How to Arrange a Small Bathroom? Clever Solutions

We won't try to convince you that you can furnish a comfortable and functional bathroom with a bathtub, a separate shower, a dryer, and a toilet in just 4 square metres. We don't have miraculous recipes for expanding a bathroom. However, we do know one recipe for what you can do with a microscopic bathroom: love it and furnish it wisely. And that's what this article is all about!

In small bathrooms, there's usually not enough room for a larger countertop for cosmetics next to the washbasin. But don't let that discourage you; you can always carve out a bit of space! Choose a washbasin model with a built-in cabinet underneath where you can hide your essential cosmetics or detergents. If your bathroom has an irregular shape, use alcoves for built-in cabinets or shelves – if necessary, have them custom-made. It's an investment that will surely pay off! Hang shower caddies and bathroom shelves in less obvious places – even above the bathtub or... on the door handle. Also, consider a mirror with a shelf to conveniently store your most needed items always at hand.

In a small bathroom, functionality is paramount! When every centimetre in your bathroom is worth its weight in gold, items that combine several functions will be an excellent solution – for example, a toilet roll holder with space for a WC brush or with space for detergents. Or perhaps you could swap your mirror above the washbasin for a cabinet with mirrored doors? The bathroom's functionality won't suffer, and you'll gain additional, unexpected storage space for cosmetics or personal care accessories.

If you're short on floor space, find it on the wall! Why stand things when you can hang them? Many essential bathroom accessories are available in wall-mounted versions, such as toilet roll holders or WC brush sets. But that's not all – if you don't have much space around your washbasin, you can opt for wall-mounted soap dispensers and toothbrush holders. Are you worried about drilling into walls or tiles? For those who don't like to commit to anything permanent, models equipped with suction cups are ideal, allowing them to be attached to the wall without drilling. In the FormAdore store's offer, you'll even find cosmetic mirrors that you can easily mount on the wall, and if needed – detach them and pop them into your bag for a trip. Quick, convenient, practical – after all, that's what design is for, to make your life easier.

You're bravely fighting for every centimetre of space in your bathroom, and we're telling you that even a clothes airer can fit in a small bathroom. How is this possible? It's very simple: when there's no more space on the walls and floor, use the ceiling! We love freestanding clothes airers and appreciate how much laundry they can hold, but small spaces require different methods. So, if you lack space for a traditional airer, look for clever clothes airers: those that hang on doors, above the shower tray, or even freestanding ones that lean against the wall. These compact clothes airers will work not only for their intended purpose but also for towels.

And finally, we have to talk about the hardest part – sometimes you have to give something up. Sometimes that something will be a bathtub, and sometimes... room to move around in the bathroom ;-). So, if you absolutely cannot give up long baths and won't swap your bathtub for a shower, perhaps you can be persuaded to move the washing machine to the kitchen or even... to the hallway, if it's near the plumbing stack? Decide what's most important to you, and furnish a bathroom that will be not only functional but also beautiful. Good luck!
