Make the Most of Space: Tips for Decorating Small Bathrooms

A spacious bathroom or a functional one? Even small bathrooms can feel larger with effective space management. It’s all about applying a few clever tricks when selecting fixtures and planning the design. Today, we are sharing key tips to help you maximise space in a small bathroom.

Designing the layout

Changing the layout of your bathroom is not always possible, but if you are planning a full renovation, it is important to consider how the fixtures and fittings are arranged. Removing unnecessary obstacles and ensuring clear walkways is crucial. Larger elements, like the shower, are typically placed at the back of the room. For instance, positioning the washbasin directly in front of the entrance can create a sense of spaciousness, as the mirror reflects the open door rather than a wall, adding a sense of depth to the room.

The perfect furniture unit enhances the bathroom space

In smaller spaces, it is often best to choose versatile options, such as units with drawers or doors. These furniture units provide valuable storage space beneath the washbasin, making the most of the 60-80 cm area, depending on the available room.

However, if space permits, consider opting for a custom piece of furniture like those available in the Shona and Dane modular collections. These series offer a range of open and closed modules, allowing you to create a personalised setup that meets your specific needs.

Wall-hung fittings, the best option

Wall-hung toilets are ideal for small bathrooms due to their compact design, which enhances visual spaciousness. To optimize available space, this type of toilet is an excellent choice. Additionally, built-in installation systems make them an efficient option for water conservation. For instance, Gala offers flushing systems for wall-hung toilets that use just 4/2 litres or 4.5/3 litres of water, making them a great eco-friendly solution.
