    Small bathroom ideas

    Most of us have had to deal with a small bathroom in our homes at some point. If you are a Mumbaikar like me, or stay in any big, crowded metro, your bathroom probably ends where it begins.

    Most of us have seen the paint ad which says, “Har ghar kuchh kehta hai“. (Every home has a story to tell). Wall decor is the most emphatic narrator of that story.

From laundry-day chaos to a room that feels like it belongs to a girl. 💕

* The wardrobe gets a complete rethink, with a mix of crisp white shutters and warm wood drawers
* Plenty of drawer storage keeps the everyday clutter out of sight
* Soft pink and cream replace the heavy blue wall with a much lighter mood
* A scalloped border adds a playful little detail
* And the whole room feels brighter, softer and much more her

One room, two jobs — and now it actually looks the part.

* The wardrobe becomes a more considered piece, with a warm wood finish and wicker shutters
* A proper work zone fits neatly into the layout
* The sofa-cum-bed turns the room into a comfortable guest space when needed
* And the gallery wall adds a bit of personality — because a study doesn’t have to look like an office

Study by day. Guest room when required. Much more fun all round.

From “just a bedroom” to a room with a point of view.

* A botanical wallpaper brings the whole wall to life
* A soft, upholstered bed adds a calmer layer
* Rattan bedside tables bring in warmth and texture
* Terracotta and sage accents pick up colours from the wallpaper

And suddenly, the room feels much more considered — without feeling overdone
Same room. Very different mood.

    Wardrobes have commitment issues. 😄 Paint, veneer Wardrobes have commitment issues. 😄

Paint, veneer, glass, cane, fluted finishes, fabric-look shutters… there are quite a few ways to dress up a wardrobe.

We’ve rounded up some of our favourites — because sometimes the wardrobe deserves a little more than “make it white.”

These are our favourites. Which one is yours?

• Floor-to-ceiling wardrobes made every inch work harder.
• Soft sage, blush and ivory replaced the visual noise of mismatched pieces.
• Layered textiles and gentle patterns added warmth without overwhelming the room.
• A cosy reading chair turned an unused corner into the perfect spot to unwind.

All we did was give this room a little more purpose—and a lot more personality!

Some living rooms are designed for entertaining.

This one is designed for lingering.

• A warm, earthy palette that feels cosy without becoming dark.
• The window seat naturally draws your eye outdoors—and doubles up as the favourite spot in the house.
• Plants soften every corner and bring a little life indoors.
• Pattern is used in small doses, letting the rug quietly become the room’s focal point.

Nothing shouts for attention, yet everything works together to create a space that’s easy to come home to.

The biggest change wasn’t adding more.
It was choosing pieces that worked together.

• A bespoke TV unit brought in storage and warmth.
• Soft blush tones balanced the rich walnut finishes.
• Plants, textiles and layered textures made the room feel welcoming.
• Every piece now has a purpose—and the clutter finally has a home.

Sometimes all a room needs isn’t more square footage... just a better plan.
