Maximising your bathroom space doesn’t have to mean a full renovation.

Simple design choices can make your bathroom feel larger, brighter, and more functional.

Before beginning your bathroom renovation, keep these 5 essential tips in mind to open up your bathroom.

1. Choose a Wall-Hung Vanity

Choose a wall-hung vanity to create the illusion of more floor space by lifting the cabinet off the ground. With the area beneath visible, the bathroom feels lighter and more open. It also makes cleaning easier and gives the room a modern, streamlined look.

Choosing a curved edge vanity to soften the look in the bathroom and hide any clutter in the vanity drawers instead of cluttering the floor.

2. Replace your Shower Curtains with Glass Shower Screens

Replace your shower curtains with a clear glass panel to add a modern touch without compromising functionality. This allows light to freely flow across the bathroom, making the space appear larger.

Millano Bathrooms offers a range of frameless or minimal-framed glass shower screens which allows unobstructed flow of light in the bathroom, creating a sense of continuity and openness. Contact our team to choose the style that best suits your style.

3. Add an LED mirror

Mirrors instantly brighten a room, making it feel more open.

A large mirror above your vanity is not only practical for daily grooming but also visually doubles the perceived space. For additional functionality, choose from our LED mirrors which come with defogging and motion sensor function.

4. Place your bathtub Back-to-Wall 

A back-to-wall bathtub sits flush against the wall, reducing unnecessary gaps and awkward corners. This arrangement frees up more floor space for movement and storage while giving the bathroom a cleaner and more organised look.

Hot tip: Corner bathtubs that sit flush against both walls are particularly effective in smaller bathrooms where every inch counts.

5. Wall-Mounted Toilet

Like wall-hung vanities, wall-mounted toilets lift the bulk of the fixture off the floor. This creates open floor space beneath, giving the bathroom a less crowded feel. Millano Bathrooms' wall-mounted toilets have a concealed cistern which reduces visual clutter giving it the  sleek and minimalist aesthetic.
