A stud wall can easily be erected by an FMB builder to divide a large bathroom and create a shower area. For a relaxed country look go for freestanding furniture paired with rustic baskets. Choose tall units that don't take up much floor area. Open shelving creates an airy, spacious feel, but keep it neat and only display decorative jars and bottles.
Turn an awkward alcove in a bathroom into a walk-in shower. Fired Earth's Lotus Flower sliding door enclosure comes in various sizes or can be made bespoke to fit your space perfectly. Retro-style wall tiles finished with grey grout create a smart utilitarian look.

SHELF LIFE
Double counter top basins are so stylish and practical, but leave you with less storage space. The answer is to add a shelf underneath. Match it to the width and length of the counter above and use vintage crates and boxes to store all your bathroom essentials out of sight – a great contrast with the contemporary fittings.

ALL WHITE
Make your ensuite feel more spacious by painting the floors and walls in a warm white and choosing white accessories. A wall-hung basin keeps the floor area free, and a slim tapering ladder shelf unit provides essential storage. Potted plants and bud vases filled with greenery break the all-white scheme and add a natural touch.
Make a statement with a glossy corner basin unit in a rich cocoa colour. Extending the unit into an integrated WC also provides a handy worktop above. Don't think you have to avoid pattern in a small space; a pale cherry blossom wallpaper looks gorgeous teamed with the textured white tiles.

Super Storage
When space is limited, installing multifunctional furniture is key. An illuminated mirror with storage inside and drawers below keep the room tidy. Stick to white on the walls but choose a wood-effect vinyl for the floor to add warmth and texture.
