How To Design The Perfect Small Bathroom

Designing the perfect small bathroom can be a challenge. You might think it’s easier as you have less space to think about but when you’re trying to incorporate all your desired elements into a small space, you may discover it’s really not that simple. Here are some top tips from our plumbers in Perth on how to design the perfect small bathroom.

 

How To Design The Perfect Small Bathroom

 

Floating Vanity

Choosing a floating vanity unit helps create the illusion of more space. By not connecting the vanity with the floor, it makes your small bathroom appear bigger.

 

Large Mirror

Instead of adding a small mirror to your small bathroom, consider adding a large mirror that runs along the whole vanity. Alternatively, if your bathroom is really small, you could run a larger mirror along a whole wall to make it feel like the room is twice as big than it actually is.

 

Glass Shower Doors

Another way to create the illusion that your bathroom has more space is to install glass shower doors instead of opaque ones or using a shower curtain. Being able to see all the way through the shower will help to make a small bathroom feel bigger.

 

Towel Rail

To save wall space, add your towel rail or hook directly onto the shower door. It keeps your towel right where you need it and saves valuable wall space.

 

Wall Mounted Taps

By mounting your taps in the wall, instead of your basin, it takes up less space on your basin and vanity unit. It also looks pretty cool!

 

Forget The Double Sink

You may have your heart set on double sinks but they will take up heaps of space. Installing one large basin or trough-style sink that is mounted on the wall, you can save lots of space and still have a trendy yet functional bathroom.

 

Matching Tiles

Instead of choosing different tiles for the floor of your shower and the floor, carry the same tile throughout the flooring. It doesn’t break up the flow of your bathroom and makes your space appear bigger.

 

Creative Storage

Get creative with your storage solutions! There are so many clever ways to incorporate storage in a small bathroom these days.

Add recesses in your shower wall or around your bath for your toiletries to save them being on the floor or sticking out on a shelf.

Add drawers in your vanity instead of shelves to use your space more effectively.

Use towel hooks instead of rails that take up more space than they really need.

How To Design The Perfect Small Bathroom

What’s Your Current Home Style?

Your bathroom should match your overall home style.

It would be odd to create an ultra-modern bathroom in a country home with vintage styling.

However, it’s not a room you want to be renovating just because your décor has changed, so think about whether you’ll be updating the rest of your home to a different style in the near future too.

If you’re going to be renovating and redecorating your home soon, tie in your new bathroom style with your plans for the rest of the home.

Who’ll Be Using The Bathroom?

Another big consideration is who will be using the bathroom, now and in the foreseeable future.

Will it be used just for you and your partner?

Does it need to be a family bathroom that the whole house can use?

Do you have any elderly people in your home and therefore have to consider their needs as they age as well?

Who uses the bathroom can very much affect the style of bathroom you choose.

How Much Space Do You Have?

We’d all love a bathroom that easily accommodates everything we want in it, but sometimes we’re restricted by the space available.

Look at how much space you have available, and work out what you can physically fit in the bathroom. You might want a shower and a separate bath, but it might not be possible to do.

A good bathroom renovation specialist will do their best to build in clever features and storage to help you pack as much into your bathroom as possible without making it feel overcrowded.

What’s Your Bathroom Renovation Budget?

As much as you’d like to splash the cash and only have the best of the best for your bathroom renovation, it’s good to have a budget in mind that works for you.

Our bathroom renovations team in Perth can help you design and estimate the cost of your bathroom renovation so there are no nasty shocks along the way.

What Can’t You Live Without?

Think about the elements you can’t live without while planning your bathroom renovation.

Are twin sinks non-negotiable? Could you live without a bath if it meant more room for a larger shower?

Make a list of your must haves and nice to haves before you start getting bathroom renovation quotes.

What Bathroom Style To Choose

Classic Bathroom

A classic bathroom style is ideal if you don’t want to update your bathroom again for a while. Use one or two colours, with no bold patterns that could date easily.

Go for formal yet elegant fixtures and fittings, nothing overly dramatic or bold.

 

Modern Bathroom

Modern bathrooms use sleek materials like glass, stone, and stainless steel.

Avoid clutter, keep accessories to a minimum and keep lines clean.

Modern bathrooms often use bold patterns or colours – see what’s on trend in bathrooms and take your inspiration from that.

 

Shabby Chic Bathroom

Shabby chic is still a popular bathroom style. You can mix and match different elements and then use a single colour to link all your elements together.

It exudes a comfy lived-in look, so shop around at second-hand stores and markets for interesting pieces to add to your bathroom.

 

Country Bathroom

Country style bathrooms are ideal for rural properties. Using light wood for some of the key pieces in your bathroom like vanities and towel rails, you can really bring your country look to life.

If using fabrics, go for striped, floral or plaid patterns.

Bring some personal touches to the bathroom with vintage accessories or furniture like high-backed chairs and freestanding tables for your sinks.
