A small bathroom can still be a lovely one. It's all about a few smart choices — here they are.

A small bathroom isn't a problem, it just needs planning. Get the layout and the choices right and even a tiny room can feel calm, bright and easy to use. Bathrooms are Declan Gent's speciality, and making the most of tight spaces is one of Dec's favourite challenges.

Making the most of the space

  • Lose the bath if you don't use it. A wet room or walk-in shower frees up loads of room and feels far bigger.
  • Go wall-hung or compact. A wall-hung toilet and slim basin free up floor space and are easier to clean around.
  • Light and bright. Larger, light-coloured tiles and a big mirror make the room feel more open.
  • Hidden storage. A vanity unit under the basin keeps clutter out of sight.

Little layout wins

Keeping the toilet, basin and shower roughly where they are saves money on moving pipework. A corner basin, a sliding or pivot shower door, and a heated towel rail that doubles as storage all help a small room work harder. Not sure what'll fit? That's exactly what Dec's free quote is for — he'll tell you honestly what will and won't work in your space. See more on bathroom fitting or en-suites.
