Case Study 1
The Problem:
My shower room is tiny and the sanitaryware seems to dominate the space. Can I really fit any storage into this small area and how can I create a look that is timeless so that I don't need to keep re-updating?
Mrs Clarke, Hertfordshire
The Solution:
The open shelving that you currently have between the WC and basin can tend to make the room feel even more cluttered than it is, but there are ways of introducing storage into even the tiniest of spaces.
Because Shades' vanity units are reduced in depth (200mm deep) a vanity unit will fulfil some of your storage needs without protruding into the room too much. I would suggest you fit a vanity unit which can sit neatly next to the concealed cistern toilet. This will give an uncluttered, streamlined look, immediately making the room feel bigger. The reduced depth cabinet offers great storage and reveals more floor-space, again adding to the feeling of space. Have a look at our Country range - the beautiful, yet simple, design of the doors combined with a pearwood countertop can give a stylish contemporary look perfect for understated elegance.
Don't forget that you can also use the wall space to facilitate extra storage. Why not hang wall units above and to the side of a large Shades mirror? The mirror will again help to create the illusion of space while the wall units will offer fantastic storage in an often-ignored space. And if you still want that personal touch, think about including an open shelving unit which will allow you to display some pretty accessories.
The bathroom planner will help you plan the new layout of your space by including the relevant WC, basin and bathroom storage units.
