Bold Small Bathroom — Charcoal and Smoked Oak
Under 40 square feet, every decision is about the fall, the door swing and where the eye lands. Large-format tile and a wall-hung vanity do the heavy lifting. High contrast, confident mass, a single saturated move per room. Dark joinery held against light stone.

Bathroom questions
What fall is needed for the shower floor?
1:60 to 1:80 toward the drain across the wet zone. Any flatter and water sits; any steeper and the floor feels wrong underfoot. The waterproof membrane must turn up the wall 1,800mm in the shower and 150mm elsewhere.
Should I separate the wet and dry areas?
In anything above about 6×8 feet, yes. A glass screen or a low kerb keeps the vanity zone dry, which halves the cleaning and protects the joinery.
Are large-format tiles a good idea in a small bathroom?
Yes — fewer grout lines makes a small room read larger and cuts the maintenance. The constraint is the fall: use large format on walls and a smaller mosaic or a linear drain in the shower tray.
What is the right height for a wall-hung vanity?
800–850mm to the counter top, with at least 200mm of clear floor beneath so the room can be mopped through.
How do I stop mirrors fogging?
A demister pad behind the mirror, or place the mirror out of the direct steam path and specify an exhaust rated for ten air changes an hour.
