1. Take stock

In order to make the most of a small bathroom, it’s important to consider some important details, such as who is using the room, how often, and what you need to maximize the space.

According to Darren James of Interior by Darren James, if it’s a second family bathroom, storage and more durable finishes should be a top priority. On the other hand, if it’s a powder room or a guest bathroom, it’s likely to be used, and thus the focus can shift to creating a more luxurious feel.

Where space doesn’t help you much, you’ll need to consider all the angles. Make sure you allow adequate clearance for the bathroom and shower doors, and don’t forget about vanity unit doors, too. A good option would be to choose a sliding door because it’s not intrusive and can be pushed back when not in use.
