Design Tips for Small Bathrooms

Eight Big Design Tips for Small Bathrooms

If you have a bathroom that is smaller than usual, it can be difficult to make everything you need fit into the space comfortably. It must be possible to move around the bathroom without banging into things, and you also want to be able to enjoy the full functionality of the space without feeling constrained and cramped. Luckily, we have some great ideas and design tips for small bathrooms that you can use to create a bathroom space that not only looks good, but is comfortable to use as well. Here are a few to consider:

 

  1. Choose Your Sink Well: The most practical option in a small bathroom is to put the sink in the corner. Corner spaces can be difficult to use well, and using a corner sink can be a really way to use the space. Try to place it away from the shower, so that the shower door does not bang against it while opening and closing. Rather place it closer to the toilet so that there is more space for the shower door and you can get in and out with ease.

 

  1. Use a Suitable Shower Door: It is important to make practical choices when it comes to choosing your shower door. A door that opens outwards can often create difficulties. Rather choose a shower door that slides open to save space. You can also choose to use a shower curtain instead. If you do have a bath and shower combination, a shower curtain is by far the best option to use, but you can also use a glass panel to keep water from splashing out.

 

  1. Select the Right Vanity: A floating vanity does not use any floor space and can make the bathroom look bigger. We recommend that you install the vanity above the sink or any other place against a wall where there is no risk of banging your head on it. If you do choose a corner sink, you can install the vanity underneath it, as the corner space is already being used. If you install a vanity in any other place in the bathroom, ensure that the corners are round so that you do not injure yourself or bruise a hip. You can also place a floating vanity above the toilet, or just extend the counter over the toilet in order to provide a shelf for your toiletries.

 

  1. Use Patterns and Colours Wisely: Using a large pattern or wide lines can make the space look visually bigger and the bathroom will feel larger. When it comes to colour, white is your best option because it is clean and bright. It is also a practical choice, as you can easily change the colour scheme by just replacing the soft furnishings, such as towels and bathmats.

 

  1. Install Mirrors: Installing a full-length mirror can create the illusion of having a lot more space, and provide a better view. One of the best design tips for small bathrooms is to install a full-length mirror on the one wall of the shower that faces the length of the bathroom.

 

  1. Put the Towel Rail on The Door: If you need space, it can be a practical option to mount your towel bar to the back of the door. If the bathroom is airy and has good airflow, you can also use towel hooks. However, if the bathroom is likely to remain damp, a towel hook may not be the best option, as it does not allow the towel to hang straight, which can make it take a long time to dry and possibly start to smell.

 

  1. Floating Shelves: Install floating shelves on which you can store your extra towels, toiletries, and toilet paper. If you have children, placing them high enough is also a practical option for keeping little fingers away from potentially harmful cleaning products.

 

  1. Wall-Mounted Taps: Another one of the best design tips for small bathrooms is to choose a smaller sink and mount the taps on the wall instead of a sink that has to make space to contain the taps. This frees up some crucial space in the bathroom.

Bathroom Shower Units

Choosing the Right Bathroom Shower Units for Your Bathroom

It can be more important than you realise to make the right choice when it comes to bathroom shower units. Not only does it have to look good, but it also has to provide a comfortable shower space that is easy to clean and use. This is especially important in smaller bathrooms where space is limited, or bathrooms that are used by a number of people. The amount of available space in the bathroom will ultimately dictate which type of bathroom shower units you choose in order to remain practical, but still stick to the overall aesthetic.

The size and shape of bathroom shower units re important factors to consider. Perhaps you would like a particular shape of shower, but if the space does not allow for it, you will have to make a more practical choice. There are various shapes and sizes of bathroom shower units on the market. The type of shower door can also affect the way the shower operates within the available space. Shower units are typically square or rectangular, but new shapes on the market such as the D-shape, curved units, and quadrant shower units can increase functionality and add to the bathroom aesthetic.

Bathroom Shower UnitsIf you have a large bathroom, your choices are virtually endless. It is possible to install almost any type and shape of shower unit. The layout has to remain practical, and correctly placing elements such as the sink, toilet, bath, and bathroom shower units is essential to make the best use of the space. Smaller bathrooms are more challenging, but at GEZA, you will find that we have a whole range of bathroom shower units and other items that will suit a more compact layout, while still remaining highly practical and comfortable to use. For instance, our D-shaped showers are ideal for a wall space, and our quadrant bathroom shower units can help to get the most from a small corner space.

Another important consideration is the shower door. Doors opening outwards take up more space than other types such as sliding – or pivot swing doors. Shower curtains can also provide a great solution in small bathrooms. It is vital that the type of door used provides enough clearance space to enable the person to enter and exit the shower comfortably without the door banging into other elements in the bathroom.

The look of bathroom shower units may also differ significantly. Frosted glass is often used when privacy is required, and the style of the shower frames can be altered to suit personal taste. The glass used around the shower can also be bought in a variety of thicknesses and types in order to create a safer shower experience. Safety glass is also used often, which means that the glass will not break into shards or shatter if someone accidentally breaks the glass.

The type of shower tray can also make a huge difference. Sometimes people choose to not have a tray at all, and instead just slope the shower floor to guide water to the drain. Trays will usually ensure that water does not escape the shower, especially when the drain is a little bit clogged and water builds up in the tray, so it will prevent your bathroom from becoming flooded. The tray, of course, has to be a perfect fit for your bathroom shower unit in order to work best. It is more practical if the tray and the shower unit have been made together for a sealed, watertight fit. Often these trays and shower units are created off-site and can be installed quickly without any tiling or waterproofing needed for the floor. This makes ready-made bathroom shower units very practical and cost-effective to use.

Tiling may be needed where the shower fits against a wall, but if you choose bathroom shower units from GEZA our shower units come with a tray and a shower unit that fully surrounds the shower. This means that you do not have to tile the wall inside the shower, and that the tray can be installed on virtually any hard, level surface where adequate plumbing is installed.

At GEZA, we specialise in bringing bathroom shower units to a variety of environments, ranging from container conversions, tented camps, temporary accommodation in cabins, residential bathrooms, and many others. Our range of pre-made bathroom solutions can be made according to your specifications, and once manufactured off-site, we transport it to you, and can install an entire bathroom in a matter of hours!

Bathroom Basin Cabinet

Easy Steps to Choosing the Right Bathroom Basin Cabinet for Your Bathroom

Choosing a bathroom basin cabinet is not quite as straightforward as we would like it to be! If you are in the process of refurbishing a bathroom, or building a new one, you will have to make this decision and choose well for the best results. Here are some steps to take in order to get it right first time:

  1. Measure, measure, measure! You have to know how much space you have available. Once your bathroom layout has been planned or completed, measure the space that you have available for the bathroom basin cabinet. Usually, the size of the sink will provide a good indication, but people often choose to make the bathroom basin cabinet bigger than the basin if there is enough space. You must also measure the space around the basin, so you know how much space is available between the basin and other bathroom objects such as the shower or toilet.

 

  1. How many people are going to use your bathroom basin cabinet, and what will you be storing? If there are a number of people using the cabinet, you may need a bigger one to accommodate all the toiletries. If it is only you, you may need a smaller one. If you want to store towels and cleaning products in it, you may require one with more volume. If you will be using the bathroom to do your hair, you may also need to ensure that the bathroom basin cabinet is located close to an electrical socket, and has enough space for hair dryers, brushes, etc.

 

  1. Look for obstacles. Where you place your bathroom basin cabinet is also very important. Look out for the following:

 

Shower and Bathroom Doors: If the bathroom door opens to the inside, there has to be enough space for it not to continuously bounce off against the bathroom basin cabinet. The door of the cabinet also has to have enough space to open and provide easy access without restrictions. Also check out where the shower door is and to which extent it opens, so that you do not end up with your shower door banging against the vanity all the time.

The Toilet: Do you need your bathroom basin cabinet to be close to the toilet, or further away? Will there be enough space to sit down without having to struggle to reach the bathroom basin cabinet?

Traffic Flow: Remember that people will have to move comfortably through the bathroom and ensure that your bathroom basin cabinet does not block the flow of movement.

 

  1. Check where your plumbing is located. You have to build your bathroom basin cabinet around the plumbing because it is incredibly costly to have the plumbing moved. The type of plumbing will also determine which type of vanity you choose.

Bathroom Basin Sets

Looking for The Perfect Bathroom Basin Sets for Your Smaller Bathrooms?

Every bathroom needs a basin, but sometimes, bathroom basin sets take up a lot of space. In a small bathroom, this can be a problem, as it limits movement within the space and makes using the bathroom uncomfortable. Keep in mind though that there are many different options available when it comes to bathroom basin sets, and you are definitely not limited to large basin sets any longer! Modern technology has stepped up with new products and there are now many fabulous offerings on the market that will help you use your smaller bathroom spaces more effectively. With the special pre-made bathroom basin sets from GEZA, you can even have custom-made bathroom units designed according to your specific measurements.

Bathroom Basin SetsOften, corner bathroom basin sets are the best because they take up very little space, and they fit neatly into a small corner space that cannot be used for much else. Wall-mounted basins on a small storage cabinet or vanity can be just as useful, as long as the basin is small and contained. The best solution may still be to measure the space you have available and have a bathroom unit designed according to your specifications. This also means that the planning and layout will be done properly from the start and that you end up with a practical and comfortable small bathroom. Floating rectangular basins can fit snugly against the wall and can be combined with a towel rail attached at the bottom. This eliminates the need for an additional towel rail and saves space.

If you are not a fan of basins that are mounted against a wall or in a corner, you can choose a bathroom vanity set that has a small basin set into it. These are usually built to sit on the floor, yet it is possible to have a floating vanity containing small basin sets to save space while maximising storage for bathroom essentials such as toiletries and cleaning products.

Once you have chosen your bathroom basin sets, you have to carefully choose the taps. A small mixer tap is usually best, but the arm must be able to move to the side and out of the way when you wash your face. If you choose to have two taps at either corner of the basin, ensure that they do not hinder access to the basin. Take care that taps are positioned well over the basin, or water will continue to splash outside of the basin and find taps that are small enough to allow easy access to the basin. There are hundreds of small tap designs, so finding something that will suit the bathroom basin sets for your tiny bathroom should not be a problem.

When it comes to small bathroom spaces, you do not have to compromise when it comes to style and comfort. At GEZA, we design bathroom basin sets, shower cubicles, baths, and full bathroom units that are specifically designed to help you to make the most of your small bathroom. Because our products are made off-site according to measurement, all we have to do is to transport the unit to your site and install it. After a few hours is is fully functional. You do not have to wait forever for shower tile grout to cure and our showers, basins, and baths are made to be naturally waterproof, so you do not have to worry about leaks.

We use only high-quality materials and top designs to ensure that we provide our clients with the best bathroom units and kitchen units around. We have a wide range of clients around the country in a variety of industries, including housing developments, hospitals, and schools. Because our designs are so innovative and made of the best materials, we can ensure you a hassle-free installation and a robust bathroom that will be attractive, will last a long time, and will be easy and comfortable to use.

Drop-In Basins for Bathrooms

Looking for a Great Range of Drop-In Basins for Bathrooms? GEZA Can Help!

Every bathroom requires a basin, but there are so many different types, sizes, colours, and shapes of basins on the market today! Choosing the right type of basin for your bathroom can be challenging, because you have to choose one that compliments the rest of the bathroom. It is easier to choose a basin for bigger bathrooms, but when it comes to small spaces, certain options work better than others. One of the most modern and attractive basin trends around now is the use of drop-in basins for bathrooms. Not only do they make the most of small spaces, but they can be inserted into a wide variety of surfaces and they look great.

What are drop-in basins?

These are freestanding basins that usually rest on some type of counter top. It enables easy installation and a wide variety of combinations can be used. It is one of the most sought-after types of basins used in modern bathrooms at the moment, and this is because they are so practical and stylish, and can be used in bathrooms of all sizes. Because the basin can easily be installed into different types of counter tops, there are many different looks to choose from. Modern drop-in basins for bathrooms are installed in a way that allows a part of the basin rim to sit above the counter surface, giving it a 3-dimensional look. The counter is built to carry the weight of the drop-in basin, and certain methods can be used to ensure that the drop-in basin can be secured to the counter and waterproofed where the sink enters the supporting surface.

Drop-in basins for bathrooms come in a wide variety of materials, colours, and shapes, and these can range from plain porcelain to highly polished copper or ornate ceramic basins. Granite is often used, and stainless steel basins are also popular. The sinks are created with holes for taps, or you may choose to mount the taps directly onto the supporting counter. It is a great option for those who would like the look and feel of a modern yet practical bathroom, especially in small spaces. It is also a favourite amongst those who like do a DIY update to update their bathrooms.

Are drop-in basins for bathrooms your best option?

It is a really creative way of installing basins in small spaces. They are also very popular for larger bathrooms, but the bigger the drop-in basin is, the more solid the supporting surface has to be, and this may make them more expensive. Ultimately, the most important factors are your personal preferences and the space you have available. There are quite a few options to choose from, and these include the following:

  • Vanity drop-in basin: If you are a lover of a look that is polished and well-fitted, the vanity is your answer. The basin can be any size (as long as it fits into the vanity) leaving space around the basin for soap, candles, and other items.
  • Drop-in basin on a pedestal: This is pretty much the standard type of basin you get in most bathrooms, so if you want a more traditional look, this is a good choice. The pedestal hides plumbing and pipework, and they tend to be sturdy and robust.
  • Corner basin: Drop-in basins are great in corner spaces, because they make effective use of space that would otherwise not be utilised. They are a great choice for small bathrooms or guest toilets.

Complete Shower Unit

How a Complete Shower Unit Can Help to Make the Most of Your Bathroom

One of the things you can do to update your property and to increase its value is to refurbish your bathroom and your kitchen. Chucking out the old tiles, bath, and bathroom fixtures and replacing them with new ones will undoubtedly give the whole room a fresh new look, and if your bathroom only contained a bath before, you can alter the layout and install a complete shower unit instead. People like to have the choice between a bath and a shower, and if you only have a bath, this limits your choices. Getting some professionals to help you to find space in a small bathroom for a bath and a complete shower unit can be invaluable, especially when it comes to the value of your property.

It is becoming more common for new building developers to build smaller apartments and homes, and often bathrooms are not given much space in the planning of the apartment. Cabin accommodation conversions and temporary worker accommodation often also has very limited bathroom space, and a complete shower unit can provide all the functionality that is needed for people to carry out their ablutions in comfort. Time is usually also a factor and installing a complete bathroom can be a challenge when tiling have to be done, showers built, and waterproof floors installed. Getting a company that can install a complete shower and bathroom unit that is pre-designed according to the measurements of the bathroom can save a lot of time and effort. There are also other ways in which a complete shower unit can help to make a bathroom a pleasure to be in:

  • Great use of space: Because bathrooms are usually compact, it is easy for us to measure your space and provide you with a prefabricated complete shower unit and bathroom to make the best use of the space available in the bathroom. Showers take up far less space than bathtubs and they provide ample space around them to be creative and practical when it comes to storage and décor.

 

  • Modern fittings and fixtures: Nothing is more frustrating than an old mixer tap that will not work properly. It always seems to be either too hot or too cold. Installing a brand-new complete shower unit allows you to choose new, high-quality fixtures and fittings for your shower. This means that you can have a shower in comfort and pre-set the temperature that you enjoy.

 

  • Creative choices: Because there are so many different types of complete bathroom and shower units to choose from, it is easy to get creative with the design and décor of the bathroom space. There are corner units, half-moon shapes, and the regular rectangular designs – all of which help you to try great ideas in your bathroom space.

 

  • Variety of natural colours: Most bathrooms in the sixties, seventies, and eighties were done in different colours that ranged from a vivid turquoise to avocado green. While these were just the ticket back then, trying to sell a home with a salmon pink bath and shower nowadays can be very difficult. Nowadays we realise that the best colours to use in a bathroom are the ones that imitate nature; slate, stone, marble, and most of all, white. These colours can then be dressed up or down with pops of soft furnishings where needed, and you can change the main colour with very little effort or expense. For instance, it is a lot easier to use a complete shower unit, bath, basin, and toilet in white, and just use the desired colour in your bathroom with towels, bath mat, and curtains, than it is to change all the hardware and fixtures to match a new colour or style.

 

  • Choose the perfect complete shower unit: Much time and space can be saved if you choose a specialised service provider to create a complete bathroom for you. These bathrooms, which can include everything you need from a shower stall, vanity, basin, toilet, and bath, can all be pre-cast to your plans and measurements, and installed in a very short time compared to the usual traditional bathroom. Not only do they save time, but they cost less, and you will get years of use from them!

Bathroom Basin Units

Looking for Bathroom Basin Units and Other Essentials for Your New Bathroom? GEZA Can Help!

If you are building a new home, or your current residence needs a bit of a facelift, you will probably want to choose a brand-new bathroom. A clean, modern bathroom that is well designed can add value to the property and make your life a lot more comfortable. The bathroom is not just a place of ablutions – it is also a place where you can relax in a hot bath after a long day, and a place where you can refresh yourself by having a cool shower, and this is why your bathroom has to have a pleasant, relaxing atmosphere while still remaining highly functional and easy to move in. Small bathrooms can sometime be a challenge, and a well-planned layout is essential in order to accommodate bathroom basin units, shower, bath, and storage. The bathroom essentials all have to be chosen well in order to fit into the space comfortably; for instance, there is no point in getting a large bathroom basin unit and bath if there is not enough room to move comfortably, or space for storage.

When it comes to bathroom basin units and all the other bathroom essentials you need to create a great bathroom that is not only well planned and practical to use, but also good to look at and quick to install, GEZA can help. GEZA means “wash” in isiZulu, and we have made it our business to specialise in kitchens and bathrooms – basically everywhere any washing is done in the home. Since going into this business in 1999, we have worked hard to create a name for ourselves in the industry, and we are well-known for our innovative designs, great style, reliable products and our passion to challenge the traditional ways of bathroom and kitchen supply, design, and installation during or after construction of buildings. We started out with kitchens and supplied a wide variety of kitchen units to the housing development industry, private residences, offices, hospitals, and many more.

Later, after we were asked by some clients to design and develop ablution units for temporary accommodation, living quarters for mining operations, tented camps, and conversions of containers, we realised that there is a need for well-designed bathrooms that include bathroom basin units, shower cubicles, and baths. Since then, we have built a solid reputation throughout the country and regularly provide a range of high-profile clients with the kitchen and bathroom units they need. We design and pre-fabricate our units to fit particular spaces, and these are transported to the client’s premises, then assembled or installed. Our ablution units, which include baths, toilets, showers, and bathroom basin units, are much quicker to install than the traditional bathroom, and we provide a wide range of options to choose from.

Our pride and joy are our GEZA shower cubicles, which are specifically designed to take into consideration the responsible energy and water usage. We worked for years to perfect it, and we managed to develop a product that can be used just about anywhere. Because the cubicle is freestanding, no building work is required, and once plumbing is ready, the shower and bathroom basin units can be installed without any additional construction needed. Another benefit of our bathroom products is that they can be installed on virtually any flat surface, including timber, slate, cement, or tile floors. Our bathroom units and kitchen units can be installed in a matter of hours, because they are pre-made, and this is a boon for our clients who need to complete building projects on tight schedules. Not only do they get the bathrooms and kitchens they need quickly, but they love the great quality and robustness of our installations and products.

As with any other fast-growing product line, we also had to take a hard look at the design, manufacture, and distribution of spares and parts, and also the maintenance and repairs of our products across a widespread client base.  As a result, we now have a GEZA outlet in Gauteng, where we stock spares for all the components we install, including all our kitchen units and bathrooms, including the bathroom basin units. We also provide our clients with a wide range of plumbing products, and all these products can be purchased from our shop in Gauteng or on our website. Give us a call today to find out more!

Shower Cubicle for Small Bathroom

Ideas for Choosing a Shower Cubicle for a Small Bathroom

Research shows that more people prefer to shower than bath. Not only are they faster, more refreshing and clean better, but they also use less water, which makes a shower more economical to use. This means that a practical shower space is a must-have for any household, even for those with small bathrooms. Our bathrooms are usually the smallest rooms in the home – especially if the home is very compact – and if you are keen on showers, you will have to look for a shower cubicle for a small bathroom, which may be more difficult to find than you may think!

Most people like to build in their own showers or install a shower over the bath. But there are other solutions. If you can find a suitable shower cubicle for your small bathroom you will have so much more comfort when showering. If your bathroom is particularly small and cannot accommodate a bath, a custom designed shower cubicle for a small bathroom is the only answer.

If you are on the lookout for a shower that will fit into your small bathroom, there are certain things you can do to ensure that you find what you need. For a start, you have to count the available walls and select your shower cubicle accordingly. You have to make the most of your space in the room, and your sanitaryware has to be laid out in a way that makes movement, access and exits easy within the small bathroom.

Also have a look where your windows are, how high they are, and what type of windows you have. You also have to know what the layout will be before installing the plumbing as this can greatly affect what you can install and where.

If you have three available walls that are close enough together to form a shower cubicle in your small bathroom, you have some options. You can install a ready-made shower cubicle basin and hang a hinged door. This type of door rests on hinges that allow the door to open outwards from the shower – just ensure that there is enough space for the hinged door to open completely and that there is no other sanitaryware in the way. You can also use a pivot door that is a little bit receded into the shower, which means that less door space is needed for it to open outwards. The best space saving doors are the sliding door and the bi-fold door. Sliding doors roll back on rollers and don’t open outward, so no space is needed for the door outside of the shower. The bi-fold door concertinas in half and it glides in behind the existing door pane. This is practical because it requires no space outside of the shower, and it also doesn’t drip water outside of the shower in the way other doors do.

If you only have two walls available, you have to choose a shower cubicle for a small bathroom that has two panels in order to become a fully functional cubicle that will keep water inside. A great choice here is the quadrant shower cubicle for your small bathroom. You can also choose a corner entry shower cubicle, which is square shaped and has two sliding doors that meet at the corner. This is a great choice for very small spaces.

If you have to set up your shower against a single wall, you will need a three-sided shower cubicle for your small bathroom. There are also new D-shaped shower cubicles on the market now and these can act as a good focal point while still providing a comfortable place to shower in.

The most important part is to get the layout completely right – measure the floor space and the sanitaryware to ensure that everything can fit, and then find a design or layout that will most comfortable accommodate everything. The height of the bathroom is also important – if it is particularly low or set against a sloping ceiling you will need to find a shower cubicle for small bathrooms that is customised to these needs.

The type of shower tray (or shower basin) you choose can affect the looks and durability of the shower. Generally, resin is used with great success and pre-made shower cubicles for small bathrooms are usually made of this material or acrylic.

At GEZA, we strive to provide our clients with the best bathroom sanitaryware, and we specialise in small bathrooms. We serve a wide range of customers in various environments – from container conversions, cabins and compact housing, to large building developments. Please contact us to find out more about our range of sanitaryware and our shower cubicles for small bathrooms!
