Join the bathroom space age
IF you’re searching for some top bathroom tips, Emily Skinner, sales director of online estate agent Cityscape, has come up with some great ideas to create the illusion of more space, along with the latest trends and colours, storage and furniture to fit: ●● Create a wet room
Small spaces can benefit greatly from getting rid of a traditional space-swallowing shower tray and opening door.
It’s important to install this professionally as the drainage needs to be on a gradient with the floor, primed and waterproofed properly.
Not only is this look space-saving but it’s very modern, stylish and easy to clean. ●● Love the luxury of a bath, but don’t have the space to accommodate a full-size one?
Half-size compact tubs are a great option, smaller in length but just as wide and often deeper, allowing you to sink down and relax. These can have rounded corners saving even more room as there are no jagged corners sticking out. ●● Add a towel rail around your sink if wall space is limited – or find a sink that incorporates a stylish towel rail as part of the pedestal.
This rustic design is very on trend but also convenient.
Bath towels can be placed on shelves or rails above the bath which is typically dead space. ●● Mirrors everywhere! It’s no secret that mirrors create space, and it’s no different in the bathroom.
When relaxing in the bath, twinkling candles will sparkle against the mirrors creating a peaceful atmosphere.
If your bathroom is long and thin, use mirrors horizontally to widen the space.
If the room is square, use long vertical mirrors to create height.
