Struggling for space in your bathroom? Don’t worry, a small space doesn’t have to mean cramped or cluttered. With a few smart choices, you can create a compact bathroom, cloakroom or ensuite that feels stylish, comfortable and surprisingly spacious. From clever layouts to compact toilet designs, here are five space-saving ideas to help you make the most of your small bathroom.
1. Wall-Hung or Fully Shrouded Toilets
Wall-hung toilets are mounted off the floor, with the cistern hidden behind the wall into a dedicated wall hung wc frame. This not only creates a clean look but also opens up valuable floor space, making the room feel larger.
2. Slimline, Corner and Short Projection Toilets
Short projection toilets are designed to take up less room by reducing how far they extend from the wall. These models are ideal for narrow spaces or small cloakrooms. Slimline cisterns and pans can further reduce bulk. For awkward layouts, a corner toilet can be a game-changer, fitting snugly into a corner to free up more space elsewhere in the room.
3. Toilet and Sink Combination Units
Toilet and sink combination units are perfect for tight spaces. By combining the WC and basin into a single, compact unit, they offer a practical solution that’s ideal for cloakrooms or small ensuites. Many designs even feature integrated storage, helping to keep surfaces clutter-free.
4. Back-to-Wall Toilets
Back-to-wall toilets offer a neat and minimal look by positioning the toilet pan flush against the wall, with the cistern concealed either within the wall or inside a furniture unit. This helps to save space, while still allowing for easier access to plumbing compared to wall-hung designs. It’s a stylish and practical choice for modern small bathrooms.
5. Toilets with Side Cut-Outs for Soil Pipes
Some toilets feature discreet left or right cut-outs at the rear, designed to accommodate sideways soil pipe exits. These models allow the toilet to sit closer to the wall while neatly covering pipework, removing the need for additional boxing in. This not only saves space but also creates a cleaner, more streamlined look that works particularly well in smaller rooms with limited plumbing flexibility.
With the right design, even the smallest bathroom can feel both stylish and spacious. Explore our range of compact toilets at the UK Bathroom Store to find the perfect fit for your home.
