Smaller bathrooms can seem poky and difficult to manage unless you learn a few tricks to maximise your space and to ensure that you have enough space to store all of your bathing necessities.
You Can Have Both
If your bathroom is so small that you can’t easily include a shower in addition to a bath then an over-bath shower is the solution. There are many stylish and affordable options for over-bath showers today and you can also purchase splash guards to attach to the side of the bath which will help to minimise flooding. Fitting a splash guard in addition to a stylish shower curtain is a great way to make sure that you have the facilities to enjoy a relaxing bath as well as an invigorating shower!
Turn it Into a Wet Room
Installing a wet room is one way to save on space in a stylish way, you don’t necessarily need an enormous bathroom to be able to enjoy the benefits of a wet room either. Even smaller bathrooms can be adjusted by installing concealed shower trays which give the appearance of a wet room. Integral tiled seating and storage spaces are another great way to make the most of this type of set-up.
Make the Most of the Space Available
If you want to keep a traditional bathroom with shower and bath as separate units, then you will need to consider some other nifty space saving ideas in terms of the bath and sink. A corner bath is an attractive way to allow you tom a good soak without using up all of the available space, whilst under-sink storage cupboards and over door shelves will make the most of otherwise unused space and allow for storage of bulky towels too.
Adding a shelf underneath the basin will also give you some added storage space. Avoid cluttering up your bath area with cosmetics, bottles and jars, which not only looks disorganised, but is a magnet for mess.
