How to double the storage space of a small bathroom

First of all, what size is a "small bathroom"

A bathroom must meet three basic functions: washing, toilet, and bathing. If one is missing, it must be a "small bathroom". And each feature is professionally sized:

Shower room: no less than 850 x 850mm

Toilet: not less than 850mm on both sides, not less than 1200mm in front and back

Wash Basin: length not less than 900mm, depth not less than 600mm

Modules smaller than these sizes are considered small bathrooms!

The mainstream "small bathroom" is divided into two categories: "square" and "strip"

Square ≤ 1600x1600mm, long strip ≤ 1500x2000mm are all small bathrooms



How to make a small bathroom fully functional



1. Satisfy storage (small things can be placed on the wall, use the gap for storage, below the washstand, above the toilet, washing machine cabinet, custom large mirror cabinet)

2. Solve the problem of not enough space bathroom (functional partition, relocation and merging of basins)

3. How to place a bathtub in a small bathroom (diagonal layout, downsizing, combined Shower Set)

How to make a small bathroom fully functional



1. Satisfy the storage

Conditional can do built-in mirror cabinet
Toothbrush and toothpaste, Toilet Brush, small appliances, can be hang on the wall by the Bathroom Accessories Holders.
Make an alcove, so that all personal care products are stored in the wall
Above the toilet, washing machine cabinet, below the washstand, these spaces are also can be used
Use empty gaps for storage
Using a column basin requires less space, and the toilet paper that is stocked can be placed in other cabinets.

Customize a large mirror cabinet, such a mirror cabinet can not only expand the sense of space, but also expand the storage space, and the overall sense of the whole bathroom is also very good.



2. Solve the problem of grabbing the bathroom

-1. Functional division

Most modern couples have to go to work. It is estimated that 60-70% of the owners either rush for the washbasin or the toilet in the morning.

The practice of Japan, a neighbor with limited land resources, is to separate the washbasin from the toilet, which is worth learning from. The washbasin for washing hands after the toilet is chosen is a super miniature type. Men can also use it to wash their hands after taking a toothbrush, toothpaste, and a razor. Perfect solution in 5 minutes!

-2. The basin is moved out and merged

However, the problem is that when the child goes to school in the morning, 2 washing spaces seem to be insufficient. How can it be broken?

According to professional statistics, 5 of our 10 daily behaviors in the bathroom are related to the washbasin: washing hands, washing faces, putting on makeup, shaving, and looking in the mirror, and the frequency of use reaches 12-16 person-times/day. In a word

As long as we find another place with a basin, we can solve most of the functions of the bathroom

Then everyone can think of the kitchen and the balcony laundry area. The kitchen is definitely not suitable, because it is unsanitary in the same environment as the food, and the balcony laundry area is a good choice. Move the washbasin to the balcony.

The hostess has a lot of skin care products and cosmetics, which takes up to 15-30 minutes, and it is inconvenient to go to non-private spaces in pajamas. Therefore, the washstand of the main bathroom can be determined to be used by the hostess.

The male host can usually solve the problem with towels, toothbrushes, and razors, and even without hot water; in addition to the child may need a small stool, install a small kitchen treasure, which is enough for washing. Therefore, the relocated basin can be used for the male host and the chil to use.

-3. How to plug a bathtub in a small bathroom (diagonal layout, downsizing, combined shower)

Diagonal layout

Some units cannot have sliding doors, and the bathroom swing door is often opened inward, so the bathroom door cannot be opened, and it will hit the toilet/washing table. Then, using the principle layout of the longest diagonal of the "triangle" opens up a new idea.


Reduce the size

Choose compact bathtubs, washbasins, bathroom cabinets


Combined Shower Set

The shower is installed above the bathtub. For ultra-small bathrooms, especially if you want to install a bathtub, it is also a solution.
