Using a small bathroom sink is just one of the options that one may like to consider to get the most out of the space available if your bathroom, like mine, isn’t particularly spacious.
If the time has come for you to redesign the smallest room in your house then grab yourself a pen and a paper. With just a bit of careful research and some logical thought you will be able to create a space that fulfills all that you require of it.
Remember that there is a huge difference between a bathroom that is genuinely big and one that simply gives the illusion of space. Obviously, here our focus is in trying to make the space you have appear as large as possible without calling in the builders!
Small Bathroom Sink
Having a space with a convincing illusion of being expansive won’t help you fit lots of fittings in so the trick is to source reduced size items, such as a small bathroom sink and a three quarter length bath. Decorate the space using a light colored, ceramic tile. Try to stick to large tiles. The cumulative effect will be that of a simple and uncluttered space, thus expanding it to the eye.
When complimenting the ceramic tiles, remember the old trick about using mirrors to reflect light around the space. Don’t be tempted to go overboard though, as the effect will be rather overwhelming. Rather like a hall of mirrors!
The next step is to get a shower enclosure with glass sides, so as not to break the eye-line in the room. For similar reasons, try to avoid the traditional wall mounted bathroom units. Instead, go for low level floating units. These are fixed to the wall and for a really professional touch can even be underlit.
Whatever you choose, don’t be tempted to skimp on storage space as you don’t want reason to leave clutter about in your space.
A further innovative solution to gain some extra space may be to think about replacing the traditional bathroom door with a sliding panel. With this solution, the entire arc that otherwise has to be left clear for the door to swing in can be utilized. The door can be open by sliding it along a wall or, better yet, into a cavity wall void.
However small a space you find yourself working with, there is no end of possibilities in creating an inviting and functional space. Space saving fittings such as a small bathroom sink are part of the answer, but a creative and considered approach will take you the final mile.
