How to Design a Narrow and Long Bathroom

One of the key decisions to enhance mobility and accessibility when furnishing a narrow bathroom is to concentrate all the furniture along one of the long walls. This way, we avoid creating narrow corridors, and the bathroom's layout will be much more efficient, free of obstacles.

A great idea is to install the shower at the far end and place the countertop or vanity unit and the toilet along the same wall.

An effective way to minimise bathroom fittings is to choose a smart toilet, like Gala-Innova. These toilets come equipped with a cleaning nozzle that ensures complete hygiene after each use, combining the benefits of both a toilet and a bidet in one product.

For small, narrow, or elongated bathrooms, another smart solution is to install wall-hung toilets with a built-in cistern, freeing up valuable space for better bathroom circulation. Gala offers a variety of models with these features, allowing customers to select the style that suits them best.

In narrow bathrooms, a shower tray is always a better choice than a bathtub, as it optimises space more efficiently. This is especially true for made-to-measure shower trays, which allow for full utilization of the available space.

For guest bathrooms or particularly narrow bathroom spaces, it may be necessary to choose slim solutions for the washbasin area. Recognizing the space constraints of some homes, Gala offers a range of models designed specifically for this purpose, such as the Mik unit (23 cm deep) and the Emma Square (25 cm) or the Albus (23 cm) washbasins.
