Top tips for redesigning a small bathroom
There’s no getting away from the fact that not all homes are spacious – far from it! But there is a surprising amount you can do with small spaces, when you have the right knowledge and skills. Our team at Bournemouth Constructions are always happy to work on a refurbishment that involves transforming a tiny bathroom, and if you have the right design you could be surprised by how spacious it can feel and how luxurious it can look.
Homes & Gardens recently offered some top tips for tiny bathroom designs that will make the best use of the space you have available and look really stylish. One of the top pieces of advice is to invest in custom storage solutions when you only have a limited space. This means that you truly can make the most of what you have, particularly if there are any odd-shaped nooks and crannies or if you have any awkward corners that would benefit from being hidden or straightened out. If you have an alcove space in your bathroom, talk to your bathroom designer about how best to utilise it. This might be ideal for storage, or it could be the perfect niche for your sink or even a recessed shower, depending on the size of the alcove.
When we work on any bathroom refurbishment in Bournemouth, we always start by finding out what vision you have for your space, and then we’ll use our knowledge and expertise to guide you through the design process. Walk-in showers are also a good option in smaller bathrooms, especially if you are able to create a wetroom. This allows you to use one style of flooring throughout, which can help to make the space look larger. Fitting clear shower screens is another top tip to help make your bathroom feel less cramped. One of the joys of tiny bathrooms is the opportunity to inject some colour and pattern into the space. Patterned tiles can be a great way to lift the space and give it some more personality, while warm colours can make the bathroom feel more welcoming and less utilitarian.
According to an article on KBB Review, customers in the UK are spending 60 per cent more, on average, on bathroom refurbishments in 2022 than they were in 2018. Although product and labour costs have increased since the pandemic, it also appears that more homeowners are prepared to splash out to get a high-end bathroom for their home.
