When you need to work with a small space, making the right choices for your bathroom is essential. The design and layout of the room will play a big part in this process. Follow our tips to make the best out of a small bathroom space.

Install A Corner Sink

By placing a sink in the corner, you will definitely save space. Not only will the floor be more spacious, but the room will generally feel clearer as well. Pro-tip: take it one step further and install a wall-mounted sink, to maximise the space even more.

Use Lighter Colours

Most times, lighter colours will achieve a larger and brighter look & feel. Therefore, when you are choosing the colours for the paint, or for the tiles, definitely think about using lighter shades, maybe white or blue, for example.

Install Storage Units

To avoid mess and disorder, storage units will be crucial in small bathrooms. You could place shelves in various parts of the room, or add cupboards also. Baskets can also be very handy to store dirty items, or rubbish. Although, placing these items in another room will help save more space.

Simplify The Design

By keeping everything simple, you will gain tones of space. When you need to choose decoration items or bathroom fittings, we would recommend sticking to the bare minimum, as this will make the room feel much bigger, cleaner, and nice to use. Some aspects can be taken further, such as artwork on the walls, these will not take up additional space, so they can be used without a problem.
