Consider whether a galley or one-wall design could work in the space available. By concentrating all of the fixtures and fittings on just one wall you can provide easy access and create the illusion of space. If height\u2019s on your side, why not think about overhead storage too?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This streamlined and clutter-free design successfully distracts from the bathroom\u2019s narrow attributes by utilising modular furniture with counter top sinks and a boxed in bath.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3984\" style=\"width: 385px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3984\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-3984 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.livinghouse.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/narrow-bathroom-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"narrow-bathroom-1\" width=\"375\" height=\"501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.livinghouse.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/narrow-bathroom-1-1.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.livinghouse.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/narrow-bathroom-1-1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3984\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Desire to Inspire<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Beautifully proportioned<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If a one-wall design is impossible or feels too cramped, utilise the narrow end of the bathroom to feature either the toilet or the shower.
