How to arrange a washing machine in a small space?
When decorating a small bathroom with a washing machine, start with... a good plan. Even the smallest room must have a toilet, bathing and washbasin area. It is worth using proven tricks that help cleverly fit a washing machine into a small space and optically enlarge a small bathroom. Designers often build the washing machine in line with the lower cabinets and cover it with a countertop. A great idea is to put the device in a niche that cannot be used in any other way.
In that case, you should choose a model with the right dimensions. You can mount shelves or a cabinet above the washing machine. This will allow you to make maximum use of the available space. A custom-made wardrobe will work great in a small bathroom – reaching all the way to the ceiling. It is worth dedicating one column to the washing machine and its upper part to shelves for detergents. You can finish the wardrobe with a mirror front. This will allow you to visually enlarge a tight room, brighten it up and improve the appearance of the bathroom.
Remember that even in a very small bathroom you can fit a standard washing machine, although narrow top-loading models are usually more practical. Modern devices offer quite large drums with compact dimensions.
Don't know what to do with your washing machine? Arranging a small bathroom with a laundry area may not be very practical. In such a situation, consider placing the washing machine in the kitchen, utility room or hallway closet.
An interior designer will help you with the design of a small bathroom with a washing machine. Using the services of a professional, you will avoid leaving unused space, choosing non-functional equipment and other significant design mistakes.
How to choose the right shower shape for a small bathroom?
In small bathrooms, shower cabins with a slim shower tray are often much more convenient to use than microscopic bathtubs. However, avoid massive structures. Opt for minimalist shower trays and modern, visually light cabins that do not overwhelm the interior, but optically enlarge it.
If you have a free alcove, it is worth arranging a walk-in shower cabin in it – without a shower tray or with an ultra-slim shower tray mounted on a level with the floor. Creating a walk-in shower cabin requires the installation of a special linear drain, which is not possible in all apartments and houses without a general renovation.
Are you looking for a traditional shower cabin and wondering about the optimal shape of the shower? Compact, low semicircular shower trays work great in small bathrooms, such as the semicircular shower tray 80x80 . Match it with a semicircular cabin with sliding doors made of transparent tempered glass. You can easily arrange such a shower in a difficult-to-use corner.
Proper planning of storage space
For a small bathroom to be truly functional, it must have a place to store cosmetics, accessories, cleaning products, towels, etc. In the washbasin area, install a countertop washbasin. You can use almost the entire cabinet for storing things. Go for 2-in-1 products, i.e. those that perform more than one function. An example is an opening mirror. Avoid heavy and dark freestanding furniture. Try to fill free spaces, e.g. above the washing machine, with shelves. In the toilet area, the space above the flush-mounted frame is worth using for a cabinet up to the ceiling.
