Bathrooms are very often small, whether in a flat or a house. You therefore need to use a few tricks to optimise these small areas and give the illusion of a larger room to avoid feeling cramped within this room. Find our tips for saving space in your mini bathroom.

Optimising every space in your bathroom 

It's necessary to design your shower room intelligently in order to save space and maintain a relaxing atmosphere within this room. You can use a few tricks to optimise every corner of your bathroom and therefore create extra storage. But be careful not to overload this room, which is already small by design. Store your towels and linen in your dressing room and keep only the items you need for everyday use in your bathroom. To keep the floor space as free as possible, you can opt for wall-hung shelves. You can place them above your door or your WC, for example. These are spaces that can systematically save you space if they're fitted out correctly.

Furnishing your shower room with made-to-measure furniture

The space-saving tip par excellence is the use of modular furniture. This trick is even more valuable in a bathroom, which is a smaller room and therefore more restrictive in most cases. Made-to-measure gives you the opportunity to choose the dimensions of your furniture down to the millimetre, and in particular their depth. In a shower room, we suggest you opt forshallow depth furniture, which will therefore take up less space. You can customise the interior layout of your made-to-measure furniture to optimise it and ensure that it meets your needs perfectly. Tailor-made bathroom furniture also allows you to design your room according to its layout and constraints. For example, if you have a niche in your bathroom, we suggest you optimise it with a modular cupboard.

Exploiting the walls of your bathroom 

You need to avoid cluttering up the floor space in your bathroom as much as possible. You can therefore choose to make use of the walls in your room to create extra storage without obstructing the passageway. Opt for a wall-hung vanity unit to free up floor space and make cleaning easier. The same is true of a wall-hung cupboard or a wall-mounted shelf, which will make it easier to move around your bathroom. 

Opt for a space-saving washbasin 

The washbasin is an essential element in a shower room. It can be cumbersome and waste space in a small room. Retailer PlusDePlace.fr offers various space-saving solutions for your bathroom, including ingenious washbasins. 

‍

1. Position your washbasin over your washing machine 

If you have a washing machine in your bathroom (or even in your utility room), you can save space by positioning your washbasin over it. There are 5 different models of space-saving washbasin that can be adapted to several washing machine models. These washbasins have an offset siphon at the back: this allows the washing machine to be installed underneath. Choosing this installation will save you a lot of space while allowing you to install a washing machine even in a small flat.

2. Position your washbasin above the bath 

If you're lucky enough to have a bath in your bathroom, you can optimise the room by positioning your washbasin above the bath. The use of these two elements will be both comfortable and very practical. The bathtub actually acts as a shower bath and therefore has all the advantages and comfort of a bathtub while still being practical to use on a daily basis. The washbasin comes suspended above the footwell of your bath so as not to impede its comfort while providing a comfortable space to wash your hands.

The choice of colours in a small bathroom

The choice of colours needs to be thought through, particularly within narrow bathrooms where you need to give the illusion of a larger room. Light colours, and white in particular, are perfect for brightening up and enlarging the space. You can also opt for bright tones sparingly to personalise and energise the room. What's more, the choice of colours in your shower room allows you to make it stylish and pleasant despite its small size.

Asymmetrical baths, ideal for mini bathrooms

Would you like to incorporate a bathtub into your mini bathroom? Taking a bath even in a small space is possible, you just need to use a little ingenuity. Opt for an asymmetrical or curved bath to lighten the visual impact of the space. Place your bathtub in a corner and choose an asymmetrical bathtub. Your PlusDePlace bathtub will not only keep your bathroom free of clutter, but will also give it an original, modern look thanks to its curved shape. Finally, prefer  a bathtub set with integrated washbasin above to save a huge amount of space within your bathroom while retaining the luxury of having a bathtub in this mini room.
