Looking for unique small modern bathroom ideas? I’ve compiled a list of some of 70 trends, designs and hacks for redecorating your bathroom space below. Whether you’re renovating on a budget or just looking to spruce things up, I might just be able to help.

I grew up with a small bathroom, and everywhere I’ve lived has featured a small bathroom, so I’m no stranger to the tolls of decorating these types of spaces. In an ideal world (and with an unlimited budget) I’d have a huge bathroom featuring one of those Insignia Steam Shower Enclosures, a claw tub bath, and a luxury (yet tasteful) chandelier. But I digress…
