Bathroom in a Box: Solutions for space saving in your smaller bathroom

It is not always the case that beautiful, luxurious bathrooms require a lot of space. We have created some of our most impressive designs in rooms that appear to be on the small side. Whether your bathroom is longer than it is wide, or a perfect square, we can advise you on what will work best.

This bathroom that we designed and installed in Lymm has been created using 400mm by 400mm tumbled travertine. The measurements of this room are 4m x 1.5m.

Our customer required a shower room which ensured her safety due to difficulty with balancing on her feet. Here, we have fitted a sunken metal tray with etching on the surface for additional grip.

Space saving techniques employed in this room include a heated towel rails fixed to the wall. Their sleek appearance complements narrow rooms and not only are they practical, they add to the contemporary look. There is also a concealed cupboard  behind the mirror.

The traditional, white suite installed in this bathroom is from Fired Earth.

Nature's gift: Terracotta Tiles

Terra Cotta – from the Italian meaning “baked earth". These beautiful tiles in shades of red and brown can bring a warm look to any floor in your home. It can also be combined with stone, wood or other materials. The limit is your imagination.

Terracotta is resistant to sunlight, maintaining its colour unchanged over the years, even in places of great exposure and it is resistant to shock and temperature changes.

The floor is easy to maintain, sweep or vacuum regularly to remove all dirt and use a care product such as “Lithofin Easy Care”. General household cleaners may be too aggressive and are likely to damage the sealants and finishes applied.

For most domestic floors it will be necessary to apply additional coats of wax from time to time. The frequency will be dictated by the wear the floor receives. If a build-up of wax becomes visible, reduce the frequency of waxing. Likewise, if the tiles are marking or look dull and dry, increase the frequency.

If the idea of a warm floor appeals, then consider the installation of under-tile heating. Radiant heating is extremely efficient and the lack of moving air can also be advantageous to people with severe allergies.

The tiles shown in the photograph are from Fired Earth.
