Bathrooms are many people's favourite place in their home – a place to unwind in a hot bath after a long day, have an invigorating shower in the morning or get freshened up before a big night out. But what happens if your bathroom is cramped and full of clutter? Follow this guide to creating a space-smart bathroom and enjoy the difference:
Add a walk-in shower to your bathroom
Installing a walk-in shower into small bathrooms is an essential step to saving space. Not only will you speed up your mornings and save water, but you will find yourself with much more room. If you think you'll miss the touch of luxury that a bath gives you, why not splash out on a modern shower with bodyjets and a power shower. You'll wonder why you didn't make the change sooner!
Get savvy with your bathroom storage
Nothing makes a small bathroom look smaller than cluttered shelves or beauty products scattered around the sink. Create the illusion of space by fitting some sleek bathroom drawer or cupboard units, and keeping your mess out of sight. Some new designs can even be fitted behind the toilet cistern to maximise the space.
Add some colour to your bathroom
It's tempting to paint small bathrooms in white to give them a more spacious feel, but the result can be too cold and clinical. Brighten up your bathroom with coloured borders or tiles, to liven it up whilst still maintaining the illusion of space.
Use the Corners in your Bathroom
A good trick to utilizing space in small bathrooms is to fit a curved corner shower. The shower tray will come in a triangular wedge shape to fit snugly into the corner, with a curved outer edge. The shower door will also curve to give your bathroom a modern feel and add more space inside the shower. Bathroom units can also be designed and fitted for the corners to use the space well.
Choose small bathroom fittings
Some manufacturers now sell designs specially created with the small bathroom in mind. These sink, shower, toilet and furniture units are innovative designs that intelligently use the space without compromising on style or quality. Bathrooms that a re short on space will definitely benefit from these ranges, which can also help set a minimalist design tone for the rest of the room.
Fit a towel rack in your bathroom
Towels consume a lot of space if you keep them stored in a cupboard, so fix a towel rail to the wall or hooks to the back of the door and hang them up instead of folding them away. If you really want to splash out, invest in a heated towel which will not only create more space in tiny bathrooms, but add a touch of luxury and comfort.
