Small bathrooms come in many shapes and sizes, with the space available being different for everyone. A common challenge when trying to furnish a small bathroom is that the room is just too narrow for standard furniture. The units can be too deep to comfortably open the doors and the sink feels like it’s pressed against you. Of course, the need for storage remains even with limited space, so finding solutions can be tricky.
Some bathrooms just feel too small in general, there’s no specific width or length issue, it’s just too small for comfort. Slimline furniture can help you out here as well, but if you can afford to use a little extra space for storage why not go for a regular vanity with a smaller width?
Limited floor space comes with a lot of different headaches. The room might feel too cluttered, bringing the room’s vibe down. It might make the room feel claustrophobic, meaning you’re unable to destress when taking some well-deserved ‘me time’. Thankfully there are a few solutions, the most effective of which is to use compact wall hung furniture. This design lets you reclaim some floor space, allowing light to reach underneath the vanity and give the illusion of a bigger room, magnify this this effect with an LED mirror for even more light. Plus, wall hung vanities look like they’re floating which, let’s be honest, looks unreal.
If fitting new furniture isn’t your vibe there are other routes you can take to squeeze more storage space out of your bathroom.
The cheapest and quickest way to gain some space is to throw away all of your unused toiletries! Come on, you know you have some, we all do. That bottle of Baylis and Harding hand cream you used once, get it gone. Your old toothbrush with bristle so bent you might as well use your finger, chuck it in the bin. That Lynx Africa set your Nan got you 3 Christmases ago, if you haven’t used it yet you never will. Alternatively, if you feel this is too wasteful you could always regift or donate! This is a good step towards only purchasing, and ultimately storing, things you actually want and need.
Our personal favourite storage solution is to use a towel radiator. This toasty solution provides you with all the benefits of a normal radiator whilst saving space where your towels would otherwise be stored AND it means stepping out of the shower on a cold morning isn’t as daunting knowing you have a cozy warm towel waiting for you.
