Have you got space issues in a small bathroom? Is the room so tiny that there doesn’t seem to be room for everything you need? Don't panic! By using the right accessories and adopting some space-saving solutions even the smallest bathroom can become a very comfortable area.
Sanitary ware: space-saving shapes and sizes
Firstly, it is possible to save space in the bathroom by choosing compact fixtures that ensure as much comfort as big ones. Mini bidets and toilets are highly recommended as well as back-to-wall sanitary ware with a fine and essential design. Much better if they are combined with wall-hung washbasins, or even inset basins that are designed to fit with cabinets prepared with an accommodating cut. On the contrary, full-pedestal basins must be avoided. For extremely small settings, the market offers very tiny washbasins: mini sinks or little bowls that are as convenient as the big ones. The washbasin collection by Kerasan, for example, includes sinks of all sizes, ranging from those of only 40 cm in diameter up to 120 cm in length but, in any case, the standards of quality, functionality and convenience are always guaranteed.
Exploiting wall space in small bathrooms
Taking advantage of the walls of the bathroom can be a perfect way to obtain a comfortable and organized area. Suspended units and shelves to be placed above the toilet or the bidet can optimize the situation without occupying floor space. The walls of the bathroom are also suitable for hanging accessories that are essential for every day usage: wall-mounted towel rails, hangers, toothbrush holders and soap dishes are useful tricks for a clean and tidy bathroom. Sometimes even the back of the door can be used for an extra space. A heated towel rail is the top in terms of functionality and effectiveness: fixed to the wall, it dries towels while preventing the bathroom from getting damp. It also gives a touch of contemporary style to small and narrow bathrooms.
Space-saving solutions for the laundry room
Quite often the bathroom is also the place where the washing machine is installed. Interior designers can plan a specially made piece of furniture that can improve the characteristics of the environment, especially its appearance and arrangement. One-door suspended units with internal shelves and storage boxes are highly recommended to contain cleaning products and tools. Small fortuitous spaces, such as the one obtained between the washbasin and the washing machine or between the washing machine and the wall for example, can be used to place a clothes hamper or a cabinet on wheels for dirty laundry. Shelves above the washing machine are a viable alternative for creating an extra area that can be used for different needs in a very tiny room.
Space-saving shower areas in the name of relax
Small bathrooms are the best place for positioning a shower enclosure. Properly designed, the shower can be the perfect fixture to ensure maximum comfort without compromising the rest of the room. The shower tray should be chosen according to the space available in the bathroom. For this purpose, Kerasan offers shower trays of various sizes, adaptable to the main characteristics of the bathroom in which they should be placed. Quadrant shower trays perfectly fit in corners that differently would remain unused, whilst square and rectangular trays can be small or big depending on the standards of comfort required. A transparent panel and sliding doors complete the shower enclosure. Sliding doors are preferred because they open horizontally and do not require clearance space like a hinged door.
