How To Save Space in Your Small Bathroom

 

When working with a smaller space, you may think that a luxurious bathroom is unattainable. However, if you use the space correctly, you can indeed achieve a beautiful, modern bathroom design that wows every time. Whether you’re renovating your cloakroom, ensuite or family bathroom, there are always ways to save space and make your dream style a reality.

 

Be Smart with Your Bathroom Storage  

 

Furniture is one of the biggest features that takes up space in the bathroom, making it a great place to start when thinking smart about your small bathroom design. Clutter can fill up a small room quickly and leave it feeling closed in and restricted. Finding a bathroom furniture solution that both saves space and provides excellent storage capacity is key for making a compact space feel bigger and more open.  

When aiming to save space in your bathroom, you want a vanity unit that can tuck away nicely without compromising on style. A wall hung design is a great option because it frees up the floor space underneath which can act as a great spot for a basket for extra storage, or, when left open, can make the space feel bigger.

Small but fashionable, our Camberwell 500mm furniture unit offers a perfect solution for smaller bathrooms. With two large drawers, Camberwell provides excellent storage for your bathroom essentials. Alternatively, our Hackney furniture is ideal for any space. Its modular system allows you to create the storage that is right for you. Starting with a 500mm or 600mm unit, you can then add on any additional shelving you need to achieve the right amount of storage while sticking within your space restrictions.

Space-Saving Toilet Designs

 

The toilet is another key consideration when designing for a smaller bathroom space. Typically, toilets can be quite chunky with a large projection, taking up a lot of room. However, there are ways to reduce the amount of floor space the toilet uses. To gain some space back and open up the room a bit more, opt for a wall hung or back to wall toilet. These types of toilets feature a concealed cistern. This means that rather than the cistern being visibly attached to the pan as it is with a close coupled design, the cistern is placed within the wall, hiding it from view to create a sleek, modern design, as well as considerably reducing the amount of space the toilet consumes. With plenty of shapes, sizes and styles to choose from, find the perfect toilet for your space and design.

Wall Hung Accessories

 

Being smart with your choice of accessories means that you can save space around the whole bathroom. Many accessories are essential to making a bathroom functional, and with that comes the extra space needed to accommodate them all. Opting for wall hung accessories removes the extra clutter from the floor or around your basin as well as providing a sleek, modern appearance. Our Hoxton 2.0 accessory range features exclusively wall hung designs with a minimalist appearance that additionally aids in saving space. From shelves and towel rings to toilet roll holders and robe hooks, the Hoxton 2.0 accessory range has everything you need to add the finishing touches to your bathroom design while making the most of the space you have available.
