How to create more space in your bathroom!

On average, you spend 2.2 years of your life in the bathroom. Despite the amount of time we spend there, the bathroom is usually one of the smallest rooms in the house. So how can you efficiently store everything you need? In this blog, you will discover how to make the most of a small bathroom and create a much more spacious feel.

1. Does everything in the bathroom really need to be there?

An average bathroom measures approximately two by three metres, so space is limited. A shower can easily take up a quarter of the room, followed by the washbasin and possibly a toilet. This often means that half of the available space is already occupied. Take a good look around and consider which items genuinely need to be stored in the bathroom.

Do you have a washing machine or tumble dryer in your bathroom? Try moving it to another room in your home. An attic or small spare room can be a suitable option. These rooms are often filled with belongings that are rarely used, making this the perfect opportunity to declutter them.

You do not necessarily have to throw these belongings away. You can also place them in external storage. At ALLSAFE, you can store twelve moving boxes from just €1.40 per week. Whenever you need your belongings again, you can access them seven days a week.

Do not keep embarrassing medicine or ointment containers in the bathroom

Did you know that 70% of visitors have looked inside someone else’s bathroom cabinets? People can be curious and may search for embarrassing or private products. It may therefore be better to store these containers in another room. This saves space in your bathroom cabinets and keeps personal items away from curious guests.

2. Bathroom shelves are your best friend

Bathroom cabinets can quickly take up a lot of space. They may also be the wrong size or not suit the style of the room. A few sturdy shelves can create a warm and attractive appearance while helping you keep everything organised.

Because shelves do not have doors, it is more difficult to hide clutter or squeeze too many items onto them. Everything remains visible, encouraging you to keep the space neat and tidy. Shelves can also be cut to almost any size, making them suitable for virtually every bathroom.

3. Floating bathroom furniture makes the room look larger

Floating bathroom furniture keeps the floor visible, making a small bathroom appear more spacious. Shelves already contribute to this effect, but a wall-mounted toilet and floating washbasin are also popular choices.

4. Choose a bath with a narrow base

Many people dream of having a bath but assume it will take up too much space. However, this is not always the case. Special baths with a narrow base are available for small bathrooms. They help you save space while still allowing you to relax with a book or some music.
