Take it outside

There is nothing to say that you can’t take some of your bathroom fixtures out of the room! A clever idea to ‘fit’ more in your small bathroom is to use the area directly out of the bathroom’s door. Having a custom-built seat, shelves or cupboards out of your bathroom will give you more space inside it for the shower, basin and toilet!

Check out these Before & Afters

  • Bath removal adds more space

Janeen Paynter, our Hutt Valley and Wellington East affiliate, is an expert on bathroom renovations. She's certainly done enough of them in the time she's been with Pzazz Building. She enjoys renovating smaller bathrooms most, she says, because they present more design challenges.

“No matter what size the bathroom, you've still got to fit in the same things – a vanity, shower, toilet and often a bath,” she says. 
“To make sure a smaller bathroom really works for its users, you've got to be more creative and smart about the layout and fittings.”

Take this bathroom, for example. The original vanity took up too much space and the shower, while it fitted nicely in the corner, leaked badly, necessitating that lovely blue shower curtain and big green absorbant bath mat. By installing a frameless glass shower, Janeen created the illusion of greater space in the bathroom.

Again, the use of a frameless shower enclosure instead of the nasty pink-framed one at left has opened this bathroom right up. And the new bath, vanity, built-in towel rails and gorgeous colours has given it a warmer, more contemporary feel. 
  • Dark bathroom becomes lighter

This little bathroom was dark and damp and nobody liked using it, until Janeen worked her magic and recreated it. Even with a bath that wasn't there before, the room looks bigger and more welcoming. You can't quite see it from the photo at right, but the bath is also now the shower and is square-bottomed for safety.
