Whether you’re aiming for a modern, minimalist look or seeking practical solutions for daily functionality, these ten life hacks will guide you on your journey to creating the perfect bathroom oasis in compact quarters

Maximise Vertical Space

Install floating shelves above the toilet for storing towels and toiletries, or consider a tall, slender cabinet for additional storage without taking up valuable floor space. Figuring out how you will use your room and what is more important to you, will help to configure a layout. Are you a budding masterchef, always cooking and using your kitchen, or is it feeding time at the zoo for your tee

Mirror Illusion

Place a large, frameless mirror on one wall to reflect light and create the illusion of a more expansive area, enhancing the overall brightness and openness of the bathroom.

Compact Fixtures

Opt for a wall-mounted sink with a streamlined design, complemented by a space-saving wall-mounted toilet, freeing up floor space and giving the bathroom a sleek and modern look.

Focus on one pattern

Don’t be tempted to go all out with patterns in a smaller space. Think about where you want to place statements and be strategic. Put an eye catching pattern on the floor and keep the walls neutral. With the right wallpaper you can add texture details.

Light and Bright Colours

Paint the walls in soft, neutral tones like pale blue or light gray, and accessorise with white or light-coloured towels, shower curtains, and rugs to create an open and refreshing atmosphere.

Fixed shower panels

Consider replacing traditional swinging doors with a fixed panel, maximising the usable space and allowing for smooth transitions between areas without obstructing movement.

Transparent Shower Enclosures

Choose a frameless, transparent glass shower enclosure to maintain an airy feel, allowing light to pass through and giving the impression of a more extensive shower space.

Strategic Lighting

Always try to aim for natural light if possible as it will make your space appear bigger. If your space lacks windows. Install a combination of recessed ceiling lights for general illumination, wall sconces near the mirror for task lighting, and LED strips under cabinets for subtle ambient lighting, creating a well-lit and functional space.

Hidden Storage

Integrate recessed shelves into the wall next to the mirror for discreet storage of toiletries or install a mirrored medicine cabinet with hidden compartments for a seamless and organised appearance.

Minimalist Decor

Select a few decorative elements, such as a stylish soap dispenser, an aesthetically pleasing bath mat or rattan baskets, a potted plant, or a decorative tray for organising essentials, ensuring a clean and visually pleasing aesthetic without overcrowding the space.
