SPLIT PERSONALIT­Y

Why have two itsy bitsy rooms when one combined space that serves as both your bathroom and laundry not only feels roomier, it is roomier? You’ll find it the ideal solution for a home with a small footprint.

22 SO VERSATILE

By removing walls to merge two rooms into one, the larger floor plan allows for both a character bath, here a clawfoot tub, and a separate shower. To give the space presence, opt for a strong, yet muted, palette of dark green and white, a timber-look floor and marble.

23 GOOD VIBRATIONS

Install smart sliding doors to conceal your laundry nook, and utilise a stacking kit to evenly distribute the weight of your dryer on top of a front loader washing machine. It also absorbs the vibrations of both machines when in use so your dryer won’t topple off its perch.

24 IN PLAIN SIGHT

A wall-mounted basin with a stylish chrome waste pipe offers unrestrict­ed sight lines to the wall, increasing the illusion of space. As for storage, squeeze floor-to-ceiling narrow shelving between the laundry nook and basin. The globe lights and brass round mirror add the glam factor.
