If you’ve got a bathroom that’s a little limited on space, then don’t worry. When it comes to basins, you’ll want something that’s large enough to be practical, but small enough to not overwhelm the bathroom.

Thankfully, there are a number of tips and tricks to get the most out of your space.

HOW MUCH SPACE DO YOU HAVE?

We can give you all sorts of advice when it comes to choosing stuff for your bathroom, but if we had to give you just one, it would be to measure your bathroom before you do anything else.

Knowledge is power, and that couldn’t be more the case with your bathroom. Don’t get caught in the trap of buying fittings and hoping you can adapt them into the space. Knowing how much space you’ve got to work with in the first place can save you a lot of time and stress in the long run.

DON’T LIMIT YOUR DESIGN

A common misconception is that if you’re limited on space, you’re limited in style and choice too, but this isn’t the case.

This means you don’t need to settle for something plain, even if your bathroom is less than generously proportioned. Whether you’re going for a design that’s so cutting edge it could be an avant-garde art installation, or a traditional, vintage aesthetic, you’ll find that there’s a space saving basin for you.

LOVE THOSE CORNERS

Don’t save your bathroom corner for a plant or laundry basket. If you’re really pushed for space, then a corner is the perfect spot for a space-saving basin.  Corner basins are a great use of the space that might otherwise be used for the aforementioned pot plants and give you plenty of practical space, without intruding on the bathroom.

FREE UP SOME FLOOR SPACE

If you’ve got a less than generously sized bathroom, then you can create the illusion of space by opting for wall-mounted fixtures. Wall-mounted basins are quite the god send in a small bathroom, as they free up lots of floor space that would otherwise be taken up by a pedestal. Additionally, a half pedestal gives the impression of more elevated space, and because they’re wall-mounted, they help make cleaning the bathroom a breeze!

OPT FOR A WASHBOWL

As we’ve said before, don’t let your limited space limit your design. In fact, you can really push the boat out and go for a totally new look by fitting a washbowl instead of a basin.

These aren’t wall-mountable, but you can make a swanky feature out of them by sitting them on a vanity or drawer unit.

Remodelling any bathroom takes a lot of careful planning, but smaller bathrooms have their own set of challenges with space being so limited. With a bit of creative thinking and some forward planning you’ll certainly find the right basin for the space.
