- Optimized Wash Basins
Wash basins can often take up more room than necessary in a compact space. Here are some smart ideas to reclaim that floor space:
- Integrated Sink on Toilet: Installing a sink on top of the toilet combines two functions in one.
- Round or Smaller Sinks: Opt for a compact, round basin to save square footage.
- Corner Basins: Place the sink in a corner to use adjacent wall space, making the layout feel more spacious.
- Smart Shower Solutions
The shower is often a focal point in ensuites, so using the right setup is key:
- Wet Rooms: Open-layout wet rooms create the illusion of a larger space without partitions.
- Corner Shower Enclosures: A quadrant or D-shaped enclosure maximizes functionality while preserving room flow.
- Creative Storage Hacks
Every wall, corner, and nook offers potential storage options:
- Under or Above the Corner Sink: Utilize the space above or below a corner sink with shelves or cabinets.
- Vertical Shelves Above the Toilet: Install slabs or hooks above the toilet for extra storage.
- Wall-Embedded Cabinets: Submerge storage inside walls to avoid protruding features.
- Expand Space with Illusions
Small ensuites don’t have to feel cramped. With these tricks, you can visually expand the space:
- Mirrors: Full-height mirrors create depth, making the room appear larger.
- Lighting: Use ample ceiling spotlights or wall-mounted lights to brighten the space.
- Neutral Colours & Large Tiles
To achieve an open and airy feel:
- Neutral Tones: Opt for whites, greys, or light blues for walls and ceilings. A uniform color scheme enhances the sense of space.
- Large Tiles: Cover walls and floors with large tiles for an uncluttered, expansive look.
