Thought you couldn’t have an en suite in your small space?
Think again.
It is achievable and as you may know, having your own bathroom means convenience, any time of day or night. Plus, if you live in a family home, an en suite provides you with a great deal of privacy, giving you your own sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of the family bathroom during the morning rush.
Need another reason?
An en suite adds value to your home.
If you decide to sell, potential buyers will admire this feature, and it may be the determining factor in their choice to buy.
However, you may be asking yourself, “how can I have an en suite? I don’t have room.” This is not an uncommon concern but one that can be overcome.
Read on to discover five en suite ideas for small spaces our team have come up with.
1. Minimalism is your friend. Less is definitely more. Focus on the key bathroom fixtures that you need – a shower and/or bath, basin, mirror and toilet. Scale back on the decorations and trinkets, and concentrate on the basics. Our design team is always sure to highlight this fact when they sit with you.
2. Storage is key. When you’re short on space, clutter is the enemy. Naturally, we all have bathroom essentials, but leaving them strewn on any accessible surface is not the only option. That’s where vanity units come in. Widely available and designed in a huge variety of styles, they are real game-changers. They typically have integrated basins, killing two birds with one stone. Shelves are also
incredibly useful, utilising wall space instead of floor space. We can show you a range of vanity units in our showroom.
3. Keep it light. When it comes to colour schemes, it’s best to avoid bold colours, dark shades, and patterns if you want to give the illusion of space. Your best bet is to opt for pastels, beiges, or whites instead. Colours like these absorb and reflect light and make the room seem bigger. Don’t believe us? Have a look at our Instagram page for some ideas.
4. Create space. Aim to be strategic with your choice of fixtures. You might consider a cornered toilet, a basin with attached storage space, and a shower instead of a bath.
5. Accessorize. Bathroom accessories enable you to show off your personal taste, and don’t have to be left out just because of a lack of space. You can have a lot of fun with your choice of taps. You might prefer a mixer tap for a vintage look, or traditional pillar taps for a traditional style. What’s more, towel warmers, towel hooks, and toilet seats are all important components of individual style.
