Bathroom design for a holiday home
The bathroom in a holiday home is often smaller than the one at home – but that does not make it any less important. On the contrary, it is a room that needs to work smoothly for both family and guests, while also fitting into the relaxed atmosphere of the holiday home. In this blog post, you’ll find inspiration for designing a bathroom in your holiday home where functionality, durability and cosiness go hand in hand – whether you use the holiday home all year round or only during selected periods.

The holiday home bathroom – a room for both practical use and cosiness
In a holiday home, we often have different requirements for the bathroom than we do at home. It needs to be easy to use, easy to maintain – and at the same time fit into a more informal and relaxed setting.
It is all about creating a room that can handle a bit of everything: wet towels, sandy feet and different users. At the same time, the bathroom should feel pleasant and inviting, so it becomes a natural part of the holiday home’s cosy atmosphere.
When practicality and atmosphere are balanced in the right way, you get a bathroom that works – without compromising the feeling of leisure.
Choose furniture and materials that can withstand changing seasons
The bathroom in a holiday home needs to cope with temperature changes, high humidity and periods without daily use. That’s why it is important to choose furniture and materials that are both robust and easy to maintain.
Surfaces that are easy to clean and high-quality furniture provide peace of mind in everyday use – even when the holiday home is left empty for periods of time. At the same time, calm colours and timeless materials can help you create a bathroom that stays beautiful year after year.
Our furniture is designed to a high standard of quality with a focus on durability. It has been developed to withstand the high humidity of the bathroom and is therefore also particularly well suited for use in holiday homes.
Mirrors and lighting that create space and warmth in smaller rooms
Many holiday home bathrooms are compact, and here mirrors and lighting can make a big difference. A mirror reflects both light and its surroundings and can make the room feel larger and more open.
Combine mirrors with integrated lighting or wall lamps by the mirror to create functional task lighting alongside a more atmospheric light. Warm and pleasant lighting contributes to the relaxed holiday home atmosphere – even on chilly mornings.
Smart storage solutions when space is limited
When space is limited, it is especially important to think in terms of functional storage solutions. Tall cabinets, wall cabinets or furniture with spacious drawers can help keep things organised – even when many people share the bathroom.
Good storage makes it easier to keep the bathroom tidy and manageable and creates a calmer everyday experience. At the same time, you can make the most of the available space without making the room feel heavy or overcrowded.
Match shower – flexible shower solutions for small rooms
In many holiday homes, the bathroom is compact, making it important to choose solutions that make the best possible use of the space. With Match shower, you get shower doors that can be folded in when not in use, freeing up floor space and making the room feel more open.
This flexible solution makes Match shower particularly suitable for holiday homes, where the bathroom is often used by several people and the space needs to function optimally in everyday life. When the doors are folded in, it becomes easier to move around the bathroom, and the room feels more airy.
At the same time, Match shower combines functionality with a simple and stylish look that fits naturally into the relaxed atmosphere of the holiday home. A solution that makes everyday life easier – without compromising on design.
When is the best time to renovate the bathroom in your holiday home?
Planning is an important part of renovating a holiday home bathroom. Many people choose to renovate outside the high season, when there is more time – and often also a better chance of finding tradespeople.
By considering the year-round use of the holiday home when planning the renovation, you can create solutions that work throughout the year. This gives you the opportunity to make well-considered choices and ensure that the bathroom suits both your needs and the framework of the holiday home.
How to combine functionality with a holiday home atmosphere
A bathroom in a holiday home can be simpler than the one at home – but that does not mean it has to feel impersonal. Nature-inspired colours, calm surfaces and selected details can give the room warmth and character.
Small choices such as handles, mirrors or lighting help emphasise the holiday home atmosphere while keeping functionality at its best. When the overall design has been carefully considered, you get a bathroom that fits naturally into holiday home life.
And of course, it is wonderful to decorate the bathroom with finds from nature: interesting stones, beautiful shells or a bunch of reeds from the beach. Small details that help emphasise the style and create just the right holiday home atmosphere.
