Keep doors, drawers and walkways clear
We check the movement of the room door, shower screen and vanity drawers before choosing the layout. A bathroom can fit on a drawing yet be awkward to use if these openings clash.
- Shallower furniture near the door
- Sliding or folding shower doors
- Storage above the basin
- Fittings chosen by their actual dimensions
Choose a bath, shower or combination
A shower-over-bath keeps both options in one space. Replacing the bath can make room for a larger shower. We explain what each choice means for washing, access and the remaining floor space.
Use light and finishes to open up the room
A larger mirror and good lighting can make a small bathroom feel brighter. Keeping the wall colours simple avoids a busy look. These choices help the room feel comfortable; they do not replace checking the actual clearances.
