Making the most of a small world

The bathroom is usually the most limited room in the house. Kya deLongchamps offers 10 tips for a small bathroom.

THE less room you have to work with, the harder every available centimetre has to perform, but with some forward planning, less really can be more. A small bathroom can stir the senses and succeed as well as a sprawling spa set over metres of marble. Hotels know how it’s done. Next time you’re away, take in that tightly managed environment. A wall-hung toilet, a gorgeous sink set in a slender counter with a shelved recess containing a massive mirror, lovely unifying tile, flattering lighting and perfect ventilation. Invariably the bath doubles as a shower. Invest in the best quality you can afford with any small space as you’re covering less square metres for the final finish. It’s the installation that’s really going to cost.
