Effective Tricks for Opening Up Small Bathrooms #CP ... The Yorkshire Dad Blog ...

A small bathroom can be tricky to work with to help you feel like you have the space needed for everything you do in your bathroom while keeping it looking good, clean, tidy, and organised. Oftentimes, creativity is the name of the game here, and you need to work with what you have to maximise space and ensure that your small bathroom benefits your life, not hinders you.

If you need inspiration for renovating your small bathroom, these tips can help you out.

Multi-Purpose Furniture

If you are short on space, you need bathroom furniture that doubles up with more than one function. Or has additional features. Think wall cabinets with bars that you can use as towel rails or hanging rails, and think of shelving to store supplies and decorative items to make the most of your wall space. Think tall, slim items that fill up awkward spaces you might not otherwise use and sink vanities that offer storage or even built-in toilet roll holders or towel rails. The more one small piece of furniture can do, the less you need to include.

Curves Not Corners

For a small bathroom, the key is to soften the space and create a sense of comfort. Opt for rounded features like a round sink or vanity, and consider built-in storage with curved edges to eliminate harsh corners. These soft, flowing lines not only give the illusion of more space but also add a touch of comfort to your bathroom, making it a more inviting space.

Think Minimalist

Less is more in small bathrooms, and jumping on popular bathroom trends such as the new invisible bathroom concept can be exactly what you need. The concept of an invisible bathroom is to hide away everything you can and aim for a sleek look. Conceal, not remove, is the theme here, so wall-mounted taps, hidden toilet cisterns, etc. The more you can hide, the better, and the sleeker and less cluttered the space will look, giving you the illusion of a bigger room.

Hide the Radiator

This does not mean removing it but replacing the radiator with a more appropriate size or design. It could be that you install a vertical radiator, which frees up a wall to give you more space. A slimline vertical radiator like those available at Radiator Village can add a design feature while still providing heat when needed. You might find that a thin horizontal radiator works best for you in the space. But looking at how your radiator fits into the space and how you can make it less intrusive or more part of the new design can free up room and help you improve aesthetics in one fell swoop.

All White

An all-white bathroom can be the perfect option for slim, long bathrooms that feel narrow or claustrophobic. White is clean and fresh and can help to reflect light again, giving the idea of a bigger space, which is just as good as other options. If you pair the white bathroom features and furniture with light wood for flooring and natural accessories such as rattan or bamboo, you can soften the room and draw attention to the room's length and not the depth. Pair this with handle-free doors and remove knobs and handles where you can, and add a mirror to reinforce the concepts and add more light-reflecting surfaces.
