Create space with colour

 
When it comes to small bathroom designs, choosing a fitting colour scheme can really have an impact on the appearance of your bathroom.

If you want your bathroom to appear open and bright, you should consider sticking to lighter colours. Colours such as white, cream, and neutral are better at reflecting light and creating an illusion of more space.

Alternatively, if you are looking to add height to your bathroom, then creating a horizontal block of colour can help you achieve this look. Use a darker colour on the bottom half of your walls and a lighter shade on the top half. Not only does this technique add elegance and class, but it allows you to add in a pop of colour while keeping the room light and spacious.

Choosing the right toilet

 

Toilets come in many styles, shapes, and sizes, making them suitable for many different bathroom designs.For smaller bathrooms, you will likely want to consider a compact toilet.

Wall-hung toilets are great for maximising space, as they take away the ‘bulk’ of a traditional toilet. Essentially, they are built into the wall so that the cistern and pipes are hidden away.

Alternatively,a corner toilet can make a more affordable space-saving option for a small bathroom renovation. Corner toilets are a clever solution if you struggle to fit all of your bathroom essentials into your plan. Having the ability to place the toilet in the corner of the room will really help to free up space.

Bath or shower?

 

Just because your bathroom may not have an abundance of space doesn’t mean you have to skip out on having a bath.Choosing whether to have a bath or shower (or both) in your small bathroom can be tricky.

Of course, the obvious answer would be to choose a standing shower, but you shouldn’t pick solely based on what takes up the least amount of room! There are solutions that will work for various bathroom sizes. One tip for small bathrooms would be to get a corner bathtub. Or you could opt for a shower bath and get the best of both worlds.

Get creative with lights

 

Lighting is essential in contemporary bathroom designs. Similarly to colour, it can really open up your space, especially if your bathroom has littlenatural lighting.

Add a touch of luxury to your small bathroom design and keep things practical by getting creative with the lighting – this could include opting for light up cabinets or mirrors.

Smartstorage ideas

 

Clever storage hacks are the best way to maximise space and make the most out of your small bathroom. Lucky for you, there are plenty of simple ways to do this.

Firstly you could invest in a heated towel rack. Heated towel racks can double up as a radiator, making the most effective way to hang and dry your towels, plus you’ll be able to heat up the room all-in-one!

Another simple storage tip for a small bathroom design is to choose a sink with a built-in storage cabinet. Not only will this add style to your bathroom, but it will provide extra storage without taking up more space.
