Space Saving Bathroom Ideas

Having a small space can often be seen as a negative. Looking online and seeing big lavish bathrooms often makes you think that you can’t create your dream bathroom with the space you have. However, there are ways to maximise your space and make the most of your bathroom.

Less is more

When you've got a small space to work with to design your bathroom, you should consider if less is more. Less room, means less space for any furniture or accessories and in theory less ways to express yourself and make the most of your bathroom. However, too much decoration can often become too overwhelming and crowded in the little space you have. Remember that a minimalist style with less furniture and accessories may be a good option when creating your bathroom.

Choosing suitable furniture

Choosing a minimalist style and the right furniture for your small space can transform any space into the perfect bathroom. Take time to consider all your options for all the key components you need in your bathroom. Whether that’s by browsing our bathroom catalogues or discussing with one of our bathroom designers, this will ensure that your bathroom reaches its full potential.

Pick the right colours

As with any bathroom, choosing the right colours is vital, but with small bathrooms, this has even more importance. In a small space, making sure you choose a colour that complements the room is integral to how you feel about the bathroom once complete. Opting for bright colours will help open up your space and create a welcoming feeling. With darker colours, it could have the opposite effect and leave your room feeling smaller and closed in.

Add a mirror into the mix

In such a small space, you need all the help you can get to create space. Use a mirror to create the illusion of space and fill the room with light. Using a wider mirror if possible will help give the impression that the wall which it is on is wider than it really is. It's surprising how much a mirror can help you with your small bathroom project.

Room for a bath?

When trying to fit in a bath its important to assess your space. This is to make sure you see if a bath can fit in the first place but also how this will impact the other furniture you are featuring in your small space. If you are going for a bath, trying a compact or multi-functional option may be the way to make it work.

Towel rail vs radiator

With limited space, having a piece of furniture that both heats the area but is also not too big that it overpowers. It's important to figure out if a towel rail or a radiator is the best option for your space. Here's some factors to take into consideration:
