7 Clever Tricks to Make a Small Bathroom Look Stunning

Small bathroom? We?ve got you covered. Luxury bathrooms do not have to be large. But with a small bathroom you do have extra challenges like how to fit a full bathroom suite, and where to store essential bathroom accessories and toiletries. The trick is to use whatever space you have effectively to create a welcoming, comfortable room. There are a few tricks you can pull off to do this. Have a look at the following ideas for inspiration and never look at a small bathroom with despair again.

1. Use Sliding Shower Doors or Curtains

Shower doors that open out into the room are difficult in a small space as you have to clamber in and out, plus the door looks bulky in a tiny space. Choose a shower enclosure with a sliding door or a concertina door so that you don't have the problem of a protruding door into the room. A shower curtain will work as well, but it doesn't have the same stylish look as a sleek glass door, and it won?t keep as much water inside the enclosure.

1. Fit a Corner Basin

Adding a corner basin is one of the best ways to maximise the space you have available in the room and to get yourself something new and stylish. Pedestal basins can take up a lot of space; adding a corner basin opposite the toilet is a good way to create wider walkways around the room.

1. Consider the Vanities

Don?t place vanity units directly on the floor. Mounting a cupboard slightly off the floor, or higher up at eye level, makes the space look larger and also gives you a little extra room underneath for the sink, or another storage shelf. If you want to avoid the problem of bruising your legs on a vanity, go for a curved style or a corner vanity so you can more easily navigate it in a small space.

1. Consider a Counter Extension

Extend a counter or shelf above the toilet. You don't have to move the toilet and you gain a little extra space for cosmetics, or decorative items like a vase or a scented candle.

1. Pay Attention to Pattern

If you have tiles, choose wide or oversized tiles, not miniature mosaic tiles. Seeing large items tricks the eye into believing there is more space. Tiny patterns make everything look smaller.

1. Stretch the Mirror

Adding a larger mirror in place of the old one that just stretched the length of the vanity is a good way to enlarge the space in the room and it gives two people the opportunity to use it at once.

1. Use Wall-Mounted Taps

Wall-mounted bath tabs and sink mixers allow you to use a smaller sink, and frees up space at the end of the bath. Wall-mounted taps also look sleek and stylish. If you are looking to upgrade your taps and also save space, this is a good option.
