7 of the best bathroom space savers

Bathrooms can so easily become cluttered, but carving out a zen space to relax in is key and there are plenty of bathroom space savers to make your bathroom feel bigger and brighter. Here’s how to make the most of a compact bathroom, cloakroom or ensuite with space-efficient fittings and accessories.

1. Wall-mounted taps

A wall mounted tap frees up space on the basin or bath ledge, leaving you more room for toothbrush, tumbler and soap. This Big Bathroom Shop tap comes in durable solid brass and has a mixed tap with a brushed copper finish. Wall-mounted taps also give better flexibility for countertop basins with no tap-holes. Prices from £159.99.

2. Small footprint storage

This Margo Bathroom Storage Tallboy from A Place for Everything has a small footprint, which allows it to be used in the most compact of bathrooms but it still has plenty of space for towels, toiletries, loo rolls and cleaning products. The combination of open and closed door storage also means you can keep everyday items close to hand while hiding away the clutter. Prices from £175.

In an elegant ash wood finish, the Esun Shelf with Mirror from Tom Raffield is made in Cornwall from steam bent ash and brings together two functions in one piece.

6. Adjustable holder

Save space on the shower tray in a compact shower cubicle by keeping your shower gel and shampoo within easy reach on Ikea’s Brogrund Shower Shelf. Chrome-plated, durable and easy to clean, it suits any décor and can be easily adjusted in height thanks to the flexible bracket while water drains through easily through holes in the bottom. Prices from £12.

7. Corner design

Corner basins make great use of this often-ignored area of the bathroom. Roper Rhodes’ Zest 450mm corner basin from Drench is made from high quality fireclay ceramic and comes with a single pre-drilled tap hole for a monobloc mixer. Its contemporary style and rounded form suits both modern and classic decors while a back-to-wall or wall-mounted WC will complete the look, whether for a family bathroom, cloakroom or ensuite. Prices from £229.99.
