1. Monochromatic Aqua Blue

If you want to mimic the serene vibes of the deep blue seas, explore an aquatic blue theme. Get your entire bathroom covered in aqua-blue tiles.

Then, to enhance the elegance of your style, place a copper bathtub as a statement piece for the room.

2. Go Bright With Yellow

If you love bright themes, then this option is ideal for you.

First, have your floor tiles in mustard yellow, and the ceiling and top part of the walls pure white.

Then, cover the rest of the bathroom walls in buff tiles with white patterns.

If you have a sink or vanity, install beige tiles for a summer-style finish.

3. Spring Freshness

Perhaps you love spring and want to keep the season going a little longer.

The trick is to playfully incorporate mint green and pastel pink.

Paint the walls pink and white and the bathtub pink and green.

Then, get shower curtains that blend these three colors and possibly a fun floor mat with funny quotes to add personality.

4. Dark and Woody Tones for Mystery

For a more masculine and sophisticated style, consider this darker theme that primarily comprises woody accents.

If you have a walk-in shower, you could have the shower area tiles in ash brown.

Then, have the rest of the bathroom walls covered in woody brown tiles or slabs for an elegant finish.

5. Gallery Wall Theme

The living room area is not the only space to hang pictures.

You could bring this to your bathroom by picking a series of framed pictures you love or those that suit the style you try to convey and then place them on the bathroom walls.

To spice things up, you could install a decorated wallpaper or fix other artsy items on the walls.

6. Vintage Pink

Get a wallpaper with vintage drawings, like animals, against a light pink backdrop.

To accelerate the style, you could find a creative way to incorporate pink bricks with a darker shade of pink.

For instance, this could fit well if you have a walk-in shower as you would place the bricks inside.

7. Have Fun with Peach

Another vibrant style option would be to paint the top half of your bathroom walls peach and the lower half should be white to enhance brightness.

Then, paint the bathroom storage units white and get matching floor mats with hints of white and peach or soft orange.

You could also add peach towels on the towel racks.

8. Go Neutral

If you love elegance, then going for understated colors would suit you.

You could have one side of your bathroom with bricked walls in ash gray color and the other side tiled and in tan or beige colors.

To enhance your style’s versatility, place gold shower heads or faucets.

9. Zoo Theme

If you have kids, then they would love this theme.

Get a wallpaper with animal prints and cover part of your bathroom walls and the ceilings too, if you desire.

Then place dark gray floor tiles for a more elegant style.

Then, you could cover the rest of the wall in blue palettes.

10. Floral Monochrome

Cover your entire bathroom walls and ceiling using floral wallpaper.

To complement the theme, spice up the style by placing frames on the wall with floral images.

If you have enough space, add a chair with a floral covering.

11. Earthy Tones

Consider keeping it simple with earthy tones by having the walls on one side covered in tan tiles.

Then, the other wall could have stripe carvings and be painted beige.

Then, place a potted plant to add some green for style and an enhanced feel of nature.

12. Partial Floral

Rather than have a monochromatic floral theme, you could have a partial one.

Get a wallpaper with tulip images to cover half the walls and paint the ceiling cream.

For the lower half of the walls, paint them in a darker shade that matches the tulip petals on the wallpaper, and do this for the bathtub as well.

13. Botanical Monochrome

If you love nature and monochromes, you could combine these by getting a wallpaper with leaves and branches imprinted on it.

Then, cover the walls entirely with this wallpaper.

You could break the monotony by placing brown brick-patterned floor tiles and brown or gold faucets and plant pots to complement the botanical wallpaper.

14. A Blend of White and Blue

For this theme, paint your walls light blue.

Then, get wall tiles with simple patterns combining both white and blue colors.

The floor tiles can also be patterned but with different patterns, and you could place white or blue towels on hooks or racks.

15. Bohemian/Hippie Theme

True to Bohemian culture, you could have your bathroom a bit crowded but with multiple elements of color.

Get a bathtub with Boho-inspired attention-grabbing patterns on its exterior and mats to hang on your walls.

Add some potted plants, strategically placed candles, and brightly colored walls for a more vibrant style.

16. Jungle Theme

If you are a plant enthusiast, then your style is likely one of natural ambiance.

That said, you would want to bring the outdoors into your bathroom by covering your bathroom space in leafy branches that hang from wall to wall.

Then, add a bit of woody accents for an earthy tone, like candlesticks or trays.

17. Warm and Sunny

You could opt for warmth and cheerfulness in your bathroom by blending soft orange, cream-white, and golden yellow colors.

Get cream floor, wall, and bathtub tiles, and have the floor mats in soft orange or brown colors.

Also, include golden yellow items, like racks, towels, and flower pots, and some potted plants for freshness.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I choose a theme for a small bathroom?

Start by considering the mood you want to create—calm and relaxing, bold and playful, or sophisticated and chic?

Once you have that vision, think about your favorite color palettes, patterns, and design elements.

Themes like coastal, rustic, modern, or even boho can guide your choices.

Keep it simple by focusing on a few key pieces that tie the theme together without overwhelming the space.

2. What are the best color schemes for small bathrooms?

Lighter colors like soft whites, pastels, and neutral shades are ideal for small bathrooms as they open up the space and reflect light.

If you want something more vibrant, go for a two-tone scheme with one feature color (like navy or emerald) paired with white or light grey.

You can also incorporate patterns in subtle ways to keep the space dynamic without shrinking it.

3. How can I make a small bathroom feel luxurious with a theme?

Luxury is all about the details. Choose a theme that incorporates high-end materials or finishes—like marble accents for a spa-like feel or gold fixtures for a glamorous touch.

You can also add plush towels, chic accessories like a statement mirror or crystal lighting, and rich textures through rugs or curtains.

The key is to strike a balance between your theme and those luxe details that elevate the entire room.

4. What small bathroom themes work well in apartments or rental homes?

Look for themes that can be achieved with non-permanent elements.

For example, a tropical or bohemian theme can be brought to life with removable peel-and-stick wallpaper, colorful rugs, and lush plants.

Modern or minimalist themes can rely on sleek, movable furniture and art prints.

This allows you to personalize your bathroom without making structural changes, perfect for rentals.

5. Can I mix and match different themes in my small bathroom?

Absolutely! Mixing themes is a fun way to create a personalized look.

Just make sure you have a unifying element, like a consistent color palette or similar textures, to avoid visual chaos.

For example, blend rustic elements with a modern aesthetic by pairing wood accents with sleek, clean-lined fixtures.

As long as you stay intentional with your choices, mixing themes can lead to a unique and stylish result.
