The fact that we do not have enough space at home and our bathroom is small is not a reason why we cannot enjoy a functional, comfortable and aesthetically pleasing bathroom. The key to renovating a small bathroom in an optimal way is to choose the furniture and the functional and decorative elements appropriately, in order to save space.
With our advice and your good art in the world of DIY, we are sure that you will be able to turn your small bathroom into a pleasant, practical, and charming space.
Tip 1. Choose Towel Racks That Are Not Too Bulky And Hang On The Wall
The towel rail is a very practical and important element in any sink, which we should not do without. In order to gain space and prevent our bathroom from looking too cluttered, we have to ensure that the towel rails are not bulky and that they can be hung on the wall.
Above all, do not put one standing in a small bathroom because it will take up valuable space that you could use for other purposes, and also, it can be a nuisance.
we recommend the Koros or Alessano ring towel rail, as they are small, very aesthetic, and have the advantage that they can be hung with adhesive tape. Thus, they are the ideal solution if you cannot make holes to put the screws if you live in a rented apartment and the landlord does not allow it.
Tip 2. Place A Large Mirror
A trick that always works to make a space feel spacious is to hang a large mirror, and bathrooms are no exception. If you put a large mirror in a small bathroom you will achieve the subjective but effective effect of making the space appear larger. Do not make the mistake, which is quite common, of buying a small mirror because you have a bathroom of, for example, 2×2 meters.

Tip 3: Choose Small Bathroom But Functional Furniture
It is obvious that the furniture in a small bathroom has to be small. But yes, at the same time they must be functional, practical and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. A good option for this is a custom built shower such as Shower Lagoon glass showers which can fit in with your existing bathroom.
We do not recommend hanging or suspending furniture because storage space is lost. On the contrary, as long as the structure of your bathroom allows it, you can install built-in cabinets. They have the advantage of being practical, and aesthetic and allow you to make the most of space.
If you can’t or aren’t interested in getting involved in construction work, we recommend these two Imandra items that combine, in a single piece, the sink and a piece of furniture integrated into the floor: one with a cabinet and the other with drawers.
Another alternative is furniture whose front is a mirror, ideal for optimizing space with a piece that is doubly practical and with everything integrated.

Shower screen or shower curtain? For a small bathroom, without a doubt the first option due to the following advantages:

- of marble dust. These types of shower trays have good impact resistance and provide stability and firmness. They easily adapt to any space, they are non-slip, extra-flat, reaching about 3 cm thick, which makes it easy to install them at ground level.
In addition, they incorporate a treatment that prevents slipping. You have to be very careful when cleaning: no special product should be used to avoid damaging the anti-slip product. It should only be cleaned with soapy water and vinegar.
Tip 6: Sufficient Lighting And Avoid White
Lighting is another key factor in any washbasin. A small sink must have good general lighting and, in order to generate a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere, it is convenient to place other points of dimmer light, focusing on specific areas.
Other recommendations are to avoid white light and choose that they have a Kelvin (K) between 3000K and 4000K, since they illuminate enough and, at the same time, create a pleasant sensation.
