Make more room with clever storage
A calmer bathroom starts with a place for the things you use. Make a quick inventory, then choose storage around your daily routine.

Make the basin area work harder
A vanity unit can keep toiletries close to hand and leave the countertop clear. Check the usable drawer or cupboard space as well as the outside dimensions: plumbing and internal fittings may reduce what fits inside.
Wall-hung furniture can leave more visible floor space, while freestanding units can suit a traditional scheme. Either choice needs suitable fixing and access to pipework.
Use height and overlooked space
- Look at a tall unit when floor space is limited.
- Choose mirror storage where it suits the room and fitting requirements.
- Check that doors and drawers can open without hitting the toilet, shower or entrance.
- Keep everyday items easy to reach and store occasional items higher or further away.
Measure before you decide
Mark the unit’s outline on your plan, including handles and open doors. Check the product’s width, depth and height, then ask your installer to confirm the wall and plumbing arrangements. Compare the final options side by side before completing the room.
