When designing your bathroom, you need to consider the existing space and plan around it. Working with a small space doesn’t mean your bathroom can’t look amazing; you just need to do a bit more planning.
RN Williams offer a huge range of bathroom suites and a personalised design service for bathrooms in North Wales. Here are a few things to consider if you are thinking about giving your bathroom a bit of a makeover this year.
- Bathtubs & Sinks
Freestanding bath tubs look aesthetic, but can take up too much valuable space in smaller bathrooms. For small bathroom spaces, decide whether you prefer a bath or shower – having both options can waste valuable space, and makes a small bathroom feel even more cramped.
Choosing the right sink can also be important, as you want a sink which comfortably fits your height. Opting for a corner sink can also help to add room to small bathrooms.
- Preventing Damp
Bathrooms can quickly become damp, especially if there is limited window ventilation in the room. Damp and mildew not only looks unattractive, it can also pose quite serious health issues if it is not dealt with.
If limited window ventilation is a problem that you’re facing – invest in a good quality fan to ensure that excessive moisture is removed effectively.
- Hidden Storage
If, like most people, you have too many hair and skin products that you don’t really want displayed – consider having some storage installed. This will keep your bathroom looking uncluttered and more spacious. To maximise space and style, select vanity furniture to hide your abundance of half-used cosmetics. Some vanity units feature a basin, perfect for small bathrooms that require additional storage.
- Create Optical Illusions
Some design choices can give the illusion of a bigger bathroom. Light, neutral wall and floor colours can help make small bathrooms appear more airy and expansive. Installing a large mirror in your bathroom can create the illusion of a bigger space.
