How to optimise your shower room in a small space?
Making the most of the space in your bathroom is never easy. Especially in a small bathroom, where we often wonder how we are going to manage to arrange the space in this room.
We give you our seven tips:
1. Choice of colours / choose light colours
The choice of colours is a major element in favour of enlarging the space. Indeed, light colours are the essential elements to give a luminous and more spacious aspect to your bathroom. Choose light colours such as white, beige or other light shades on your walls, floor or furniture.
2. Use freestanding furniture to save space
Freestanding furniture is the ideal solution for small spaces such as your bathroom. They have many advantages: they are practical, aesthetic and make cleaning your bathroom easier by freeing up the floor. Choose freestanding basins, which provide both storage and free up floor space. The installation of a freestanding toilet also seems to be a good way to save space. The fact of having furniture without legs, gives the illusion of larger spaces and gives the appearance of a purified room.
3. Furniture with storage
Favouring furniture with integrated storage units saves space and optimises storage. Furniture such as Krion® floor-standing basins are ideal for maximising space. Their integrated storage units save space and storage space. Wall-mounted columns are also very practical and efficient elements for saving space and storage.
Building wall-mounted cupboards is one of the most effective and judicious solutions for not losing any space and for having a maximum of storage.
4. The mirror as a decoration
The installation of a mirror is essential in a bathroom. The mirror is an ideal solution to give an aspect of size and depth to a room. The mirror will reflect the light, which will give the room a more spacious look. In addition, adding a light fixture above your mirror will add brightness to your room. Favour the installation of white LEDs, which will light up the room as much as possible.
5. Optimise every space with custom-made furniture
The installation of custom-made furniture remains the best solution to optimise the space in your small bathroom. Having a piece of furniture with a freestanding basin made to the dimensions of your choice is the best way to make the most of your space. That is why at VASCOPLAN we make all our furniture and basins to measure in order to adapt to your needs. From colour, shape and/or size, we are able to fulfil your wishes for your furniture.
6. Installing shelves
Shelves are a practical element that we tend to forget and neglect. Wall-mounted shelves are an efficient and easy-to-install way to save space. They also serve as decoration. Consider installing them above your toilet or in narrow places where you can make the most of the space.
There are many ways to hang them on walls nowadays without having to cut holes in the walls, if that's why you're reluctant to do so. There are double-sided adhesive tapes, suction cups, and special glues designed specifically for installing small furniture items.
7. Opt for a walk-in shower
Walk-in showers are ideal to give this effect of size, by their aestheticism with their flat floors. Favour the installation of a glass pane, in order to enlarge the room, the glass allows to extend this spacious effect in the room. In addition, walk-in showers are easily adaptable in length or width. It is practical to clean because of its flat surface and does not have any hard-to-reach corners.
The Italian shower is practical because you will be able to evolve over the long term with it thanks to its practicality. It is suitable for all types of people, as it is easy to access: elderly people, children or people with reduced mobility.
8. Sliding doors
Installing a sliding door is the solution for not losing any space. It allows you to enjoy every inch of your bathroom. No more loss of space due to the door folding down. The sliding door is trendy and can be fitted to any wall or piece of furniture. It can be very practical, especially when installing built-in cupboards.
