Very tiny bathroom
Comments (2)I like be the arched window frame! Change the loo seat to a white one and sand & paint the bath panel white then you can add a pop of colour with your towels!...See MoreVery small bathroom
Comments (5)Hi there, We're very used to designing small bathrooms (there are a lot of houses in our area with even smaller spaces!), so don't feel too phased! When planning your bathroom (especially a small one), you first need to look carefully where the waste will need to exit (and to a lesser extent, where your hot & cold water will be fed from), as this may limit your layout a little. Door position, hinge side and whether it opens in or out are also crucial! To maximise your space and make it feel lighter/airier, I'd recommend the following: Use a 1600w bath with plain glass screen and modern, chrome/stainless shower over. Add a short run of furniture with a back to wall toilet and a rectangular basin to maximise space. Mereway and Trend do some beautiful furniture in both 220mm and 320mm depths which are ideal. Add a lovely lit mirror above the basin to add a sense of space. For a little "luxury", why not ensure it has a bluetooth speaker built in so you can listen to some tunes? The difference in cost is minimal, but the benefit more than worth it! Keep all the walls completely flat (any boxing out or step-outs just highlight a small space) and use large format tiles in "landscape" orientation, picking whites/very light tones with maybe just the slightest hint of texture or pattern. Pick large format matching tiles in a slightly darker tone for the floor, or wide planked laminate flooring (such as Karndean Palioclick) designed for bathroom use. I'd pick whites or light greys for walls/floors and keep furniture plain and gloss "slab", then add just a restrained touch of colour in your fixtures/accessories. Seek out your local friendly independent bathroom showroom for lots if ideas on how to make your small bathroom work for you. Have fun!

Comments (16)Hi Ffion, I have to agree with Thelma Henry Interiors. Use a large format wall tile, even 450 x 900 to have as few grout lines as possible. Porcelanosa do several pale grey tiles, Rodano Acero 80 x 80 cm, Nápoles 44 x 66 cm, and others. Paint an "old" white above to match the white of your floor tile. Make sure there's enough contrast between the paint colour and the white of the sanitary ware to avoid having the walls look dirty. Hope that's useful....See MoreMelissa S
