Regardless of the size of a bathroom, big or small, somehow we can always do with more bathroom storage and extra space in the room.

Use these 5 top tips to optimise your bathroom space, inspired by the head designer of Bella Bathrooms and Tiles, Zerona Gerber:

1. Maximise Wall Space: Introduce space saving bath ware such as a heated towel railing and a wall hung basin.

2. Show it off: Use open cupboard spaces to store coloured towels, complimentary to the bathroom colour, providing storage for towels which add texture and contrast to the smoother, harder surfaces of the bath, vanity tops and tiles.

3. Simplicity is the new black: A shower or bath caddy is the perfect answer to keeping toiletries organized. Best of all you get a chance to enjoy an uninterrupted time out by having your soap, shaving gel or cosmetics and other bathroom necessities close at hand.

4. Retro revival: As standalone bathtubs continue to set the trend in bathroom décor, new possibilities open up for designers. Not only are décor artists now spoiled for choice with an extensive selection of bathtubs ranging from modern to vintage, this new bathtub fashion also provides additional spatial flexibility when it comes to positioning and further maximising bathroom space.

5. Compartmentalize: Clever use of a wall cabinet with different compartments provides the perfect place for bathing accessories such as shampoos, body wash and lotions. Even items that are usually stored away, like bathroom paper, can be artistically arranged and used as part of the bathroom décor.

We hope that you are inspired by these tips into making your bathroom a special place where you get to relax and savour some much needed time-out. We’d love to hear from you, so let us know your bathroom storage tips which add that special experience to your bathing routine.
