Wednesday, March 01, 2017 Big Ideas for Small Bathrooms


Most families get ready at the same time every morning and adding a bathroom complete with a shower can certainly alleviate possible daily drama and increase the value of your home while you are at it!  However, if you don’t have a lot of extra space, visualizing where to install it can be challenging, but you’d be surprised how little room you need to make it happen.
Here are our big ideas to convert small spaces into a new functional bathroom:
Colours and mirrors
Use colour and light to make the space seem larger and consider combining a soft colour palette with dark accents, which helps to create balance while visually enhancing the space. Oh, and think about using large mirrors as they help reflect more light and instantly give the appearance of depth.
Hide it
Use compact tankless and wall-hung toilets such as the modern SANISTAR from Saniflo. Its self-contained toilet system saves space and can be mounted on any sturdy wall.
Store it
Floor to ceiling cabinets create the illusion of vertical space while providing maximum storage. Consider a slim vanity or a pedestal sink – they add a unique touch without taking up too much space.
Meet half way
Lose the shower to save valuable square footage and create a cozy powder room instead.
Frame it
A focal point draws the eye and takes attention away from the cramped quarters. Consider an interesting art piece or a decorative mirror.
Use your imagination
Look for those awkward or unused spaces like closets or the area under the stairs to install a new bathroom. The SANIACCESS2, a quiet macerating pump system from Saniflo, is ideal for installing a toilet and sink in small spaces such as these.
