How to get the most from your small bathroom

When ripping up the bathroom and getting the builders in to extend isn't an option then try these cheaper ideas and tricks to improve the space in your small bathroom.

1. Try a double shower instead of a full size bath or if you love a soak fit a small space saving bath with shower over.
2. Optical illusions, lay larger tiles diagonally. Narrow tiles on walls to give appearance of length and height.
3. Pale cool paint colours on walls and preferably a white/off-white ceiling.
4. Fit a wall mounted vanity unit or utilise space under basin with a cupboard. Having a pedestal sink can also open up space.
5. Slim storage units.
6. Fix your cabinets to the walls use the space higher up instead of taking up floor space. (Above the loo is a good option - mind your head!)
7. Wall hung toilets or basins save floor space.
8. Try a low profile shower tray.
9. A frame-less shower or wet room can create a feel of more space. If this isn't an option throw away the shower curtain and fit a clear glass door.
10. Use mirrors to bounce light and give a sense of space, position two on opposite walls or opposite a window. Another option is to cover the whole wall behind the basin with a huge mirror.
11. Use the back of your door! Hooks and rails for towel and dressing gown storage. Add a shelf for towels above the door.

Enjoy your new spacious bathroom!
