Design focus: 8 clever corner solutions to maximise space in any bathroom

Sometimes the best solution for an awkward-shaped bathroom is a product designed specifically to maximise corners. We round up 8 innovative ideas that help solve the problems posed by an attic en suite, a bijou bathroom or even an understairs cloakroom.

1 - Lecico Bathrooms
The Atlas Corner Basin from Lecico Bathrooms is the perfect solution to maximise available space in compact bathroom spaces. Measuring 47cm the Atlas Corner Basin is available in 1 taphole (basin code: ASWHCBA1) and 2 taphole (basin code: ASWHCBA2) variants and is designed to be installed wall hung. The Atlas range also offers a corner basin with pedestal (basin code: LGWHCR45BA1, pedestal code: LGWHPE). 

2 - The Shower Lab
The View 21.2H double-hinged bifold panels by The Shower Lab fold completely flush against the wall when not in use, offering the perfect wetroom space for compact bathrooms. When needed, the double-hinged panels effortlessly fold out, forming a splash guard, helping users maintain a dry space around the enclosure. The collection components are also available in 10 stunning finishes, including Gunmetal Grey, Matt Black, Polished Gold and the soon to launch Brushed Bronze.

3 - Atlanta Bathrooms
Atlanta Bathrooms' Herrington collection offers traditionally inspired painted units in widths ranging from 500mm to 1200mm, with extensive corner unit configurations, single and double basin options, and flexible storage combinations allowing retailers to offer solutions tailored to any space.

4 - hib.
Perfect for creating storage in small cloakrooms and en suites, Rivus from hib. offers the ideal corner furniture solution. Its compact specification, corner configuration and soft-close door ensure that it is a practical choice, while its contemporary styling and 4 finishes enable it to complement a range of bathroom looks. It is shown here with the Eris corner cabinet, which features mirrored sides and a double-sided mirror door.

5 - Merlyn
The 8 Series Folding Wetroom from Merlyn is the hero of the bijou bathroom. Folding away neatly and horizontally flush to the wall, this minimalist frameless screen allows the user to double the feeling of space in any small bathroom. Measuring 1950mm high, it's made from 8mm toughened glass and comes with Mershield Stayclear easy clean protected glass, as well as a lifetime guarantee for added peace of mind.

6 - Duravit
Asymmetric bathtubs are perfect for irregular-shaped rooms and enable a luxurious bathing experience with a comparatively low fill volume even for small floorplans. With sizes starting at just 1500 x 800mm, the trapezoid Duravit No1 bathtub offers bathing comfort in the smallest of spaces. Because of its asymmetric properties, it is ideally suited to a corner installation.

7 - Bathrooms to Love by PJH
The Venosa is a short-projection unit with a depth of just 210mm (390mm at the wider end) and a 1000mm width. It comprises a one piece L-shaped furniture pack with WC unit and 2-doored cabinet for practical storage space, and includes a one-piece white resin basin and worktop for a seamless look. It is also shown in the main image at the top of the page, along with a back-to-wall WC from the Bathrooms to Love collection, and the RefleXion Classix Quadrant shower enclosure.

8 - Flair Showers
BABY AYO by Flair stands at 1800mm high, to fit seamlessly under lower ceilings, making it the perfect wetroom solution for attic renovations and compact spaces. The 8mm toughened safety glass has been treated with a Clearvue hydrophobic coating that resists the build-up of grime and limescale. Suitable for use with either a shower tray, or wetroom installation, BABY AYO is available in Silver, Matte Black and Brushed Brass finishes.
