space Maximize with a vanity unit that includes drawers or closet built under the pool - perfect for storing things you do not want on display. Choose a wall model, as here, so you can see as much ground as possible. This will create the illusion of more space.
Look shallow designs that do not take precious square inches or settle on a corner solution that rank in the corner.

Whether your preference is for a wall or back to wall toilets, shop for a short projection model -. some are 20cm shorter than the standard size to ensure the space is not wasted

slot in a shower
If you take a shower in a small space, consider a quadrant enclosure, which saves the floor space due to its shape: a quadrant comprising two sides of the same length and a rounded outer edge. A quadrant offset appears the same except that one side is longer than the other.
For more choices, see showers pentagon enclosure (photo), which looks like a square or a rectangle with a corner cut. It is less intrusive than a traditional square enclosure shower.

Choose the space-saving doors
When you 're on a mission to save space, every inch account. Shower doors that do not impinge on the space available include doors (available in both rectangular and shaped quadrants) and folding doors, where a glass panel folds over its sliding hinges (photo).
A pivot door is another option. Although it open outwards, because the far edge of the door pivots back in the shower, he needs to play less than a swinging door.

Work a walk-in
Installing a shower cabin cumbersome in a small room can sometimes be tedious. Why not opt for an open atmosphere with a walk-in shower? This includes a single pane of glass, teamed with a low profile or flush shower tray, creating a seamless transition between the floor area and shower. Alternatively, as seen here, you might end up with glass entirely.
"If you have the space, always try to go for a larger shower, so you can enjoy your bathing rituals," advises Agathou.
Another solution is to move from a shower tray for a waterproof membrane to water that is placed on the ground to create a waterproof barrier to water. The flooring is then laid on top. This is generally called tanking.

All your design decisions should be based on how you want to live, so if you prefer a long hot shower, there is a wide variety of shapes and bath sizes. "If you can not choose between the two, why not go for a bath with shower above - the best of both worlds," suggests Agathou.
While an average bath is about 170cm in length, you can save valuable space with a compact, measuring only 150cm. Alternatively a corner bath can make use of an otherwise awkward space.

"mirrors are always a good way to increase the feeling of space. You can buy mirrored bathroom cabinet that doubles as storage, too, "says Agathou. "If you have the luxury, a skylight or window will also increase the feeling of space and light, opening the room.

Build in intelligent hideaways
One of the best ways to maximize the sense of space is to keep the surfaces clear of clutter. "Mirror cabinets allow you to store products and charge toothbrushes and electric razors," advises Chris Payne Ripples.
Tall wall cabinets will free up valuable floor space, while the vanity basin units in all shapes and sizes, so choose a design that best suits to your storage needs. And why not follow the example of these owners and turn the vacuum in your bath into a small drawer?
"Personalisation is a huge factor with regard to the bathroom," says Payne. "Be smart with storage and really factor in your usage and lifestyle."

Simplify your space
Matthew Hill, Sigma London is a strong advocate of creating a streamlined look in a small space. "Simple, fluid lines will visually elongate the room, while breaks in the line of the wall often visually decrease, he said.
Avoid too much breaks in your bathroom can mean making use of the space between the studs in the walls. "Building on the depth of the wall to maximize space but minimize the visual impact on the room," says Hill.

Add details with open shelves
Bring some personality by making a feature of your favorite lotions and potions in the open storage. "Niche storage will also allow you to store bottles discreetly in the shower, says Payne.
If you can not build niches in the wall, consider glass shelves, which tend to be less intrusive and non-transparent alternatives. Keep in mind that open shelves will need style, so they look clean and tidy, as well as serving a purpose.

Create cosiness with a dark shade
It is commonly accepted that light colors make it seem larger room, but sometimes it can simply announce its small size. "Sometimes it's just good to accept the space is small and build on the benefits. The feeing of the enclosure may result in a cocoon of mindset. In this case, the dark tiles with a mixture of textures can work brilliantly, "advises Leigh Bowen 50 Degrees North Architects.
"Ideally, choose the large format tiles to avoid many cuts and distraction grout lines," he added.
