Other ideal space-saving tips for small bathrooms
Apart from buying compact basins, several approaches can be followed to give the room a spacious feel. It’s all in the layout. Below are some tips to help you get the most out of a small space:
- Buy a shower only or combination unit instead of having the cubicle and bath separate.
- Build shelving into open areas between fixtures, or inside walls where possible.
- Choose a mirror with a cupboard behind it for storing toothbrushes, medicine or toiletries.
- Use the door for placing hooks where towels can be hung.
- Get waterproof shelving installed in the shower for shampoo and other washing supplies.
An excellent option on a shower that’s ideal for small bathrooms is a corner unit, as it takes up less floor area and doesn’t feature sharp ends that can cause injury in a cramped space. See our gorgeous glass corner unit if you’re looking for an inexpensive shower cubicle.
Four Finishing touches for completing the picture
After deciding on the shower cubicle, toilet and basins, there’s still work to do before the masterpiece is complete. Here’s how you can make a tight space look bigger:
Don’t overdo the décor – Too many patterns and colours can easily mimic the feeling of clutter and make people feel claustrophobic. Choose one part to be the unique focal point, for example, an accent wall behind the basin. This way you get to showcase your talent without overwhelming your guests.
Forget the cosy rugs – In a large bathroom, it makes sense to have foot rugs at the basin, toilet, shower and bath. However, if there isn’t a lot of floor space, rugs can quickly make the place look tacky instead of comfortable. These can also make it difficult to clean, and mini rooms already require more regular cleaning than large ones. Avoid placing unnecessary items in the room and rather spend money on picking chic essential pieces.
Install a sky-light – The more natural light you let in, the less it will feel like the space is tiny. Consider big windows or a nature wall-vinyl if you can’t break out the walls. Natural touches create the feeling of a fresh and relaxing environment. A hanging plant, bamboo basket or even a pebbled floor can add to the earthy ambience. Most people associate nature with freedom and open space. You can also go for hints of blue and seashells for a similar effect, if the ocean is more your style.
Create inserts for storage areas – As with our previously mentioned basins, our small wall-mounted basins also come equipped with cupboards at the bottom, as well as an extra behind-mirror one. To maximise these spaces, you can either buy or make your own insert for toiletries and washing essentials. It’s easier for household members to remember where to put items after they’ve been used if the cupboards are organised. Proper organisation reduces the risk of a room becoming untidy with brushes and vanity products.
