Whether you’re revamping your existing bathroom or putting in an en-suite, space can often be compromised.  Here are our tips to help you maximise the space:

• Take a look at our beautifully sleek, space saving range which is slightly smaller than the norm.

• If you can, install fixtures with ‘backs to the wall’ so that all the workings are hidden.  This will give the room a more spacious feel.

• Wall-hung toilets and basins can also help as they don’t reach the floor – giving the illusion of more free space.

• Be radical and swap your bath for a shower.

• If you must keep the bath, replace your shower curtain with a glass shower screen.  Being able to see through the glass panel will add to the visible width/depth of the room.

• Install underfloor heating, which can replace your radiators to heat the whole room – creating more wall space.

• This free wall space gives more room for cabinets – Keeping toiletries and cleaning products out of sight helps to make the room look bigger.

• If there is no space for this, invest in some stylish containers for everyday toiletries.  Make sure they retain the overall style of the bathroom.

• Decorate in neutral colours, especially if the room is short on natural light.

• Tile from floor to ceiling so that there are no breaks in wall coverings, even if it’s only one or two walls.

• Add task and accent lighting to make the most of the space.
