\”May I ask about your home? Which space has the smallest area?\” – I believe 99% of people will say \”bathroom\”!

Generally, the bathroom area is only 4-5 square meters, and even some small apartments are only 2-3 square meters. Bathing and using the toilet will be crowded and bumpy. When there are children, using a bathtub to bathe the children will be a problem. It’s even easier to bump into!

Now I will share some space utilization plans for small bathrooms, you can learn from them!

1. Don’t use swing doors

Hinged doors will have a door opening sector, and toilets cannot be arranged in the sector. , wash basin and other facilities, otherwise the door will hit the bathroom! If the bathroom is small, the swing door will easily hit the wash basin. It is recommended to choose a door with a smaller floor area, such as:

① Sliding door

If there is sufficient space outside the bathroom, the best way is to use a sliding door and push the door directly to the side, so that it will not affect the layout and use of the bathroom.

②Folding door

If there is not enough space outside the bathroom, you can also adopt a folding door design to reduce the kitchen door opening sector and reduce the impact of the bathroom door on the space.

2. External wash basin

For small apartments, the external aisle of the wash basin is a very clever solution!

On the one hand, placing the wash basin outside the aisle area can make the aisle a place for washing and brushing teeth, reducing the occupation of bathroom space; on the other hand, it can also improve the efficiency of the bathroom space, such as when there are people in the morning When going to the toilet, other family members don’t have to wait around. They can still brush their teeth and wash their faces, which is especially suitable for small apartments with only one bathroom.

3. Shower curtain

If the bathroom area is small, it is not necessary to install a glass shower room. It is recommended to install a shower curtain partition!

Glass shower rooms are generally \”fixed\”, which will affect the use of space. For example, a distance of 30cm+ should be left between the toilet and the shower room; and the shower curtain can allow the toilet to be placed close to the shower area. The shower curtain can be put away without affecting the use of the toilet, and can be pulled out when taking a shower.Shower curtains prevent water from splashing into the toilet.

4. Squatting in the toilet

Compared with the toilet, which requires a separate area, the squat toilet is not afraid of splashing water from the shower. It can be installed in the shower area and has lower requirements for the location of the layout. In addition to the holes in the pit, the edge of the squat toilet can also be stood on. people.

Installing a squat toilet in a small bathroom will leave more space on the floor, making the small bathroom appear more spacious.

If your bathroom is small, you must make use of the corner space, so that it will be practical and convenient, such as the following corners:

①Behind the door

If the bathroom has a flat door, there will be a gap of about 8 cm behind the door. Install a hook at this position. You can place brooms and mops here, and it can also be used to hang towels, rags and other small items.

②After the toilet

The wall behind the toilet may It’s even bigger and would be a waste if not used! A towel rack can be installed in this position, or a mirror cabinet can be built to increase storage space.

③Window sill

The window sill in the bathroom is also very convenient for placing shampoo, shower gel and other supplies. However, when placing things on the window sill, be careful of falling objects from high altitude. It is recommended to install protective screens before placing things, otherwise do not put things up easily.

6. Niche

Like rough house decoration, if you seal the sewer pipe in the corner, you can make an extra niche next to the sealed pipe. This is an extremely practical bathroom storage design that takes up almost no floor space, but can store the washing machine Bottles and jars of hair lotion, shower gel, facial cleanser, etc. are all placed neatly and conveniently.
