Renovating a small bathroom requires creative thinking. Luckily, we've done all the thinking for you, with these clever space-saving bathroom ideas that'll rock your world.

Many (if not most) of us have a bathroom that we’d consider “small”. However, with the average UK bathroom size around the 2.4 x 2.7 metre mark, your own space may not be as small as you first thought.

Overcoming space issues is something that has been puzzling and intriguing product designers for years, and here at Victorian Plumbing, it’s no different. To help you make the most of any small space, whether it’s a cloakroom, ensuite or main bathroom, we’ve come up with the following cleverly-designed bathroom products.

 

1. Combined toilet and basin

If you’re trying to squeeze an extra cloakroom, ensuite or bathroom into the tightest of spaces, this cleverly-designed combination toilet and basin might just be the best thing you’ve seen in a while!

2. Corner unit

Corners are incredibly underused spaces, especially in small bathrooms.

Made from hardwearing stainless steel with a sparkling chrome finish, there's plenty of space to hang a towel and store spares for your guests.

 

4. Vertical shower bar valve

It’s not just around the basin or toilet where space issues occur. Often, shower enclosures or shower baths can feel a little restricted, especially if you choose a bar valve shower.

Well, we’ve thought of that too…
