Design Ideas for Small Bathrooms
Your bathroom is one of the most highly used rooms in your home and it’s often where you’ll be first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Many of us dream of a spacious bathroom complete with a freestanding bath and walk-in shower, but the reality is a little different.
A small bathroom is often the price you pay when living in a crowded city or flat, but these compact spaces can be just as stylish. If you’re thinking about giving your bathroom a makeover and want to make the most of the space, read on for our favourite design ideas for small bathrooms.
Open-plan
If your bathroom is particularly small or an awkward shape, why not open up the space completely by converting it into a wetroom? A wetroom is completely waterproof and open plan, allowing you to make the most of every inch. These large, open shower spaces also add a touch of luxury to homes and they’re very easy to maintain.
Streamlined tiles
Create the illusion of more space by using the same tiles for walls and flooring. Marble is particularly effective and you can choose marble print tiles if the solid material is too expensive. Graphic black and white tiles work well too for a more modern, contemporary look.
Clever storage
It’s easy for small bathrooms to feel cluttered, so invest in clever storage for your toiletries. Recessed shelves are a great option for an open shower or wet room as they keep your shower corners clutter free. Make the most of wall mounted storage cabinets and shelves to free up floor space and don’t be afraid to add shelving in awkward corners.
Think to scale
Large sinks and cabinets can quickly overwhelm a small bathroom but there are smaller pieces available which are just as practical and stylish. You could also combine units (for example a sink and a storage cupboard) to save space. Another option is made to measure fittings and fixtures, for example a slightly smaller bath or two in one bath and shower.
