10 Gorgeous Minimal Bathrooms
Pared-down, fuss-free and perfectly put together, these brilliant bathrooms do more with less
A minimal style can work in any room in the house, including the bathroom. Sticking to a single colour scheme or using just one key material will immediately trim out a fussy feel and steer a space towards a more pared-down aesthetic. These bathrooms have all taken this approach, but look anything but sterile or predictable. Minimal can mean so much more than white, as these spaces illustrate.

Try the warmly minimal approach
Choose interesting materials that will add a little depth to your minimal bathroom without making it feel busy. A marble-effect tiled floor, the plant and the wooden stool soften this otherwise all-white scheme, yet don’t disrupt the sleek overall effect.

Try adding texture
If you’re opting for pure white, try working in a pinch of texture. This snowy scheme is steered away from feeling sterile thanks to the hexagonal mosaic tiles on the wall.
They would also work well on a bathroom floor, where they’d feel pleasant under bare feet. This touch of texture is just enough to give a super-simple scheme interest and individuality.

Choose a single shade
Of course, white throughout is not the only recipe for a minimal-feeling bathroom, but opting for one key shade is a good way to achieve the look. Here, that shade is deep grey, with different floor and wall tiles used to create visual interest without deviating from the colour scheme.

Work with the room’s best features
The picture window in this bathroom offers a vast view over London in the UK, so it would be distracting if the space were kitted out with bright colours or ornate fixtures. In cases like this, it’s much better to go minimal and let the view take centre stage.

Get snowed in
Sticking to pure white, that most minimal of shades, is a sure-fire way to achieve a minimalist bathroom. An additional bonus to this approach is that white tiles and fittings are widely available and more affordable than patterned tiles or baths and basins made from exotic materials.

Use a single tile design throughout
In addition to choosing a single shade, sticking to a single tile style for all the walls and flooring will keep the look crisp and simple. A large, deep-grey tile is the main component of this bathroom, broken up with a warm wooden shower tray and simple white bath.

Max space and light
A minimal scheme works beautifully in a small-space bathroom. Choose a discreet, contemporary white suite and try adding mirrors to help to boost light and increase the feeling of space. Mirrors also create interesting reflections that baffle the eye, helping the fixtures to melt into the walls.

Avoid a fuss
This minimal bathroom keeps the look calm and fresh by rocking a white and grey scheme and keeping all those essential items, such as taps and shower heads, simple. The bath taps are wall-mounted, with no visible pipework, and the shower head is tucked discreetly on the enclosure’s internal wall, so it’s not particularly visible from the rest of the room.

Colour-block beautifully
Minimal can be bright too! This gorgeous bathroom features orange and green, but look beyond these bold shades, and you see that the essential design is super-simple.
Single sheets of coloured glass create the shower surround, while a freestanding basin and wall-mounted tap keep the space looking neat and spare without it feeling cold.
