Gaining space in small bathrooms

Those of us who live in apartments and small houses seem to have little space at first glance, but we can have much more potential than we think. So that lack of space is not a problem, we show you some inspiring ideas with practical and ingenious solutions to make your bathroom seem larger and more spacious.

Minimalist balconies

The “less is more” philosophy can be very practical when we apply it with simple shelves sized just right to accommodate the sink and small items. Furthermore, if we opt for models with hidden anchors, we will make cleaning the area easier, as we can see in the renovation and interior design work in a Penthouse in Eixample that Paglialongastudio created. There you can see the Solid Surface Sink Polaris.

Mirrors to create a sense of spaciousness

Mirrors become allies in bringing more light to interior spaces. The study Aedificare strategically placed a large oval mirror in Kiss so that the light reflects and bounces in the space. Above a suspended piece of furniture, we can see the Vienna sink.

Make the most of small spaces

Any corner can become a storage area with ingenuity and creativity. That's what BÄSE Interior Design in your project “Mitre”where you can see how shelves were placed in a small alcove that has been turned into a bookshelf. On a suspended cabinet, the Brussels model. We can also see it in this Loft by Joma Exclusives where they have made use of two gaps in the bathroom to install shelves, as well as Rio sink.

Wall-to-wall shelves

A shelf can fit into any corner and be very useful. To make the most of every inch, you can place it from wall to wall to create a countertop for the sink and make grooming easier. BÄSE Interior Design inspire us again with the “Valencia Project”where we find two shelves along the entire space to accommodate the Bali stone sink as well as all the bathroom utilities.

Another good example is provided by the study by Helena Tarrés and David Ramió in “Single-family house CX”where we again see shelves from end to end. In this case, they chose the model New porcelain lily.

The same is true in Clysa's work in “The oak as the protagonist”where the New Cuenca countertop sink is seen on a black countertop.

Custom furniture

If there's one thing that allows you to make the most of space, it's custom furniture, and if it has full-extension drawers, you can see all the contents at a glance. They also cover the siphon and the pipe opening, which isn't very attractive. When furniture is suspended, you can place boxes or baskets underneath and turn it into an extra storage area. This is how we see it in the Valls Taberner Project from BÄSE Interior Design Where was the Santoña sink installed on the red cabinet with the white countertop?.

Useful add-ons

Seeking allies is synonymous with success, and that's why there are many accessories that will allow you to best organize your bathroom utensils. A cart that can be placed under the sink can help on a daily basis to keep everything you use frequently at hand. We see this in This bathroom of Dimensi-on where can one see the Nordic sink.

Concealed faucets

It is well known that concealed faucets are another element to consider for effective small bathroom decoration because they free up space in the sink area and integrate into the environment without getting in the way. The in56interiorismo studio applied this in their project Orah House with the matte black porcelain sink Dinan for the one that can be installed Athenas faucets.

Curved furniture

Something as simple as removing the corners of a piece of furniture will provide more usable space in a small bathroom. This can be seen in the Ca La Rosita Restaurant created by Carlos Martínez Interiors, who chose curved furniture for the restrooms to support the Vienna sink.

Wall-hung sinks

The great advantage of installing a wall-hung sink is its adaptability to any space, large or small. They are mounted directly to the wall and do not need to be supported by furniture, which results in enormous space savings. Below are two examples of the Clysa team that installed the sink. Alicante.

Wall-mounted sanitaryware that lightens the space

Wall-hung toilets are gaining ground in the bathroom. They don't have a base and are fixed to the wall, which gives them a great visual lightness, making them perfect for small bathrooms. This is evident in the bathrooms from the renovation carried out in the Vi Square, Almeda and in “The old carpenter's workshop”by FFWD Architects.
