How To Maximise Space In Small Bathrooms

Everyone loves a big bathroom, but more often than not it simply isn’t possible to devote a huge chunk of living space to a room that is used for only a few minutes a day. In fact, some residential properties are designed with tiny bathrooms in mind: in student housing or halls of residence, bathrooms tend to be on the smaller side so as many individual flats as possible can be squeezed into the available space. In hospital accommodation for nurses, bathrooms are a purely functional resource: a private place to wash at the end of a frantic or tiring shift.

When space is a premium, a full-size bath is a luxury. Leakproof shower pods, however, offer fantastic space-saving convenience without compromising on style, durability, or cost, as we’ll explain in this article.

The Challenges Of Showering In A Small Bathroom

When you have minimal space in your bathroom, you need a space-saving solution that overcomes several challenges. Residents need to be able to enjoy a relaxing shower in comfort, so taking advantage of the available space in the bathroom is critical. Showers need to be easy to clean and maintain, as restricted space may make it difficult to crouch down or access hard-to-reach areas. And, because even small bathrooms vary in size and layout, a standard shower size or design may not always be suitable.

How Self-Contained Shower Pods Can Make The Best Of Limited Space
