Getting into a tight spot in the bathroom



One of the most common problems in small bathrooms and cloakrooms is finding products that fit in the space and still look good.

A lot of the time people resort to tried and tested white pedestal basins or out-of-date corner units. In a small space any thoughts of having somewhere to store "stuff" simply disappear.

Of course, the reason why I'm bothering to write this 'ere blog is because at avante bathrooms we think we have the answer to the problem.

This little beauty of a wall hung unit is only 500mm across so it will fit into most tight spaces (standard bathroom furniture starts at 600mm or even 700mm). Because it's wall hung it doesn't take up any valuable floor space and it also benefits from storage space with a cupboard and drawer. We do it either in the wenge dark wood veneer shown or in a light oak veneer and at £250 it's keenly priced.

If you don't even have 500mm to spare then don't despair....the wall bracket is here to save the day. A wide selection of colourful basins can be added to gleaming chrome-plated wall brackets to create a stunning modern look and feel in the tightest of spots.

Wall mounted taps are another way of saving space as in the example shown here. These wondrously elegant Genova wall taps are at an amazingly priced £49 whilst stocks last. With a bit of careful planning as you do up the bathroom or cloakroom the plumbing for these taps can be done before you start with tiling or painting work.

So, it's about time we stopped neglecting the smaller rooms in our lives and started making them just as important as the kitchen and living room. It's a great way of making a real style statement without having to change the whole of the house.
