Do you hate your small bathroom? There are\ncountless solutions to transform it and make the most of your limited space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A functional bathroom needs some space for\nyou to move around without issues, about 150cm in front of the bathtub or\nshower and approximately 80cm in front of the WC. When dealing with small\nbathrooms even 1cm counts. A small bathroom<\/a> can pose challenges even to an\narchitect, especially when you also have to stick to a budget. So how can you,\nwith minimum designing experience, arrange your bathroom\u2019s layout to fully\noptimise the floor space?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find out the tips we share on how to do a bathroom makeover<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Re-align all the items<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A great solution is to place the bathroom items in a row, the bathtub\/shower, the sink, and the toilet. This type of distribution makes space<\/a> look more organised and it magnifies it. Architects state that this alignment creates a natural flow and makes space look more inviting and cosy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you place the heavy bathroom pieces on\ndifferent walls, you will notice some large wasted areas, and wasted space is\nthe last thing you want in a small bathroom. Well, if you align the items on a\nsingle wall, you will achieve a large functional space you will have no\nproblems to use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\nshould install the larger pieces at the bottom of the room<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One solution to maximise the space is to\nplace the larger items like the bathtub or shower away from the door. It will offer the\nillusion of more floor space<\/a> and it will gain you more square feet for\nmoving.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The way you arrange the fixtures highly\ninfluences your perception of the space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should replace the old bathtub with a\nshowering area because it will create a cleaner bathroom geometry. Use a\nbathroom screen to isolate the area during showers. This trick will help you\ndesign an attractive and neat space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A glass door is the best solution to\nisolate the shower area from the rest of the space. Your eyes will perceive the\nentirety of the room, and it will maintain this impression even when you will\nshower. A glass door will bring a sense of spaciousness and light to the\nbathroom that will make it look larger.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose a smart bathroom distribution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the layout of the bathroom,\nyou can make some choices on how to install the fixtures to gain more space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long\nand narrow spaces<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best alignment for this type of\nbathroom is the one that features all the elements on a wall. Place the shower\nat the bottom of the room, it will create the impression that she space is more\nbalanced. When placing the toilet and sink on the same wall you create enough\nspace for the door to open. Because all the pipes are installed on a single\nwall, the bathroom\nrenovation project<\/a> will prove cheaper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
