A small bathroom doesn’t have to be boring. Sure, you need all the functionality you can get from the smallest room in the home, but there’s no need to forget about design. Don’t let space stop you from creating your own private sanctuary. A place to relax, pamper and escape the rush of modern life can be designed to suit. Here are a few tips on how to make the bathroom of your dreams a reality, regardless of size.
Measure and Design
Gather all the measurements of the room and ignore the positioning of the appliances for now. There’s a good chance that the room could be improved with a little bit of plumbing work and clever design. Draw out the room online or on paper and begin playing with your ideas.
Write Your Wish List
Know what you would like to have in your bathroom. Create a list of absolute essentials, features that you’d love to have and even the small added luxuries. Once you have a room plan and a list you can begin shopping.
Begin Shopping
There are plenty of brands that use their design expertise to come up with solutions for the smaller bathroom, such as:
• Villeroy and Boch
• Victoria and Albert
• Waters Baths
• Keuco
Water Baths and More
The bath tub is probably the largest piece that you need to consider. Working out the position of the bath and finding one that fits in with your big ideas is likely to be the hardest job. Think about the type of bath you want, is it freestanding? Perhaps you’d like to be able to bath the kids at the same time or share a bath with your partner. View ranges from brand such as Villeroy and Boch and being narrowing down your favourites.
Countertop Basins from Victoria and Albert
Victoria and Albert baths have a wonderful range of countertop basins, ideal for smaller bathrooms. The design is elegant, modern and high quality. However, the countertop basin is perfect for small rooms thanks to the lack of the large pedestal. You can incorporate the basin with a useful counter with added storage.
Don’t Ignore the Fixtures and Fittings
It’s amazing what a difference fixtures and fittings can make to a bathroom. Set aside some of your bathroom budget for uniquely designed fittings and quality fittings that will bring the bathroom up to the next level.
Keuco have modern designs that make create use of space. Some of the options that work well in smaller bathrooms include the double towel holder and the basin mixer. Both these designs make perfect use of space without skimping on design or function.
Don’t let a small bathroom hold you back. With careful design and thought out shopping you can create any kind of bathroom you want. Think big but think smart!
