozy Minimalism movement.

I would love to inspire those of you that don’t have (or want) a social media influencer home .

Our community has a wide range of homey homes that feel good for the people that live there. Homes that tell a story.

I believe it’s important to show people homes that are curated, real-life homes. I feel like having a normal home should be normal.

These are those Cozy Minimal Home Stories

Skip To Content In Post

Imagine this, taking a quiet moment every morning with your coffee before the rest of your young family wakes up.

Calming and preparing yourself in silence before the day begins.

Gazing around your home, and instead of seeing an overwhelming mess or a bunch of to-do’s, you are simply reminded of moments, places and people you love. Your home fills you up instead of draining you.

You can exist in the quiet solitude of that morning coffee, loving your home, soaking in the fact that it perfectly reflects who you are as a family.

Your home beautifully tells your story – without the excess clutter.

In this article, you will meet Rose, a mom, wife, sister, daughter and friend that has curated a clutter-free home that is still warm and cozy.

Rose loves her alone time in the morning now, and it’s one of her favorite daily moments.

Where she can sit peacefully with her coffee and where she can get herself ready for everyone else before they wake up for the day.

This starkly contrasts how it was before she started her journey.

She would see a mess, which would feel overwhelming, but she felt she needed to find a system for her home and stuff.

Rose starts off our conversation by describing herself as a mother, but she also adds, “I’m a wife, sister, daughter, aunt and friend.” Rose has always felt like a “mother hen,” taking on a nurturing role with her siblings growing up (especially her brothers). Throughout our conversation, I kept hearing her repeat how a family was the most important.

Rose also loves frequenting thrift stores… and sources thrift store items before she looks at a retail store.

There is something beautiful about pieces she saved from the trash bin and renewed or the treasures she has found on her trips thrifting or uncovering at estate sales.

Her style is so beautifully curated that she will inspire you to create your own curated home.

Rose not only has a young family that she cares for, but she also runs an in-home family child care that brings three additional little ones during the work week. .

A functional home that is easy to keep tidy is necessary for this busy wife and mom.

"Home felt heavy when it was cluttered." Rose Catlett Tweet

Clutter in the home caused Rose to feel stressed.

But trying to clean up and tidy day in and day out was draining.

It felt overwhelming.

It felt heavy.

When she first started, she had a storage unit with excess stuff for her and her husband – when the first baby was on the way, she started to question the extra storage for just the two of them and began her journey to living with “just enough.”

Kids come with stuff… and when she started having babies, it became essential to make a calm space and create organization solutions for all of the items that came with the first baby.

She quickly learned that she didn’t need too much stuff for them.

They just wanted her and time spent connecting over the mundane or creating memories together like trips to the park or the library – no new toy will ever replace that time spent.

“I felt like I didn’t have time to deal with the stuff. I don’t want to feel overwhelmed anymore by stuff.” Rose Catlett Tweet

Before she started on her journey, she found that clutter was overwhelming there was zero joy in tidying up like there is now because there wasn’t a system. She had no time and energy to clean up the stuff but thrived with tidiness. “I felt like I didn’t have time to deal with the stuff. I don’t want ever to feel overwhelmed anymore by stuff” she tells me with conviction.

Things aren’t being shifted around from the counters to the table, they are being put away.

More importantly, she’s constantly reassessing if the items actually belong in their home and life anymore.

“It’s an ongoing process,” she says “It’s not something that you do once. It’s an evolution as your family grows and changes over time.”

“Motherhood is a lot. I didn’t want to be consumed by my house. I wanted the freedom to have more time and do the things that mattered.” Rose Catlett Tweet

Rose feels a lovely sense of balance with “comfort and clutter-free” in her home.

She doesn’t feel like she is super minimalistic, and she also doesn’t feel like she is a hoarder.

For Rose, pursuing a cozy minimal home isn’t about aesthetics or trying to be perfect. It’s about a home that supports her and her well-being.

She gets overwhelmed when her place is cluttered; it drains her and can affect her emotional and psychological well-being.

“A cluttered and disorganized home has caused stress and emotionally drained me. Having a cozy minimal home has freed up time, peace, and happiness.”

Creating a cozy minimal home has also made her less anxious overall. She also said toodle-loo to feeling constantly overwhelmed with mess and managing stuff.

Messes still do happen, and that is ok. It’s easier for her to do something about messes that inevitably pop up.

She loves looking at a mess and thinking, “I can clean that up by the time this song is done!”.

“My husband will sometimes come upstairs after he is done with work, and he’ll see me frazzled and ask if I’m ok, and I’ll say, “Things are a little chaotic, things are a little messy, I just need to catch up.”

That catch-up doesn’t feel overwhelming.

“Motherhood is a lot. I didn’t want to be consumed by my house. I wanted the freedom to have a little more time and do what mattered.”

It’s given her boys a nice clean, and safe space to be in, and she takes pride in that.

“We are the gatekeepers to what comes into our home.” she says, “I’ve learned to be ok with saying no to items.”

And if she is out shopping and finds something that she is considering for their home, she says, “I am already making a mental space in my house of where an item will go before I bring it in.”

Cultivating Contentment Even When Home Isn’t “Perfect”

Rose lives in a 2100 sq foot bi-level (roughly 1050 square feet on each floor).

Admittedly, this home style wasn’t her ideal choice when they were looking for a new home, but she has learned to love her home as it is now. She is at a point in her life where she wants to be content and grateful for what she has now, and she feels very blessed to have a home that they purchased.

One of her struggles at first was not feeling like her home was Instagram-worthy in her own mind, she would see beautiful homes created using brand-new store-bought items. It seemed like it was the opposite of her curated and unique style, using items that she sourced over time.

I think this is something many of us struggle with because we see so many of these perfectly styled show homes on social media. When we put our phone down and look around, we often feel like our home doesn’t live up to that standard.

She has since learned to find contentment and gratitude in what she owns and beauty in the home as it is now… not as she envisions it when it’s “perfect.”

Rose initially shared her home in our Cozy Minimalist Community Group on Facebook, which she was initially nervous about because she didn’t 100% think that her home was “share-worthy” as she put it.

She worried “that maybe it wasn’t truly a cozy minimalist home.”

Her decor and furniture have been curated through thrifting or gifting over time.

The comments were so much fun to watch roll in:

“Why does this look so clean and lovely yet inviting and warm?”

“This looks so homey and welcoming.”

“Wow! That is beautifully designed! Inspiring for sure!”

One of my hopes for you, reading this, is that our movement Cozy Minimalism will help you see how perfect your homes can be with your unique style and step outside of the trends. The same trends that their sole purpose is to keep you feeling like your home is inadequate, so you feel compelled to buy new things (that don’t make you happy, but they line the pockets of the people pushing the trends).

Rose describes her cozy minimal home as clean, simple, warm and inviting. She doesn’t want what she owns to get lost in the clutter. If it’s on display, it means it is special, and she only wants to highlight those items in her home.

Maintaining a Cozy Minimalist Home With Kids

Rose has a lot of systems in place to help her maintain their family home easily; most of them revolve around allowing her family to take responsibility for their own things in the main living areas.

She has a basket on the counter where she can put items left out on surfaces, and her husband can then put them away when he has time. This has been extra helpful since newspapers have been found on the counter. She doesn’t know if they have been read, so she places them in the basket, and her husband can read them or toss them. She simply reminds him to go through the basket every once and a while.

“We all live here, and I can’t do it all. I’m doing them a disservice if I do it all.” Rose Catlett Tweet

As a mom of three boys, she values teaching them how to keep house and contribute. “We all live here, and I can’t do it all. I’m doing them a disservice if I do it all.”

Rose knows that as her kids grow, things will change – and that’s ok. Nothing has to stay the same; their family home will grow and change with them. Especially now as the older two are beginning to come home with their stuff from school and sports, and they have begun collecting their own items.

She’s trying to teach them how to manage their stuff rather than managing it for them. In a sense, she is focusing on more empowerment.

She wants to respect their choices for their items rather than tell them they need to let go of things. She never wants to have to toss their stuff out and wants to teach them how to manage their things. This is a valuable step for her and many moms, teaching kids to manage their own stuff and take responsibility for their environment.

She also has a wonderful group of church ladies she can post her donations, who will pick them up right from her home. Making the outflow of her clutter a simple task has helped maintain this lifestyle.

The Heart of Home

The journey has been a process, and she feels like she is still in the process – even 10 years into the journey.

It was initially spurred by moving seven times within seven years… and when she moved, she wasn’t interested in moving all the stuff when it wasn’t needed or loved.

“It takes time to get to where you want to be with creating a home.”

Home isn’t something you can go out and buy at a store, it’s something that is curated over time.

We Don’t Judge How Others Live With More Stuff

One misconception with Cozy Minimalism she would love to change is that just because we are minimalists and just because we don’t have a lot of clutter doesn’t mean that we walk into other people’s homes and judge them.

She has fully embraced my concept “To Each Their Home” and understands that everyone lives their own way in their own home… no judgment from the outside.

Dealing With Guilt and Sentimental Items

Rose has an essential rule for her sentimental stuff: If it is valuable enough to keep, she will display it in her home.

“Either I deal with this stuff or someone else will… and I want to make that decision. I want to make that choice.”

Initially, she felt guilt for getting rid of things in her home that had been there for a long time.

Rose recounts one specific grouping that was especially hard for her, gifts from her grandma that had crocheted all these beautiful doll dresses every year for her birthday.

18 handmade doll dresses.

It was such a heartfelt gift that she loved when she was younger and was able to play with the dolls.

However, as she grew up, she stopped playing with the dolls, and they sat in a box and never saw the light of day.

She kept the most sentimental one and displayed it in her home.

“And besides that,” she says, “other things connect me to my Grandma in my home.”

There is a grouping of recipes that she has framed in her kitchen that reminds her of her great grandma and grandma every time she glances at them when she walks by.

Cozy Minimal Home Tour - Kitchen and Dining Room

According to Rose, this is one of her least favorite rooms within her home, but she has still infused some emotional connection points to help her love it more.

Having a clutter-free space also helped her enjoy it more.

Adding the handwritten recipe cards from her great-grandmother and grandma on display helps her emotionally connect with the space and reminds her of meals she enjoyed with those special women in her life.

The dining room is connected to the kitchen, so I am including it here.

The dining table was built by Rose’s father for her wedding, and she was able to spray paint the chairs black to help with design cohesion.

The artwork on the wall represents where they started their journey together as a family and also where they currently live.

Cozy Minimal Home Tour - Bathroom

This was the first room that Rose tackled for a renovation, and she didn’t think she would go that far with the renovation.

You can do little things in your home to make a significant impact.

It started with a change in a mirror, then the light, then the painted cabinet and then a willing husband that made her vision come to light with paint, the board and batten, and a new countertop.

I love how she pulled together the colors with a runner instead of those matchy-matchy fuzzy bathroom rugs (I’m not passing judgment because I own those too, lol)

By adding a functional decor grouping, she can make the tissue paper look pretty in a group with hand soap.

Functional decor groupings help you keep the essentials and everyday use items out but help elevate them to make them pretty.

I always say, “If it’s going to be out, it might as well be pretty!”

Adding the hamper beside the toilet also helps with adding texture to the room.

Cozy Minimal Home Tour - Guest Bedroom

The guest bedroom was a fun space for Rose because this is their first owned home and the first place they had a dedicated space for guests to come and stay if needed.

Everything in this room has been purchased second-hand or gifted except the mattress and box spring. Everything has a reason for being in this room; it has to have meaning.

The end table is a cigar cabinet from the early 1900s that she gifted her husband on their first wedding anniversary.

The trunk at the end of the bed was from an auction her husband attended. .

A cigar box on the ledge below the window was a gift her brother brought home while he spent time in Romania.

The wall art was a gift from Rose’s husband because she loves birds. Even the blankets were thrifted.

Cozy Minimal Home Tour - Boy’s Bedroom

She has the boys sleeping upstairs in a simple bedroom and their own toys in a dedicated play space downstairs.

Two Sock Monkeys sit on display. One was handmade by her grandmother and the other was gifted by her mother after her first son was born. She read in a decorating magazine that a larger rug would make the room feel bigger, so she sourced this rug from another room in their home, and it worked perfectly for the boy’s room. This is the beauty of having a whole home color plan; you can use items in many rooms of your home.

Her goal with the bedroom was to be soothing and very simplified. The boys have a playroom in the basement to collect their treasures and toys – leaving the bedroom as a place for sleeping and winding down.

The basket of books is helpful for an evening read before bed.

The two dressers were sourced from second-hand places, and she painted them to match the decor.

The artwork on the wall above both beds is also significant. With pictures of the boys above their beds and word art that helps remind them that family is everything.

Two chess boards have been added to the walls.

Cozy Minimal Home Tour - Kids Play Areas

So often, those of us with minimalist homes feel judged because they seem to think that we force our children into this lifestyle or make them live with nothing.

Rose has a special place for the boys downstairs that is their play area, and they have all of their collections and things they have started to accumulate.

This isn’t about forcing her boys into this lifestyle but more so guiding them to be mindful of what they own and why they own it.

Rose will gently nudge the older boys to look at what they own items and encourage them to let go once the items start getting unmanageable or overwhelming.

She is committed to teaching them how to manage their stuff mindfully rather than doing it for them.

The play space for her in-home family child care area is on the main floor of her bi-level, and she has beautifully styled this space with items she has purchased and curated over time.

Cozy Minimal Home Tour - Main Bedroom

Curating a sanctuary within your home is crucial. Having a place to end your day in a calm and relaxing way is essential. And waking up in a room that isn’t full of “to-do’s” is also calming. Rose beautifully demonstrates that a pretty room doesn’t have to be with a matching bedroom set or brand-new items.

The pieces in this room feel like they have been curated over lifetimes, and each of the items has a special meaning or story behind it. There is so much beauty in the imperfectness of a carefully curated home, every line, shape or scratch tells a story.

Rose says, “I’ve been known to go to Target too, but I don’t purchase all my items there. It doesn’t look like my home came out of a showroom.”

Taking it beyond the furniture basics, if you can create emotional connection points in your bedroom to remind you of your love for your spouse as Rose did, you will make your space feel like it’s your own.

More importantly, you will be reminded of the special bond between each other as you glance at the decor.

Above the bed in her and her husband’s bedroom is a framed note he wrote to her on the day he proposed.

It simply states, “Rose – Sweetheart, I love you so much. I love you forever.”

That note should have made you audibly say “Awwwww!”

What a beautiful reminder of that day, and their wedding day in the photo beside it, all serving to remind them of their love story.

I hope this cozy minimal home tour has given you some inspiration for your real-life home. It may have sparked you to look at your curated space as beautiful.

Take note if you’ve ever felt too sentimental to be a minimalist.

Being a minimalist doesn’t mean that you have to live out of a backpack.

You can release the excess and find your own level of enough and choose to keep the most sentimental items in your home. Incorporate those beautiful sentimental items into your home decor. Give them a place of honour in your home and showcase those precious memories, don’t stuff them in a box.cozy
