A good place to start is by selecting the right fixtures.

2. Washroom Basin

The right basin will fit well in the space you have and will provide the functionality you need. Wall-mounted basins are also ideal for small Washrooms.

This type of basin draws more floor space into the room. It also makes the room look bigger. If there is more than one person using the Washroom, consider a double basin.

3. Mirrors

The right Washroom mirror can completely transform a space and make it look more

functional. Position the mirror above the Washroom furniture and basin.

Position the mirror in the ideal location to make it accessible to everyone. Also, make sure it doesn’t take up too much space. Ideally, a large mirror should be placed in a prominent location to reflect more light.

4. Beautifully designed Water Taps

Your Washroom tapware can make a statement and add a personal touch to any room in the house. There is a huge range of designs and colors to choose from, so you can create a unique and stylish look for your Washroom. If the tap is not functional or not easy to use for children or the elderly, it is important to make sure that the water taps are easily accessible & easy to use.

5. Shower

One of the most-used features of a Washroom is the shower. Getting it right can make a huge difference to how it works and how much space it has.

You also need to think about the type of shower that will be used. If it’s for everyone, then a full-length shower screen should be chosen. A smaller screen is ideal for making the Washroom look bigger.

6. Towel rails & Hooks

You should always have easy access to your towels when in use. A towel rail or Hook should be able to accommodate both large and small towels.

7. Good Lighting

A good lighting system is important for a Washroom. It should be focused on providing natural light and not artificial ones. You should also consider the type of light that will work for the room.

Filling trash or rubbish in a rubbish bin without any rubbish-bin bags is not hygienic and besides disposing of trash or waste in the rubbish bin often will end up making fowl or stinking smell to the whole washroom over time.

10. Washroom Furniture

Washroom furniture will just complete the look, for example, a Washroom vanity which draws attention to the room and to add extra features we think it should be durable and well-made.

In a small Washroom, a wall-hung unit is a good choice. It allows more floor space to be visible and makes the room look bigger. If you have children, a wall-mounted unit may be ideal for them.
