Modern Cloakroom Design Ideas

 

Your downstairs toilet may be a small space, but it can pack a punch when it comes to design. Tucked away from the main living areas, it is the perfect place to get creative, experiment with design and bring personality into your interior. While it may be out of sight, it is also one of the few rooms in your home that almost every guest is likely to visit, so it’s a great opportunity to wow your visitors with a beautiful modern design.

Turn your downstairs toilet into your new favourite room in your house with these inspirational cloakroom toilet ideas…

 

Calming Hues with Statement Accents

 

A bathroom is a place to have a calming moment to yourself. Bringing soothing tones into the space can elevate the feeling of peace you have when entering the room. Our Camberwell furniture range offers a selection of calming tones, such as this Dusty Blue, that aid in creating a tranquil and revitalising energy within the bathroom.

To add intrigue to your design, pair your bright, calming shades with a contrasting accent colour. Here, we have used Matt Black accessories, brassware and furniture handles to draw the eye into the space, add sophistication and elevate the pastel tones. 

Personalised Furniture

 

Being a compact space, finding cloakroom furniture that provides enough storage to keep the room from getting cluttered and messy can be difficult. That’s where our Hackney furniture range can help. This modular furniture can be designed to suit your space and storage needs by selecting the right sizes and unit types to combine together. With both a drawer and a shelf, this unit gives plenty of storage space to hide away your bathroom essentials while also allowing you to display your favourite items or keep things within easy reach.

Here, we have perfectly matched the finish of our Hackney unit with our brassware, accessories and mirror design to create a unified look throughout the space. When paired with light walls and floor tiles or brightly coloured wallpaper, this finish creates a striking look that is inviting and homely.  

Compact Design

 

Colourful and compact, this Dalston furniture unit is perfect for getting creative in the cloakroom. Its highly modern design aids in creating a sleek and contemporary bathroom interior with an eye-catching colour scheme. Pairing beautifully with a shimmering Brushed Brass, this Matt Blue furniture unit turns even a small space into an indulgent interior.

Our minimalist Hoxton 2.0 accessories work perfectly in a cloakroom too, with their minimalist design and delicate features allowing them to slot into small spaces, keeping all your essential cloakroom items within easy reach and bringing excellent functionality to the space.
