We often get asked how to make a small bathroom look bigger, without going to the expense of a complete bathroom remodel. Here are a few tips and ideas that can make your space look larger than it actually is.

Villeroy & Boch Venticello

Keep your bathroom clutter free and simple

By far, the easiest and most effective way to make a small space appear larger is to keep it free of clutter.  Less is more in this case, keep the space simple and as minimal as possible. Organisation is key so bathroom storage is important to give you somewhere to keep your toiletries and any cleaning products. This will give a small bathroom a lighter, more open feel. We love the bathroom storage in the VitrA Sento range, Scandi styling, modern and offering a great choice in colour, size and storage options.

VitrA Sento in Matt Fjord Green

Don’t clutter your vanity unit with beauty products or other items keep them tucked away and one or two pieces to decorate such as a plant or candle.

Paint all four walls the same

While most of us love an accent wall this will make the space look smaller so we’d recommend keeping all four of your bathroom walls the same colour. And when it comes to colour keep it lighter.  Lightly coloured walls will open up your space and make it look and feel bigger than it is.

Light walls give the illusion of space

Choose wall mounted

Small spaces will look bigger if you choose wall mounted bathroom furniture and a wall mounted toilet. These will appear to be floating and give the idea of ‘space’ adding to the openness of your bathroom overall. It’s all about illusion – your eye will be drawn to the space underneath these objects and that gives the illusion of more space. A great wall mounted WC is the Villeroy & Boch Subway 2.0 Direct Flush Rimless Wall Hung Toilet.  This bundle includes everything you need for a complete installation, including the wall-hung pan, soft-close seat and rimless flush technology.

Install well-placed lighting

Bad lighting can make even the biggest room feel tiny. Consider adding lighting around your vanity or putting in some recessed lighting in the ceiling. The Origins Arc LED strip reel is available in either Warm White or Natural White and can be used around your bathroom vanity unit, mirror or along any countertop. It can work wonders to brighten up the space. And if you can add a window for some natural light, that is even better. The key is to make your space as bright as possible, which will create a much more open and inviting atmosphere.

A space for you and your family to enjoy

Follow these tips and whatever size your bathroom is will look and feel much bigger, a space that you and your family can enjoy.

Following up the holiday season, the beginning of the New Year is always the most exciting time to plan something new and fresh!

We are looking into the latest bathroom trends for 2018.

If you are looking to invest in a bathroom remodel, you’ll be wondering what are the popular current materials, textures or styles. And what are the latest designer innovations in bathroom technology?

Brass finishes

The above picture is the AXOR Uno Select Basin Mixer 80

The tonal metallic touch is not specifically a brand new trend, however, is not going anywhere soon.
Especially the choice of Brass! It brings a warm golden tone to your bathroom design and ramps up the luxury feel instantly.

The AXOR Uno Select presents the newest Hansgrohe brassware technology, the select control provides simple temperature control over the tap.

Blends with natural materials

The above picture is the Bauhaus Glide II Wall Hung Vanity Unit

A key material that brings a tactile natural element into your bathroom design is wood.

This walnut colour Bauhaus Glide II Wall Hung Vanity Unit provides a warm tone and handcrafted feel to your bathroom design.

This is an excellent example of the elegant mixture of natural materials that can be suitable for a modern bathroom design.

The units finish is fully proofed and tested for family bathroom use, so you can rest assured there will be no distorting and splitting on the unit.

The above picture is the Burlington Low Level Toilet

You can also add more of a natural element by using an oak toilet seat.

It fits really well with a traditional style bathroom and is much more attractive than a generic white plastic seat.

Innovative solutions

The above video is the Aqualisa Q Smart Concealed Shower with Wall Mounted Fixed Head

Who doesn’t like the improvement of technology? This high-tech Aqualisa Q Smart Concealed Shower will make your life so much easier.

Villeroy & Boch have long been the biggest name associated with bathrooms. V&B are renowned for their great design and world class engineering. As part of their already expansive collection, Villeroy and Boch have refreshed and reintroduced their SoHo collection, with the new SoHo 2.

Subway or SoHo?

We are asked all the time; “is that just Subway?”, “Why do some people still call it Subway?” or “How come it’s not on the Villeroy & Boch website?”. Ok, this bit is a little complicated, originally the SoHo collection was part of a range called Subway, but with the introduction of the newer Subway 2 range the collection was renamed SoHo. So there were two collections called Subway and there sort of still is, some people still call it Subway and some people call it SoHo to differentiate it. The SoHo collection as it was had been around for a few years, so when the new products have been introduced they were named: SoHo 2 (are you still with us here, someone thought that this made sense!). The Subway bathroom collection has dominated bathroom sales for the past decade; it’s the flagship range you think of when you think of Villeroy & Boch. It’s not the cheapest Villeroy & Boch range, but it is far from their most expensive. Now it’s called SoHo 2 the designers have gone back to the drawing board and re-engineered the furniture in the range; they have updated the finishes and used their most recent design

Now it’s called SoHo 2 the designers have gone back to the drawing board and re-engineered the furniture in the range; they have updated the finishes and used their most recent design innovations so that for the price, the quality will not be surpassed.

New features

The main differences in the new units are the drawers. The original Subway/Soho unit had one large draw and sub-divided draws within the unit:

The new Soho 2 unit has two large distinguished drawers, both with soft close mechanisms on them. This offers perfect storage for any of your typical bathroom products. The larger drawer at the bottom can more than handle large bottles:

The new furniture options come in updated finishes, you will always have a white gloss finish (it’s timeless and matches all any tiles). You have now got the option of:

Everyone at the UKB office has had a look at the new units; we think they are great and would easily recommend them to any of our customers. If you are looking to refresh your bathroom and are unsure where to start; Villeroy and Boch is a name you can be confident in, and the SoHo 2 is a range that will suit almost any bathroom layout.

For many it can be a challenge renovating a small bathroom, fittings and space are the main challenges that most people face. Design ideas are not only focused on the fittings because you can still remodel your bathroom without adding anything and retaining all the current fittings that you have. Let us suggest a few ways that can make your small bathroom better.

Most bathrooms have tiling in them, tiles prevent water from discolouring decorations and they are easily cleaned and can enhance the room. We would not suggest that you remove and replace these unless they are in a poor state; the glaze is crazed or discoloured for example. No take a look at the walls which are not covered by tiling and choose a new colour based upon the design of your tiles, we would suggest using a lighter colour if possible, if the tiles are all white, then a subtle light colour which will make a small space appear larger.

Lighting is an area which we believe can really make a bathroom appealing, forget the single light hanging from a cord in the centre of the room, many different styles of wall and ceiling lights, plus clever lighting on mirrors and cabinets gives any size of bathroom a luxury look and feel.

The biggest problem that we see in small bathrooms is unnecessary clutter and items of toiletries on windows baths and wash basins. Take out items that really do not belong there or have only been used a couple of times over the last year or so. If you do not have a suitable cabinet to store the items in, the best advice is to get a vanity unit. There are some stunning vanity units now available and many of these come with basin, taps and pop up waste already fitted, they are not expensive and very simple to fit, your plumber can do this job in a very short time, especially if an old pedestal style or wall fitting basin is removed.
