How to design the ideal small bathroom with German bathroom furniture

Your bathroom is one of the most important parts of your home. Whether you need it as a sanctuary; a place you can spend hours relaxing after a stressful day, or a room you’re dancing around getting ready to hit the town, a well designed bathroom can be a perfect place to set the tone for your evening.

Having a smaller bathroom can be quite challenging. You want to create the look and feel of a modern, sophisticated bathroom. You want the key features of a stylish, well designed bathroom. But can you create the space to do it? Using German bathroom furniture, you can.

Built with the world renowned precision of German engineering, German bathroom furniture helps  you match the style and feel of the bathroom you’ve always wanted, while helping you make the most of every inch, corner and floor tile available.

In this quick guide we’ll take you through some easy design tips and tricks, using German bathroom furniture, that you can use to design the ideal bathroom for your home, regardless of the space you’ve got to work with.

Floating vanity units

In a large bathroom, a floor based vanity unit doesn’t look out of place. But if you’re dealing with a smaller area, a floor unit can quickly start to look bulky. A floating vanity unit on the other hand can create the illusion of having more space than you really do. 

By allowing light in the room to bounce off the floor under the unit, you can create the feel of having more floor space than you do, without sacrificing the size of your vanity unit.

Make the most of storage with German bathroom cabinets

One thing you definitely need to keep in mind when it comes to a small bathroom, is how you’ll manage your storage. Too much storage and you won’t be able to move freely around the space. Too little, and you’ll quickly find yourself in a cluttered space.

An easy way to deal with this, is to build upwards – rather than building out – with the use of vertical storage units. Longer medicine storage cabinets or slimmer, vertical bathroom shelves, give you the same level of storage of bulkier cabinets, but help create the feeling that you have a bigger space.

Light up your German bathroom

Proper lighting is one of the best ways to create the feeling of having a bigger bathroom space than you really do. This doesn’t just mean the overhead lighting, this means lighting the entire room. One simple way to create the illusion of size and space is using LEDlight mirrors.

Coupled with smart technology, these lighting features allow you to create any kind of lighting you need to match the space you have.

Pelipal’s LEDrelax lighting, for example, comes with more than 16 million mood enhancing colour shades and 50,000 white options that can be controlled via voice, app and even remote control.

By pairing this kind of smart lighting technology with features like floating vanity units and vertical storage, you can easily improve the look of your German bathroom and create the feel of a bigger space.

Get creative with your storage space

Avoiding clutter is a big part of managing a small bathroom, and sometimes you have to get creative when it comes to finding and using storage space. 

Consider how to make use of the empty space behind doors, or look how to use hidden space behind your vertical mirrors or cabinets.

Pelipal‘s mirror storage combo can be a great way to add extra space.

Look at your small bathroom layout

There are some essential things you will need in your bathroom. A bath and/or shower, a loo, a washbasin, some storage. After that, you’re adding extra features that could just be taking up space you don’t have.

Consider using individual, vertical wall cabinets that can be hung from the wall beside a floating vanity unit. You’ll save space under the units and free up the floor space (creating that illusion of a larger area) and help reduce clutter.

By combining mirrored cabinets and storage units you can also get the most out of your space without adding additional features that will just take up more room.

Finishing your small bathroom the right way

How you finish your small bathroom will have just as big an impact on the feel of the room than the units you install. 

Dull or dark colours will quickly dampen the effects of good lighting. These will also leave your room feeling even smaller than it actually is.

Instead, focus on finishing your small bathroom with reflective materials.

This will help make the most of your lighting, helping light bounce off the surfaces and around the room, giving you a much warmer feel to your bathroom and adding to the illusion of extra space.
