Many London bathrooms are small, awkwardly shaped or squeezed under the eaves. The good news is that the right layout and fittings can make even a compact room feel calm and spacious. These are the ideas we recommend most often.

Walk-in and wet-room showers

Replacing a bath with a walk-in shower opens up the floor and makes the room easier to clean. A low-profile tray or a fully tanked wet room with a linear drain gives a seamless, modern look.

Wall-hung fittings

Wall-hung toilets and basins show more floor, which makes the room look larger and leaves nowhere for dust to gather. Concealed cisterns also give you a handy shelf above.

Storage that fits

• Recessed niches in the shower wall for bottles
• Mirrored cabinets with built-in lighting
• Vanity units with deep drawers rather than cupboards

Tiles and colour

Large-format tiles mean fewer grout lines and a cleaner finish. Using the same tile on the floor and walls makes a small room feel bigger, while a feature wall or patterned floor adds character.

Heating and ventilation

Underfloor heating and a heated towel rail keep the room comfortable, and a quiet extractor fan is essential to prevent condensation and mould. We handle the plumbing, electrics, tiling and finishing so the whole job is coordinated.
