Small Bathroom Tips

When floor space is limited consider wall hung toilets and basin units to help maximise the floor space. In addition to this you could consider floating units. Keeping the floor space open helps create an illusion the bathroom Is bigger.

A lot of furniture brands offer a slimline/ small bathroom furniture range. This is a great option to allow for storage in a smaller bathroom without taking up too much space.

In a smaller bathroom getting the most out of storage is important, therefore consider the available spaces where units can go. For example,  the space above the toilet- this space often goes to waste when it can offer you room for a cabinet above.

There are so many options when it comes to tiling and a good thing to remember is that the more grout lines the smaller the bathroom will feel. Look at bigger tiles and lighter grout colours to reduce the line visibility.

Lighting is essential to create the illusion of a bigger room with a small space. To help increase lighting you could look at maximising your mirror to allow the light to bounce off. Another clever option with mirrors to help maximise your bathroom space, is a recessed mirror cabinet which looks flat to the wall. This offers a great space saving storage solution.

With a smaller space the colour scheme is an important factor. Dark colours will make the room feel smaller, where as light, neutral, bright colours will help make the space feel bigger.

When looking at the shower units you could look at clear shower enclosures such as a frameless style to help create a bigger space illusion. You could also replace shower curtains with clear shower screens when your showering area is shared with the bath- this allows more light in.
