Embracing the cosiness of a small bathroom doesn't mean compromising on style and functionality. At The Sink Warehouse, we specialize in turning compact spaces into inviting havens. Whether you're navigating the tiny home trend or simply working with limited space, our design team is here to offer solutions that maximize your bathroom's potential. Let's explore how you can transform your small bathroom into a stylish retreat without sacrificing comfort.

Space Design Magic:

Reimagining your floor plan is the first step to creating a spacious feel in your small bathroom. Our seasoned design team has encountered various challenges and can recommend innovative space-saving options to enhance your bathroom layout. Consider these space-maximizing tips:

1. Utilize Interior Wall Space (create cavities):

- Create attractive niches on interior walls to display and store essentials.

- Opt for wall-hung toilets and storage solutions to free up floor space, providing the illusion of a larger area.

2. Strategic Placement of Fixtures:

- Position bathing facilities against the furthest wall to maximize space.

- Choose compact designs for fixtures like storage racks and sinks to optimize functionality.

3. Tile Tricks:

- Lay tiles on a diagonal to create the illusion of a larger room.

- Extend the same tile design from the floor into the shower stall for a seamless, spacious look.

- Floor-to-ceiling wall tiles add height, making the room feel more open.

Keeping it Simple and Spacious:

1. Patterns and Colours:

- Opt for larger patterns to give the room prominence.

- Choose a light colour palette or pastels to create brightness and a sense of cleanliness.

- Avoid clutter by sticking to a complimentary colour scheme.

2. Doors and Lighting:

- Opt for sliding doors to save space, especially those utilizing a rail instead of a hinge. If you can use a sliding door, your room will feel so much larger.

- Illuminate the space with recessed lighting, wall sconces, or cove lighting to create the illusion of higher ceilings.

Mirrors and More:

1. Maximizing Mirrors:

- Incorporate oversized mirrors to reflect more of the room.

- Hang vertical oval or arch mirrors to elongate the space and add some extra class.

- Experiment with mirrored surfaces on fixtures and installations for increased light reflection.

Smart Storage Solutions:

1. Clever Storage Hacks:

- Make the most of vanity storage if you have one OR…

- Use lower shelving under sinks for a clutter-free look.

- Install shelves over the toilet to create additional storage without sacrificing space.

- Embrace vertical storage solutions like floating shelves and shaving cabinets to utilize wall space efficiently.

Basins, Showers, and Bathtubs:

1. Compact Basins:

- Opt for floating vanity with vessel basin or space-saving pedestal basin.

- Consider wide basin that has less depth for large families, offering plenty of shared space.

- Use clear glass enclosures or curtains to maintain an open and airy feel in the shower space.
