Small Bathroom Design Ideas

Summer is in full swing, with a few more days at the beach, road trips, and
warm weather adventures ahead. But if you’re anything like me, you probably
also have one or two summer projects looming over you.

I start the season with good intentions to tackle projects like organizing the
garage or cleaning out the backyard shed, but there’s one project we never
seem to get to before we’re back in the swing of school and work routines.
Meet my cottage bathroom:

Small and compact, this bathroom has been virtually untouched since we had
this cottage built nine years ago. While it’s not the prettiest, it’s usable
in its current state which is why it constantly falls to the bottom of the
priority list. I’d much rather be spending cottage time at the beach than
painting walls, wouldn’t you?

But I’m determined to finish this bathroom update before the leaves fall this
year. First task is to decide on the design elements and create a mood board
to guide us. My first stop? Wayfair Canada.

Wayfair Canada makes it
so easy to pull all the elements together, offering bathroom vanities,
lighting, mirrors, faucets, and everything else I need for a small bathroom
redesign.

And from August 21st through September 2nd, 2025, Wayfair Canada will be
hosting a
Labour Day Clearance sale with up to 70% off and fast-shipping on the
products you need for your home. It’s a great time to plan out your purchases
now and take advantage of the upcoming sales later.

My only challenge is narrowing down the style I want for this space.
Our cottage
sits in a resort in the country by a lake and is five minutes from a
provincial park. I could go in so many different directions with this
design.

I thought it would be fun to explore a few different styles before I decide.
Have a look and let me know which style you would pick!

Modern Country Bathroom Design

SHOP THIS LOOK:

If I had to sum up our current cottage style, it would be Modern Country – a
balanced mix of florals and plaids, wicker and wood, all in a palette that
leans a little masculine. This bathroom with a mix of deep greens, slate grey,
and crisp white would fit right in.

The result is a space that feels current and refined, yet still familiar –
like a fresh take on something you’ve always loved.

Cottage Charm Bathroom Design

SHOP THIS LOOK:

This design embraces the ever-popular English cottage style – a blend of
small, thoughtful details that feel feminine, traditional, and just a touch
whimsical.

Simple Rustic Bathroom Style

SHOP THIS LOOK:

At the heart of the space, a wire-brushed oak vanity steals the show. It’s natural grain adds warmth and depth, while the
integrated feet and flat-front drawers keep the silhouette clean and minimal.

Coastal Chic Bathroom Design Ideas

Lastly, I could draw inspiration from our lake-side setting and design a
coastal chic bathroom that feels like a deep exhale. A low-contrast palette of
whites, creams, and soft grey-greens creates instant serenity.

From coastal chic to rustic modern to English cottage charm, I’m spoiled
for choice, and
Wayfair Canada makes it so easy to
pull each look together.

This post is sponsored by Wayfair Canada, but as
always, I only share products and ideas I truly love and would use in my own
home. Now tell me – which style would you choose for our cottage bathroom?
