Tips and Hints

Try these expert space saving and storage tips in your bathroom. Check back often, we'll have more Tips and Hints for you soon!

Increase Space Storage

To increase your storage space in a smaller bathroom, use the space over the tiolet tank. Use open shelving, glass shelves or a closed cabinet. These should be at least 6" deep.

Extra Storage

For extra storage space add a pull-out drawer in the bottom of the vanity cabinet if your plumbing protrudes out of the wall. You'll be able to organize this space more efficiently.

Finishes and Styles

Try to match all of your bathroom accessories with the same finish (faucets, handles and knobs, towel rack, toilet paper holder, etc.). This will create a more cohesive look.

Vanity Finish

Be careful to which grade of sheen you use for your cabinetry. Low-sheen will not protect your wood doors from absorbing the humidity and warping.

Countertops

Consider an acrylic surface for your countertops in any bathroom, if you find the colour you like in the solid surface collection. It will give you a nice cohesive look on a small surface. It is easy to clean, durable and less expensive than granite or quartz.

Vanity Sink

Remember to choose the right sink for the right bathroom. A sink in a small powder room may be 15" wide maximum, check your cabinet when trying to plan for a larger sink, if required.

Faucets

You have more options when selecting 8" wide spread faucets to use in your master ensuite and other rooms, but for a powder room, consider the single-lever style faucet.
