Small downstairs cloakrooms are ideal for an extra toilet, but decorating such a restricted space can prove a real challenge. Here, we discuss some of our top tips to help you make the most of yours, no matter how tiny.
Bespoke fittings
The biggest issue you will have with a downstairs cloakroom will always be the limited room for storage and utilities, which is why space-saving fittings such as combination and corner units can make an impact.
Some benefit from combined toilet and sink units, which not only look ultra-modern but are also a great way of maximising floor space.
These sleek installations can be purpose-built to hide unsightly pipework that would ruin the contemporary aesthetic.
Slimline furniture, toilets and sink units can also be installed to fit into smaller rooms without overwhelming limited space.
They can be installed as wall-mounted toilets and sinks, or with a sink neatly tucked into the corner, to help the room feel bigger.
Plus, they provide additional storage solutions for toilet rolls, toiletries and cleaning products.
Mirrors
Mirrors make any room appear larger by reflecting light and creating the illusion of depth, even in a downstairs cloakroom!
By installing a large mirror across a wall, you can create an illusion that the room extends further than it does, making it feel less cramped.
Equally, some spaces cannot accommodate large mirrors because of awkward angles, or just simply a lack of wall space.
In those instances, you can also use a series of smaller mirrors on one wall.
This will not only help to make the space look bigger and brighter, but it creates a modern decorative centrepiece.
Storage solutions
Storage is important for downstairs cloakrooms, not only for bathroom essentials but also for everyday items like shoes and coats.
More often than not, a downstairs cloakroom becomes a space that is quickly cluttered with items that either don’t have a place or need to be hidden from immediate view.
Appropriate storage solutions can they have somewhere to go and will be properly organised, no matter the size of your cloakroom.
This can be achieved with bespoke cabinet and drawer units that innovatively use both wall and floor space to keep things ordered.
