Designing a commercial washroom to be practical, yet attractive, comfortable, and accessible can be challenging, especially if space is limited. Fortunately, a small washroom doesn’t mean you must compromise on its aesthetics, access or fixtures and amenities. With a few crucial space-saving solutions from our Modulo slimline range, you can create a comfortable and functional washroom that meets the needs of your employees and visitors. In this guide, we’ll look at key space saving bathroom ideas to help you create a comfortable, inviting and accessible washroom that promotes efficiency and cleanliness.
The Benefits of Maximising Space in Small Washrooms
There are three key benefits of maximising space in small washrooms: functionality, health and safety and appearance.
Functionality
Maximising the space in a small washroom can enable you to provide all the necessary amenities without overcrowding the space, making it easier for users to move around and access the facilities. Optimising the space can also allow you to include additional features such as baby changing stations to make it more versatile and accommodate different needs.
Health and Safety
While an overcrowded, cramped, cluttered washroom can be uncomfortable to use, it can pose certain safety hazards, such as tripping over obstructions. It can also make the washroom difficult for people with mobility issues or disabilities to access and navigate. Optimising the available space allows you to create a functional and spacious washroom clear of obstructions so all users can move around the space comfortably and safely.
Appearance
Maximising the available space in a small washroom can significantly enhance its appearance and improve the overall user experience. Optimising the layout and using space-saving fixtures can create a more open and spacious environment that feels less cluttered and cramped and more inviting and comfortable to use. A well-designed and attractive washroom can also help create a positive image of the company, reflecting its commitment to quality and the comfort and convenience of its employees and visitors.
The 5 Best Space-Saving Washroom Ideas
The Modulo Slimline ‘Behind the Mirror’ range can maximise space in even the smallest of washrooms. The innovative range of washroom solutions incorporates soap dispensers and hand drying options in one space-saving, attractive solution. By utilising the space behind the mirror, the Modulo Slimline dispensers are installed within the wall cabinet to provide everything you need in your washroom whilst freeing up valuable wall and floor space.
The Modulo Slimline range is made from high-quality powdered coated stainless steel, easy to clean and maintain, and fully customisable with multiple options for dispenser positions. Here are five of the best space-saving bathroom ideas from the Modulo Slimline ‘Behind the Mirror’ range.
1. ‘Behind the Mirror’ Soap Dispenser
The ‘Behind the Mirror’ Soap Dispenser allows you to streamline your washroom by concealing your soap dispensers behind the mirror. The stainless-steel dispenser is easy to refill and maintain. The touch-free dispensers are kept secure behind the lockable mirror door to protect them from contamination or tampering. They can be positioned where needed within the cabinet, depending on the layout of your basins.
2. ‘Behind the Mirror’ Hand Dryer
The ‘Behind the Mirror’ Hand Dryer is ideal for small washrooms. Hidden within a locked cabinet, it starts automatically when the touch-free dryer sensor detects hand movement underneath the cabinet. The stainless-steel hand dryer provides a fast and efficient hand-drying experience that uses energy efficiently to provide cost-effective alternative to paper towels if preferred.
3. ‘Behind the Mirror’ Paper Towel Dispenser
The ‘Behind the Mirror’ Paper Towel Dispenser is a large-capacity paper towel dispenser stored within a Modulo Slimline Cabinet. While the dispenser is quick and easy to refill, the fact that users don’t need to touch the unit helps to reduce cleaning. Spare washroom consumables can also be securely stored within the cabinet, making it an ideal space-saving solution for small bathrooms with limited space.
4. ‘Behind the Mirror’ Shelf System
The ‘Behind the Mirror’ Shelf System is ideal for bespoke installations that don’t require a full cabinet. This option provides a shelf that can be incorporated into bespoke cabinetry whilst still providing the easy positioning for dispensers. The shelf is easy to install and made from stainless steel and powder-coated black and is available in two standard widths, 600mm and 1200mm.
5. ‘Behind the Mirror’ Cabinet
The ‘Behind the Mirror’ Cabinet offers a stylish and practical way to conceal essential washroom dispensers to create a seamless washroom look and maximise wall space. The cabinet is fully customisable and can house soap and hand-drying dispensers above a basin. The 600mm cabinet has space for one soap dispenser and a paper towel dispenser or hand dryer. In comparison, the 1200mm cabinet provides space for up to three dispensers, for example, two soap dispensers and a hand dryer or paper towel dispenser. The cabinet is very easy to install and can be installed as a standalone unit or combined with others for longer linear runs.
