THE BATHROOM

 A mirror-fronted wall cabinet is a practical solution in a tiny space. Choose an illuminated design for a good light and clear view.

 Adjustable wall shelving gives you the option to chop and change (see left).

 Slim wall cabinets with shallow shelves keep everything on view so unused bath accessories or cosmetics don’t accumulate at the back.

 Wall-mounted furniture (see left) completely frees up the floor area to give a more spacious feel.

 Fitted furniture optimises space, creating a sleek, co-ordinated look – and is low-maintenance with no hard-to-clean corners.

 A countertop basin – as opposed to an integrated one – leaves more room for storage inside the vanity unit it stands on.

 Units with a variety of shelves, cupboards and drawers allow you to display more decorative accessories, and hide other items away.

 Opt for a dual-fuel towel rail that’s connected to the central heating and also has an electrical heating element to warm towels in summer when the heating is off.

 Don’t rely on just one towel rail in a busy bathroom. Install wall-mounted rails by the basin, bath and shower to keep plenty of towels always to hand.

 Tall units with a small footprint make the most of the vertical space available, but don’t take up much floor area.

 Corner shelves can make good use of a redundant area. Boxes, baskets and pots will organise the contents and keep them tidy.
