Clever Design Solutions
Wet Rooms: Maximising Space and Style
A wet room is a great option for small loft bathrooms. Eliminating a shower enclosure helps to keep things open and modern. This style ensures the shower tray is hidden under floor-to-ceiling tiling, which looks very impressive and also eliminates any tricky areas to clean. Moreover, built-in shelving and inset-tiled seating deliver a hint of luxury as well as function
In our experience, clients find them both stylish and a good use of space. For the Smith family, one of our clients had a pokey loft space transformed into a smart wet room with a rainfall shower and bespoke storage solutions creating an in-house spa experience.
Shower Over the Bath: The Best of Both Worlds
If you enjoy both a bath and shower but are limited in space, opt to have your shower over the bath. These days, more stylish setups provide modern solutions without ignoring old safety warnings. Shower baths, however, present the happy medium - a generously proportioned showering area at one end. You will be able to relax and enjoy a leisurely bath when you have time, but still take that quick shower if needed.
Smart Use of Space
Utilising Dead Space
Every single inch in a tiny bathrooms counts. Try placing the bath under the eaves as this is normally wasted space. Or consider installing a skylight overhead for bath time in the stars.
Corner Basins and Wall-Mounted Fixtures
Corner basins for small bathrooms are great as they save space and reduce clutter. Choosing a wall-hung sink or vanity can free up some more valuable floor space for the impression of a bigger bathroom. Moreover, wall-mounted toilets and cupboards leave the ground space free to give freedom of movement as well as a clear presentation for a more extensive appearance.
Declutter for a Sleek Look
A small loft bathroom can become easily overwhelmed with stuff. Only use what you need to keep a clean, elegant appearance. Small drawers and cupboards provide easy room for towels, toiletries, or cleaning products while additional built-in drawer storage can hide away any clutter. Cavity shelving in your kitchen or dining area solves the storage problem without eating into that coveted floor space. The hooks on the other side of doors are another very simple but good way to organise towels and bathrobes.
Storage Solutions
Built-In Storage
Small bathrooms are always tricky to find suitable storage. Built-in storage solutions, like cavity shelving or floating shelves for wonderful choices to make the most of wall storage. Fit shelves over the bath or above the door for extra storage which doesn't take up floor space.
Custom Cabinetry

Light and Colour
Maximising Natural Light
Natural light has the power to create an illusion of snatch Loft bathrooms skylights provide the perfect solution - flooding your bathroom with sky views and light. It is also beneficial to keep light floors, walls and fixtures so that the room does not feel closed in.
Reflective Surfaces
Mirrors and shiny tiles can make the space seem larger by reflecting light through the area. If your room is compact, you can install a big mirror above the basin (or go all out with mirrored cabinet doors) to make it appear bigger.
