Small Space, Big Impact: Bathroom Design Tips for Toronto Condos

Toronto condo bathrooms are notoriously compact. But with the right design choices, even a 5x8 bathroom can feel spacious and luxurious.

1. Go Light and Bright

Use large-format tiles (24x24 or larger) to reduce grout lines

Choose light colours that reflect light

Install proper vanity lighting at face height

Wall-mounted vanities and toilets create visual floor space. This single change can make a bathroom feel 30% larger.

A frameless glass shower panel instantly modernizes and opens up the space. Skip the shower curtain — it visually divides the room.

Recessed medicine cabinet (gain 4" of depth)

Shower niche instead of hanging caddy

Over-toilet shelving or cabinet

Vanity with drawers, not doors

In a small space, one bold choice makes all the difference:

A patterned floor tile

A unique vessel sink

A dramatic mirror shape

Matte black fixtures

The key is picking ONE statement element and keeping everything else simple.
