Consider a Floating Toilet

Wall mounted toilets are becoming increasingly popular, and it’s clear to see why. They can save a lot of space over traditional toilets, and are a lot more aesthetically pleasing. The tank is inside the wall hidden from view, whilst the bottom of the toilet does not touch the ground. So, they don’t take up any floor space so it’s easier to keep the area underneath clean. This style of toilet will give your smaller bathroom an overall more spacious feel.

Minimalist Shower Designs

The shower is another big part of your bathroom redesign, so it’s important to choose the best one for your needs. If you have a smaller space, consider a minimalistic shower, such as a walk-in design with a glass screen. This will open up your bathroom, and is easier to use for those with mobility issues too. Another possibility for ensuite shower rooms for those who prefer enclosed showers is the frameless enclosure. These require less space than a walk-in shower but still provide the same feeling of more open space.

Ensuite Storage Units

Storage is another important part of bathroom design. Storage needs vary from family to family, so think about how much storage space you need in order to determine the best options available. Multifunctional pieces are ideal, such as mirrored cabinets or heated towel shelves, which offer more storage space than traditional towel radiators.

If you want to go for strong colors or patterns, be sure to stick to just one focal point to avoid clashing and overcrowding. Some people like to choose stronger designs for the floors whilst keeping the walls more minimalist, which can be a fun and effective way to style your bathroom.
